More Halloween goodness!
This Swiss Pixies Halloween Birgitta image wasn't colored last year like my previous 2 cards - but I did color it a couple of months ago then forgot about it LOL!
I have a hard time jumping back and forth between occasions when making cards - when I'm on a Halloween kick that's ALL I want to make, when I'm on a Christmas card kick same thing etc etc.
Which could be fine but being on a design team and prepping for releases one has to be flexible and be able to make cards for the occasion that the new soon-to-be-released stamps call for.
Needless to say it's something I still struggle with!
anywho...
SP Halloween Birgitta was stamped onto CCD CQ80lb cardstock (Memento Ink) then colored in with Copics.
I cut her out with my paper snips and a craft knife (for someone who HATED using a craft knife for YEARS - I am really starting to like the thing LOL!) then blinged her out with a few different colors of Stickles. Namely Black Diamond, Orange Peel, Stardust and Lime Ice Stickles.
The sentiments are from the Spooky Sentiments set. I put them together (as they're separate stamps - makes it more fun to mix and match words/sentiments) onto the acrylic block before stamping them onto the patterned paper and punching them out with my SU oval punch.
The bats and the spiderwebs were made with my Martha Stewart punch, and of course I covered the bats with Black Diamond Stickles too :o)
The purple patterned paper is from the MM Toil & Trouble pack and the rest of the patterned paper and the brads are from the MME Boo! to You collection which I bought last year and still have loads left of it.
I *think* the ribbon is from May Arts - for once I'm not sure!! I've had it in my stash for a looonnnggg time and don't remember!!
On the inside of the card I used more patterned paper and die cut some cardstock with my Labels 4 die.
I stamped the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Spooky Sentiments set onto a scrap of patterned paper then die cut it with the same die before adhering it and that was it!
