Hi friends! Well, my crafty cave is in full on Halloween mode now! I am whipping up lots of orange and black concoctions to share with you! Having fun too! Have you started your Halloween crafts yet? I have collected so much stuff over the years that now my Halloween stamping stuff takes up two giant plastic bins! Love that. Every year, there's more cute stuff. Today I'm posting a card I created using Taylored Expressions stamps for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #138. The sketch just went up, so there's lots of time to play...care to join me?
First off, here's my card:
And here's the sketch image:
Great opportunity to use lots of cool patterned papers! I chose these papers from Echo Park and the Project Pantry Kit from Taylor! The stamp set is the uber cute Moka Tabitha!
I wasn't really sure how to line up everything! I really just winged it with the diagonals. I cut a piece of white paper the size I wanted and then layered my pieces (cut to 1.5 inches wide) over that white piece and then trimmed the whole thing at once. I think it came out okay. I'm sure there's a good trick to this somewhere!
I cut a black scallop using this die and then layered a piece of ribbon tape on top...Stamped my sentiment and put the whole thing together!
I used a lot of markers on this one! Lots of cool grays instead of black, for her dress, hat and boots. The rest of the colors were oranges and browns.
Isn't she the cutest witch ever!?
Okay, that's it for me today! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! See you soon!
This is FANTASTIC Wanda! GORGEOUS coloring on this sweet Moka!
