31 Nights of Halloween - Night 16 - Special Guest Joy Baldwin

 

Hello, Whimsy friends! Tonight we welcome Joy Baldwin back to the blog.

Hi, crafty friends! I hope you have been having fun with the 31 Nights of Halloween Blog Celebration! I am so excited to be part of this event and to share an awesome Halloween card with you. I used the Going Catty and Going Batty stamps to make a slimline scene card. I have a video on my channel here if you'd like to see how I made this card.

For this slimline card I used the masking technique to make a scene card. I used images from the Going Batty and Going Catty stamp sets. I stamped the images with black, Copic-friendly ink, working with the images in the front and then masking over those images before stamping the ones behind them. I continued with that until all of the images were stamped and covered in masking paper.

I carefully inked the background with Distress Oxide Inks in Dried Marigold, Carved Pumpkin and Crackling Campfire. I peeled all of the masking paper off and colored the images with Copic Markers.

I stamped the sentiments in black and purple inks. I finished the card by adding Nuvo Crystal Drops, white gel pen highlights on the bats and pumpkins, and Glossy Accents on the eyes of the bats.

Thank you, Joy, for this fun scene and adorable card! To see more of Joy's work, check out her YouTube channel and blog.

Hello again!

I'm back for a second post as a Guest Designer 

for Whimsy Stamps!!!!

I am using the stamp sets Candy Corn Dress Up, and Going Batty
I also used some dies, Kinetic Curved Basics, Kinetics Curved Hills, and
Stitched Cloud.

I had a lot of fun creating this interactive card using the Kinetic Curved Basics Dies.
I used Bristol Smooth Cardstock and distress oxide inks in the following shades:
wilted violet, evergreen bough, fossilized amber, and black soot. Then I added some splashes of water and splatters of white and gold paint.

I colored up Going Batty with Copic Markers in shades of
V12, W0, W1, W3, and B000.
For the moon I used a circle die and colored it with C0, C1, C2, C3, C7, and W5.
I heat embossed the sentiment and added some googly eyes to
the moon bat. I added clear stickles for shimmer.

For this next card I inked up the Stitched Cloud Dies with hickory smoke.
The colored fence with antique linen and vintage photo inks
and the field with mowed lawn.
I used tattered rose for the sky. I added some accents
with Copic Markers.

I colored up images from Going Batty and Candy Corn Dress Up with Copics:
YR04, YR07, Y11, Y15, Y17, G000, G02,
E23, E29, C1, C2, C5, V01, W1, W2.

I heat embossed the sentiments and added clear stickles for shimmer.

For this last card, I used Prismacolor pencils and Copics to shade in
Candy Corn Dress Up.

I colored the unicorn cutie with the following Copics: YR02, YR04, Y11, Y15, BG49, BG09
V01, and V05. I added Stickles for shimmer.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek!!!

Hello there!

I am so excited to be a Guest Designer for 

Whimsy Stamps this month!!!!

I created two cards, and I used the stamp sets Candy Corn Dress Up and Going Batty. 

I also used some dies, Kinetic Curved Hills and Tombstone Tag.

And, of course a stencil, Sun Rays!

I started off by inking up some watercolor cardstock. 

For the night time sky I used distress oxide inks in shades 

tumbled glass, mermaid lagoon, and chipped sapphire. 

Than I placed the Sun Rays Stencil over the cardstock and 

brushed on some white ink. I added a few splashes of water.

For the field I used crushed olive, mowed lawn, and forest moss 

and added a few splashes of water and paint splatter.

  I die cut the field using Kinetic Curved Hills.

I die cut the tombstone with the Tombstone Tag Dies and
used hickory smoke and black soot to color it.

I wrote RIP with a gel pen.

I colored up the Candy Corn Dressup cuties with Copic Markers in these shades: 

W0, W1, W3, Y15, Y17, YR04, YR07

V12, V17, C1, C2, C5, C7

E25, and E29.

For the wood fence I used Wo, W2, W4, and W6.

I heat embossed the sentiments.

I added some shimmer using clear stickles.

For this next card I inked up the Sun Rays Stencil using wilted violet,

fossilized amber, and twisted citron.

Then splattered the same inks onto the background.

I colored the images from Going Batty with Copic Markers in the following shades:

V12, V17, Y13, Y17, YG21, YG25

BG11, E31, E33, W00, W1, W6

E70, E71, E74, E79, E93, W00, W1.

I used hickory smoke to create a base.

I added some clear stickles for shimmer and some sequins.

I hope you enjoyed this post!
