Bling Witch

Hi everyone!

Well, it's almost Halloween!  My sister loves this holiday and I can't blame her. It's full of fun and lots of candy to be had!

Today's card uses a Tim Holtz die that is a wonderful witch on a broom.

I die cut the witch from chipboard and painted it with white gesso and then purple acrylic paint.  The witch was VERY purple and I wanted to do something to make her more interesting.  (Im not sure I accomplished this!)  I added some bling to the center of the witch - after all it's magic!  And I added so glitter glue and a black hat.

I embossed the background with an embossing folder on gold glossy.

 Close Up!
I roginially painted the entire witch purple but I wanted to accent it with another color (too much purple....LOL) so I painted the hat black.  I think it turned out pretty good.

I like the way the distress stickles glitter looks over the background purple of the broom.

I hope you enjoyed today's card.  Come back again for more inspiration!

31 Boo Halloween Card

Hi everyone!  Hope that you are having a great week, eating candy corn and getting your costumes ready for Halloween!

Today's card turned out to be a neat kind of card for me! 

I used one of the Tim Holtz Kraft Resist Halloween papers.  I colored each section using distress inks in the sponge top bottles (red, milled lavender, peeled paint and weathered wood).  I edged the paper in gold and mounted it on a lighter orange piece of cardstock.  My card base is black.  I mounted the tag onto my card using mounting tape.

Close Up!

I love the way the bling curls around the tag and the BOO!

Do you have any bakers twine? I think I have a little bit of every color!  I haven't used it much in my cards yet but this is one card that I thought it would really look great in!  The twine is wrapped around the card twice.  I punched two holes in the tag and laced the twine through it before tying.

This turned out so cool!  I used the negative of the Sizzix die cut (31) and sprayed a copper perfect Pearls using the negative space as a template.  It turned out really great!  You can see the number as you turn the card. (It looks much better in person and you can clearly see the "31" on the card.  The picture is not that clear above.)

I hope that you will give this one a try!  Thanks for stopping by!
