Celebrate Halloween

Hi everyone!

We're heading into the second half of our current Dream Factory challenge, and I would like to briefly remind you about it.

Anything related to the 

Day of the Death and/or Halloween

A while ago, I tried out the Blackout technique that I saw on a card on my friend Gundi's blog. 

To save a long explanation, the technique is shown here and here ;)

I tried it three times and I don't think I'll be trying it again, because the technique uses a lot of ink and you need to have suitables embossing folders. I think floral motifs are more suitable than the ones I used. Well, at least I gave it a try!

I thought I wouldn't use them, but lo and behold, I liked one of them for my Halloween card.

I drew a few sugar skulls in different sizes because I don't have any stamps for them. I cut them out, stuck them here and there on the card, then added the embossed Halloween sentiments.

Happy Halloween

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at the Dream Factory

Our movie for this month is:

COCO

Anything related to the 

Day of the Death and/or Halloween

No skulls, no skeletons, no ghosts, and not even well equipped for Halloween in terms of design paper. 

What do you do in cases like this? Well, you do your best! 

Luckily, I at least had a few pumpkins, a spider, a spider web, and a black cat. That's not too bad for a start... lol

I drew the skull with the candle by hand. It turned out that it's not that difficult to draw a skull :))

I colored in the pumpkin and the skull with the candle using alcohol ink markers. I cut them out and stuck them onto a gel print tag that I found in my stash. I also added half a flower, which I stamped onto designer paper and cut out.

The spider, cat, branch, and spider web were stamped directly onto the tag. 

Finally, I stamped the word “ Beware!” and attached a thin cord to the tag.

Hi everyone!

Time for a new challenge at 613 Avenue Create! 

The theme is Anything Goes w/optional twist: "Think Pink".

(create something for breast cancer awareness month)

Pink is the color to wear in October...

A few die-cut letters (AVEC), twice the half flower from Katzelkraft, a few splashes of color here and there, a little stenciling and doodling, and all that in pink! 

I lightly brushed the edges of the card with Picked Raspberry (Distress Oxide), the same color I used for the letters and for stencilling. The half flowers, I colored with aqua markers and alcohol ink markers.

Hope to see you play along with 613 Avenue Create 

Have a nice day!
