Hi everyone.. It’s Holly here today! Halloween is just around the corner and I’m loving all the fun Halloween and Fall sets that have been released this year. It makes it really hard to pick a Favorite! Today I’m using the My Favorite Things Frightful Friends and Grave Situation stamp sets.

I started out by cutting two pieces of Neenah Solar White cardstock to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Then I die cut one panel using the Pizzaz Pieces Creative Cuts die set from Mama Elephant. I lined the die cut panel up with the other panel and made some pencils marks inside the circle window. Then using some Distress inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Dusty Concord and Spiced Marmalade I created a background for the window opening. Once the Distress inks were dry I stamped the Fence and Bat images from the Frightful Friends set using some VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I added some Foam tape to the back of the window panel and adhered it over the Distressed panel. Then I adhered both panels to a Black top folding card base.

I stamped the Vampire, Bat and Grass images from Frightful Friends and the Gravestones from Grave Situation sets onto some White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Copics. Then I die cut them using the coordinating die sets and my Big Shot. I adhered them with liquid glue and foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment from Frightful Friends onto a piece of White cardstock in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and die cut it using the Avery Elle Pierced Banners Die set. Then I adhered it just behind the Vampire image with some additional Foam tape. I wanted a little extra highlight so I added some white with a White Gel Pen. Super Cute!!

I used the following Copic Sketch Markers:

Vampire: (Cap & Boots) R29, R17, R39, Y23, Y28 (Shirt) C1,C00 (eyes) B00,B000 (Suit) C8,C6, C4, C1 (Skin) E000, E00,E51, E53 (Hair)T8, T6, T5,T3 (Grave Stones) W0,W2,W4,W6, W8 (Grass) YG09,G07,G28.

Hi everyone.. It’s Holly here popping in today to share a card using some of the new Products from WPlus9.

I’m using the cute new addition to the Friends for All Seasons Collection. Friends for All Seasons: Summer stamp set and the Coordinating Die Cuts. I started by stamping and die cutting the images onto some Neenah Solar White card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I colored them in with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out with my Big Shot and I set them aside. I stamped the inside of the Kite with some Mermaid Ink from Lawn Fawn. 

Then I created a Distressed background for my images using some Tim Holtz Watercolor paper and Distress Inks in Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Tumbled Glass & Salty Ocean. I die cut a panel of Watercolor Paper with the Sew Fancy Creative Cuts from Mama Elephant. and then I used the Tree Border Die from WPlus9 and cut a tree line. I cute a hillside using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border dies as well. Using a mini ink blender I added the Distress Ink to the pieces and spritzed them with some Water to create a Distressed look. Then I reassembled the pieces to create my scene. I die cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid paper from the 6×6 pack using the Blueprints 29 from MFT and adhered it to the card front. Then I added the image panel with some Foam Adhesive.

I added a sentiment inside the card along with and extra image that I colored and die cut as well. This is a great Friendship card or a card to just say Bonjour!

I used the following Copics to color my images:

E70,71,74,77,79, R20,Y08,R05, 27, 39 & 0

Here is a close up of the onesie – you can see how the subtle shadows of the Warm Grays just around the edge of the image and blended in toward the center really gives some added dimension and you still look at the image as white but it has some pop to it.

For the inside of my card (which I forgot to photograph) I used some sentiment stamps from the Mama Elephant – Just Hatched stamp set. This is another great baby set with some adorable images!
