Spooky Lavinia card

Two weeks ago I attended a workshop @ In ‘t woefke. The purpose was to create fairylike cards using Lavinia stamps, but I felt like creating a spooky card too:

All stamps are by Lavinia, except for the sentiment, which is Stampendous.

I only had used this card size (100 x210 mm) a handful of times before, but I actually really like it, so I’m pretty sure I will use it more often in the future.

This is my entry for the following challenges:

 

 

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble

Haunted Design House offered us an interesting recipe with the following 5 ingredients: black, purple, green, metal and flourish.

Here’s what I brewed in my cauldron:

I mounted a green bubble background ATC on a black and purple card featuring clear embossed flourishes. My metal ingredient consists of a silver heat embossed pentagram. Sorry for the bad scan, in real life the green ‘s got a bit more punch and the pink is actually neon pink.

Stamps used

  • Witch:  Gaïa
  • Cauldron & mouse: Cherry Pie
  • Bats: Stampers Anonymous
  • Pentagram: Make your mark
  • Bubble sentiment: Stampendous

Inspired by a song… a rather creepy one

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a creepy card! Soon you’ll start thinking that I’ve been kidnapped and someone else has taken over my blog!

Well, it’s still me posting, and here’s the proof:

This card was inspired by the song ‘Witches Brew’ by a Dutch band called Omnia. It’s a tribute to Shakespeare of course. I couldn’t find an official video, but if you would like to listen, here’s a slideshow video made by a fan:

 

I’d like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Stamps used

  • Poem: Stamp Francisco
  • Witch: unknown

Halloween card

Are you also counting down the days to Halloween? I’m certainly enjoying creating creepy ATCs and cards!

Here’s a quick card I made for the following challenges:

I used a circular die cut as a mask and sponged the moon and the nightsky with Distress inks. I used Tim Holtz masks to sponge the witch and the cat. I stamped the Tim Holtz’ bats and Halloween sentiment and added a few dots with a white gel pen.

More Halloween ATCs

I’m still enjoying playing with Halloween stamps and colours. The past few weeks I’ve been creating a series of Twinkling H2Os Halloween ATCs. I created two more this weekend.  I painted the backgrounds using Twinkling H2Os and heat embossed the images.

I’d like to enter them to the following challenges:

Stamps used

  • Spiderweb: Inkadinkado
  • Witch:  Gaïa
  • Cauldron & mouse: Cherry Pie
  • Magic Happens: Scrolls Work

Stamps used

  • Frog: Inkadinkado
  • Witch:  Third Coast

Here’s another view of them (it’s hard to capture their bling and their real colours)

Halloween Blog Hop – Post 5

Welcome to post 5 of my Halloween Blog Hop. If you’d like to win one of my Halloween ATCs, read the instructions in this post.

Here’s the fifth ATC I’d like to share with you in this Blog Hop:

This is my take on the Daring Cardmakers “There’s something in the air” challenge. Again a twinkling H2Os background, but I used another colour combo this time.

The fifth letter you’ll need is “T“. Now fly over to the sixth and final stop!

Halloween Blog Hop – Post 4

Welcome to post 4 of my Halloween Blog Hop. If you’d like to win one of my Halloween ATCs, read the instructions in this post.

Here’s the fourth ATC I’d like to share with you in this Blog Hop:

I’d like to enter this ATC to the Darkness Inspiration “Witches” challenge and to the Irish Teddy’s “Make your own background” challenge. If you followed my Blog Hop, you’ll already know that I created this background using Twinkling H2Os. Unfortunately you can’t really see sparkle on scanned images, but believe me,  the ATCs sparkle a lot more in real life.

The fourth letter you get from me is “U“. You’ll be cast to the next Blog Hop post by clicking here!
