Well it's been awhile but I have a new card to post. We have had a very hectic few weeks and I haven't had much time to spend in my craft studio. I decided to check out a couple of challenges and work on a card tonight and this is what I came up with. This card is for 2 different challenges the first is the
Simon Says challenge "
rubber or clear stamp" and the second is the
Kraftin' Kimmie challenge "
back in black". The challenge from Simon Says was to use a rubber or clear stamp... no digis. Well that was a problem, since I don't have a lot of digi stamps but tons of rubber & clear ...how do I decide which to use?. So I thought if I combined the challenge with the Kraftin' Kimmie challenge (which was to use black on your project) that would help me to narrow down the choices. However, I seem to have accumulated quite a few Kraftin' Kimmie stamps over the last year. If you look at the bottom picture you will notice I have quite a collection and it just keeps growing. I finally decided I better get busy with my Halloween cards and this is what I came up with.
For this card I started with the Kraftin' Kimmie stamp Mr. Punkin Head and colored him with copic markers (YR02, 04, 07, 21, 23, 24 - N01, 03, 05, 07 - BG93, 99 & 110). I used the out of the box technique to cut the image out using spellbinders petite ovals (I think it kind of looks like he is stepping out of a portal of sorts. I used a spider web stamp from a Basic Grey Halloween stamp set to add some details to the oval. I cut the fence out using the memory box "weathered fence" die and the top decorative edge pieces with the Tim Holtz "ornate" die. I edged most of the pieces with prima tin can and versa magic black chalk inks. The greeting is from the crafty secrets "Halloween Fun" stamp set and I added a few rhinestones for a little more detail. The patterned paper is from the Echo Park "Apothecary Emporium" paper pack.
I want to be able to spend some more time crafting over the next few weeks...I really hope to have some projects to post next week...have a good week everyone!!!
