Hello everyone!!!
Waffle Flower's September Release is now available!
You can check out everything new at my links below:
I'm kind of crazy-excited for the little Color Swatches for Ink Pads set - after Waffle Flower released those amazing swatch and color wheel sets last month (more on those HERE) I was so excited to get this mini set that you can use WITH the Color Swatches stamp set and the Swatch Tag stamp set to do up swatches for your stamping inks!
As embarrassing as it is to admit - I've been stamping for over 15 years now and I've NEVER made up swatches for any of my stamping inks 😱. It's ridiculous and I know it. I really hate fiddling with documents and my printer (I love to hate that thing) and whatnot so any sort of printable swatch files I struggled with - and then put off doing anything about it. THIS tho.... I'm actually looking forward to getting my inks organized and swatched out after I'm settled in from the move (we're moving this weekend too LOL!).
OK - so that's my excitement about that little set. Lets just say this whole release is awesome. There's a blog hop going on too - I'll have links to everyone lower down in the post. There's also GIVEAWAY info at the end of it!
I of course had to ink up the new Hocus Pocus set and make a couple of Halloween cards:
I created backgrounds on Distress Watercolor paper using Distress Oxide inks and painting them on with a paintbrush. For the card on the right I painted on Mowed Lawn and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks. For the card on the left I started with Mowed Lawn, Wilted Violet and Carved Pumpkin, then painted over all of it with Black Soot Oxide ink. Once it was dry I splattered it with Copic Opaque White paint to create a galaxy background.
The Hocus Pocus images I stamped onto Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 80lb card stock with GinaK Amalgam ink and coloured them in with Copics and highlighted with my white gelly roll pen. I then used the coordinating wafer dies to cut them all out.
I adhered all the images with either liquid glue or foam dots, and white heat embossed sentiments from the stamp set onto black card stock.
I finished off the insides of the cards with more sentiments from the set and the remaining stamped and coloured images and that was it!
To see how my cards came together check out my video below:
