Foolish Mortals

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a card made using the Haunted Halloween set, and Spooky Eyes stencil, from Scrappy Boy Stamps. I've had these for a while now and just hadn't used them yet - until now. 

 

I started out by stamping the hitch-hiking ghosts onto scrap Hammermill white card stock before coloring using my Ohuhu markers.  Once the coloring was finished, I stippled black dye ink around my "hitch-hikers" before setting aside.  Taking the stencil, I stenciled Opalite Sterling Frost ink that I've had for a decade, or more, and also hadn't used.  Once the stenciling was dry, I added my ghost layer, a black border using scraps before adding my layered sayings.  The final touch was adding some Thunderstorm bling.  I'm pretty happy with it even if it's a 6x6 card.

A Couple Of Bookmark Eras

Hello and welcome.  For one of my final projects to share for 2024, I'd like to show you a couple of bookmarks I made my daughter for Christmas.  She is an avid reader and a HUGE Swiftie so when I saw this Taylor Swift look alike Country Girl stamp set from Scrabby Boy, I bought the stamp set in a hurry.

I started out by stamping the images in memento tuxedo black ink onto scrap Neenah white card stock.  I then stamped the song lyrics around "Taylor" before coloring them using both Lyra Giant Skintone and Castle Arts colored pencils.  Once my coloring was finished, I lightly stippled leftover stormy sky distress ink that was on my blender brush.  After layering the image panels, I added matching bling and stickles to her outfits as much as possible to the ERAS Tour ones.  I then placed them into some sleeves I had (bought 10+ years ago in bulk) before adding matching ribbon.  I'm really happy with how they turned out and so is my daughter.  She's asked me to make a couple more for one of her Swiftie friends.
