Spooky Cards

Hi crafty friends, I have enjoyed making home decor for Halloween, I turned my creative juices to create Halloween Cards. I used BoBunny's "Wonderfully Wicked" paper collection.

 This card is a 5 X 5, the base card is black card stock, and three layers of pattered paper,  all the edges where distressed using a distressing tool. I used an orange organza ribbon along with a thin green silk ribbon wrapped around two layers then accented with a BoBunny blossom & a tag with "have a frightfully fun Halloween stamped on it.  I used glossy accents on the chipboard witch, and spider. I also used glossy accents on the spider web that is peeking through the distressed paper. 

This card is 5.5 X 5.5" base card is black card stock, I used 1 layer of patterned paper,  I used glossy accent on the skull that was on the paper, I used a stencil and heavy gel medium to get the pattern on the paper, I used BoBunny Bronze glimmer spray to darken the pattern. I used black cheese cloth dropped over the right side of the card along with a bony hand, black garland and a BoBunny blossom to finish off the card. 

This card is standard 4.25 X 5.5, I used black card stock then layered 1 piece of patterned paper with a small piece of paper as an accent on the left, I used several pieces of embellishments from the collection, using glossy accents on parts of the embellishments, finishing the card with a blossom & a purple ribbon. 

Supplies Used:

BoBunny patterned paper : Wonderfully Wicked

BoBunny Blossoms

Craft Ribbon - orange organza,  Purple craft Halloween Ribbon,  Green satin Ribbon

Colors of Fall

Hi, thanks for stopping by, I am here to share todays project "Colors of Fall" four fall cards,
fall is such a pretty time of year with the weather changing, which means all the trees are changing colors as well. I created them using Tim Holtz die " Tattered Leaves" and the new paper collection by Quick Quotes "Earth Wind Fire".

The view of all four cards, I used earth wind fire and the Tim Holtz die "Tattered Leaves". With each card the back ground was created by using many the scraps. I used the scraps in many different directions creating unique backgrounds. I then used a larger piece of the paper to layer over the unique backgrounds to layer the leaves and the letters of fall.

 Card 1

Each of the leaves has been distressed with Navy PowderPuff Chalking Ink.  The leaves tied with a thin string distress with PowderPuff Chalking Ink, This was repeated on all four of the cards with the exception that Bard Board Chalking Ink was used instead of Navy.
