Eat, Drink & Be Scary!

Hey Crafty Friends,

Thanks for stopping by again today. As some of you may know I am part of the Coffee Bean Design Team who run the Multi Crafters Craft Cafe on Facebook. If your not already a member I recommend you check it out for a range of talent and inspiration. You can find them here.

This month we were provided with some spooky treat images by Sarah Kay, you can find my first blog post using one set of images on the Coffee Bean blog here.

I was kindly gifted the other image sets, if you would like to see my 2nd project using the Halloween lollipop please visit my Instagram post here.

So here I am today to share with you my 3rd project using the Sarah Kay images which you can purchase from the Etsy store here. As always all other product links can be found at the end of my post.

Now to the card! Starting with the images printed on alcohol marker friendly cardstock, I coloured them up using my original Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. (Click any image to view it larger)

Colour combination:

Cupcake case & candy- GB6, GB3 & GB3 with a hint of OR2

Witch hat & Bat - IG9, IG7 & IG5

Frosting & Cat eyes - AG5, AG3, AG2 & AG1

Cat - DR6, DR4 & DR2

For the background I've used Distress Inks to create a galaxy theme background, Blueprint Sketch, Abandoned Coral, Carved Pumpkin, Cracked Pistachio and Black Soot. The white splatters is acrylic paint.

Taking out my favourite Heffy Doodle Stitched rectangle dies I cut the main panel for my card, I knew I wanted some sort other background too so took another rectangle die and cut a smaller panel out of coloured cardstock.

I took a white gel pen to create a spider web theme on this panel and added a sentiment in a cracked frame image all from the stamp sets. The frame and the sentiment has a dusting of Blueprint sketch ink that was left on my brush from the background.

I hope you like this as much as I do. Keep an eye on my Instagram for the 4th and final project using these fab Sarah Kay images which I will be sharing soon!



As always I appreciate your comments left below.

Until next time, happy crafting!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to have

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you
