Halloween Rocker Cards

 Hi everyone!

So, there was this challenge in July on Scrapbook.com to make mini cards.  I thought it would be cute, so I signed up.  WOW, what fun!

I pulled out my oval nested dies and used them to cut the card base. 

Dimensions of the finished rockers are 5 inches long x 2 inches high. 

The decorations at the top of each card make it more. Boo has a double mat.

(I think BOO! is my favorite.)

All of my base cards were made with white cardstock except Lucky which was made with a hot pink pearl card base.

I used a set of nested scallop ovals to cut papers that I used to mat the card bases. 

I tried to make each cardlet (?) in a different style.

I managed to use up a few scraps along the way!

Enjoy!

 White on White Card

Hello dear friends!

Can you believe that it's September already? Time flies, that's for sure.

Today's card features a technique that is not new, but it has a great look on a card.  

I have done this card in white on white.  Any color will do as long as it's the same color for the card base and the die cut that you add to the surface.

This is an A2 sized card made with white cardstock. There are no mats, and no embossing. This card is made with two layers: the card base and the design layer you glue on top. That's it.

I have a couple dies of script handwriting. The dies come from Tattered Lace. I used the large one here. Nothing is said in this die cut. It's all just random letters.

I die cut some flowers (Diamond Press) in white card and layered them. I also cut two leaves in white card.
After assembling the flower and attaching it to my card, I used a clear Sparkle pen (Crafters Companion) to color the petals on the top flowers only. I hope the picture is ok to see the sparkle. In real life, it's dazzling.

I added some gold gems to complete.
I haven't added a sentiment on the front because I didn't want to interrupt the flow of the card. The sentiment will go on the inside.

Thanks for stopping by,

Lis
