New Release - Scary Things - Halloween card - Creepy bird in a hat - Creepy Creatures collection with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Monday... I hope that you have all had a great weekend.  I've got loads of admin to do on the computer this week... I've been bad not been keeping on top of things so I'm hoping to sort that out soon and then I can craft again....fingers crossed.

I'm back with another card from the brand new Creepy Creatures collection  by Polkadoodles.  It's a fantastic collection of 3 bundles.  Cute & Creepy, Witches & Broomsticks and Creepy Things, 

Inside the collection you’ll find everything from pumpkins, ghosts, skeletons, mummies, bats, monsters and creepy dolls, to witches, broomsticks, cauldrons, spell books, black cats and potion bottles. Perfect for trick or treat cards, party invites, scrapbook layouts, junk journal spreads, stickers, planner pages and DIY stationery.

Each design comes as both pre-coloured images for quick makes and black & white digital stamps for colouring at home. Every bundle also includes free SVG outlines, making them ideal for Cricut, Silhouette Cameo and Brother ScanNCut.

For my spooky card today I chose to use the Creepy Bird in a hat  from the Cute and Creepy Bundle.  I resized the image to suit my A6 landscape card and then duplicated the image, flipping one so the two birds face each other.  I also added one of the spooky sentiments to the panel before printing out onto alcohol friendly cardstock and colouring with my Promarkers.

I wanted to create a spooky night time scene so I fussy cut out the top of the birds creating a small hill and then used distress inks to colour this.  I added a little green splatter to the grass for detail.

For the background panel I used a moon mask & Stencil and distress inks, adding water splatter to add texture.

I used foam tape to mount the bird design over the moon panel - a really simple but spooky design

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Best Witches - Halloween card - Cute Halloween Bundle - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Saturday......The weeks are absolutely flying past...till soon be you know what ! Today is a special day for us as we moved here from the UK permanently 8 years ago and its been the best thing ever.  It was a big step retiring early from our jobs and upping sticks, but perfectly planned and we haven't looked back...my only regret is not being able to do it sooner x

We are off to Granada for the day, a spot of wandering around the city and lunch is booked at a new (to us) restaurant overlooking the Alhambra.  We visit the city at least once a month as its only 40 minutes drive away and it's my favourite place to visit - no matter how often we go there is always more to see and more culture to soak up.

It's time to share another cutie for Lili of the Valley (LOTV)  using their latest  Cute Halloween bundle featuring 35 very cute Ghosties, ghoulies and witches, definitely everything you need to create some fantastic Halloween projects.

The huge bundle is now available in the Etsy shop and don't miss out on the fabulous sale price (Ends very soon !)

For todays card I've used one of the cute little witches from the bundle, zooming around on her broomstick.

I resized her to fit my A6 card and then printed out, colouring with promarkers before fussy cutting out....I also printed out a fabulous spooky sentiment too.

I chose one of the papers from the Cosmic paper bundle and used this for my card, die cutting an aperture through which I used the stencil to add the moon directly onto the card base.

The sentiment was die cut and I blended a little purple and blue ink to that it blended in with the card design.

Finishing touches were some clear sparkle for her outfit, white gel pen highlights and sparkly confetti around the design.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share for Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #764 - For a Boy Sponsored by Di's Digis

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely day !

Today I'm here to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog challenge and I hope that you will join in.

This weeks challenge theme of 'For a Man or a boy' has been chosen by Me for team 2 and the prize this week is being given by 

This is a simple A2 (US size) card today and I have used a super cute digital stamp from Pink Gem Designs called Dani Dragon with Balloon.  

I think he's a perfect dragon for a little boy (or a big boy come to that) and I wanted to create a little nighttime scene for my dragon and was given some pretty dark sky designer paper a few years ago that I thought would be perfect for it.  I decided to stick to yellow, green and blue colours too for my more masculine card.

I started by cutting a piece of the paper to fit my card base and then used a circular die to cut an aperture.  I then used a moon stencil to create the moon that would fill the aperture using distress ink.

I resized the digital image of Dani and coloured him with promarkers before fussy cutting out.  I then adhered the coloured dragon with foam tape for dimension.

The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed on a piece of white card then I have blended distress ink over the top to blend in with the card.

The finishing touches were some pieces of gold confetti around the design, grey metallic gelly roll pen for the balloon string and white gel pen highlights. 

 

I hope that you join in with the challenge as there is a prize from the sponsor for our lucky winner!

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog

I Love Promarkers DT - Challenge #533 - black & white

Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! I hope that you are having a lovely week.

I'm back on my blog today with the I Love Promarkers blog challenge  which is bi-weekly and it would be wonderful if you joined us, there are prizes up for grabs too.  

You can find all of the rules and details for the challenge over on the blog. 

This challenge is being sponsored by Colour of Love, Heather Valentin is a new artist for me and there are lots of beautiful images and colouring pages in her shop to play with so it was really difficult to choose for today.

Here is my inspiration card for the blog challenge with the theme of a Black and White card, using a fun image called Sleepy Time Agnes 

I think this would make a perfect modern looking and non traditional new baby card and its super sparkly in real life.

I decided to create a 6" x 6" card today for this sweet image, I've used a Kraft card base and then cut a peice of white card to size leaving a small border. Next I have cut a peice of black card stock again leaving a border of white.

To create my starry background I've used a starry 2 part stencil from Lawn Fawn, for the first layer I've added white ink and then let this dry. For the second layer I have used clear stencil past through the second stencil and then added a white sparkly glitter to the stars allowing this to completely dry before adding to my card base.

The digital stamp was resized to fit my card and then printed out onto alcohol marker friendly card before colouring with my promarkers (see below for colours used).  Once coloured I have fussy cut out the image and then mounted this on to my card using foam squares.

The sentiment is from a set by Woodware and I've simply stamped in black ink onto a strip of white card.

The finishing touches are some white Nuvo drops around the hanging starts and I have used a metallic sparkle pen to highlight some of the details in the image.

I'm really pleased with my project today, I love the black and white background and the moon and lamb seem to glow in the sky.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the I Love Markers blog

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
