New Release - Halloween card - Pumpkin Boy - Creepy Creatures collection with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Sunday... yes I'm back! 2 days in a row Shock Horror  LOL

It's another sunny hot Autumn day here today at 30C again, wonderful I know and I'm definitely not complaining given the weather in the UK at the moment, but I would really like it a little cooler now - good for drying the washing.

There is a brand new release from Polkadoodles and its just perfect for all those Halloween projects.  Creepy Creatures collection is 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 first card I chose to use the Cute and Creepy Bundle, this is Pumpkin Boy and I've used the pre-coloured version for this card although he is available for you to colour too!

It's a larger A7 or 5" x 7" card so I resized the character to suite my design and then printed him out a couple of times so I can do a little fussy cutting and decoupaging for dimension. 

I chose one of the spooky papers from the collection, Loving the orange and teal so I used this as my colour pallet for the die cut frame and banners and also blended distress ink around the edge of the paper to add darker tones.

I added splatters of white and black gesso to the paper and also distress mica spray so in real life the card has a spook shine to it. 

To finish off the design I added white gelly roll pen highlights around the the card.

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 !

I Love Promarkers #565 - In the Jungle - Feel better soon - Sponsored by Polkadoodles

Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Friday! 

I'm on my blog today for the new bi-weekly I Love Promarkers blog challenge , it would be wonderful if you joined us over there if you love to colour with alcohol markers and don't forget there are prizes up for grabs.  

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

This challenge is being sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - In the Jungle, using the very sweet digital stamp Hang in there little monkey from the Too Cute collection, to make a get well card.

This is a DL card, created with a panel of green cardstock, I have used the stencil to create a leafy background.  Next using a dark green card I have die cut the inlay panel and then adhered this over the top of the stencilling to create the look of the jungle.

The sweet monkey was resized for the card, coloured with my promarkers and fussy cut out before adding to the card along with a sentiment from one of the other too cute sets. 

I de cut a few extra leaves and after adding ink to the centres, adhered these over the leafy frame.

Just a few sequins where added around the design to complete todays card.

I really hope that you like 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 👋

You're So Sweet - Stay Cool Ice creams with Studiolight

Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Friday! I hope that you have had a lovely week and are looking forward to the weekend. 

I'm on my blog today with a very Summery card that I've made using a new set of clear stamps.  These sweet ice creams are from a set by Studiolight and I wanted to create something for the current Simon Says Stamp July challenge on Instagram to use the three colours pink, blue and green, a perfect combination for Summer!

This is a simple A6 (UK Size) card created with a layer of white card on a white card blank.  

I started off by stamping the three ice creams onto watercolour card stock and then coloured them using my watercolour paints, sticking to the theme, before fussy cutting out and using a black marker to hide the white outline.

Next I stamped the three ice creams onto a panel of white card before using my texture stamp and distress inks to create the splatters - I think they look like splashes of ice cream dropped onto the page.

Once the distress ink was dry I adhered the fussy cut ice creams into place along with a sweet sentiment from the set which I adhered with foam tape after doodling a black outline.  

Next I added white gel pen highlights here and there and some clear iridescent sequins to finish off my card for today.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card for today and will drop by again to see my next project.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
