Please help me (Halloween)

Oh no, the little fox got stuck in a large spider web (I can't even think about it....). 
This card is similar to the one I made a while back. So if you want to know how i created the background, just take a look at this post. 


The little fox is from a stamp set by Mama Elephant and I stamped him and a few bugs from Lawn Fawn with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on some Neenah cardstock. I colored my images with Spectrum Noir markesr (fox: OR1, OR2, OR3 + Blender, IG1, IG2 + FS2, FS3; bee: Blender, TB1, TB2 + CT1, CT3, fly: Blender, TB1, TB3 + IG6, IG8).


I adhered the fox with foam tape and the bugs with my ATG gun on the spider web background. To give the card a little more details, I used the tiny spider from the Booyah stamp set and stamped it wiht Memento Tuxedo Black on the background and the fox.

Glückwunsch Bokeh

Today I show you a card that I made for Priscilla  (@craftybasteln) who won my Instagram giveaway. I really wanted to try out the Let's Bokeh set from Lawn Fawn. I think it really create a nice effect!


First, I stamped the little racoon from the Happy Party Animal set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock as well as the present and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers (raccoon: IG1, IG2, IG4, IG6, IG8, IG10; present: CT1, CT3 + CR10, DR2 + FS2, FS3).
I then chose a nice magenta colored cardstock, cut out a circle on one side and stamped it with the circle stamps and Yeti pigment ink from Lawn Fawn. I used first, second, and third generation stamping.


I stamped the sentiment (Create A Smile) on a vellum circle with VersaMark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. To give the cut out circle a nice background, I used a piece of watercolor cardstock and distressed it with Tumbled Glass and a blending tool and placed it behind the front panel. To finish off the card, I adhered the raccoon with 3D foam.

Watercolor flowers 2 (Create A Smile)

Today I am going to show you the second card I made out of the floral watercolor panel. If you want to now how I created the panel, just click here and you will be redirected to the first card I made. I will also link it up to the November Guest Design Search by Create A Smile. Oh god, I am completely spamming them...
For this second card, I used the center piece and placed it on the top of a white cardbase. I also made two gold strips using the Gold Satin Pearl embossing powder by WOW and placed them at the top and bottom of the floral panel.


This time, I didn't want to include dimension on the floral panel but on the piece that has the sentiment on it. I used white cardstock and stamped the sentiment "herzlichen Glückwunsch" (Congratulations) with Archival Jet Black ink in the center of the panel and adhered it to the cardbase using white fun foam.

Happy Halloween (Create A Smile)

Today I made another card for the Create A Smile November Guest Designer Call. And I created my first ever Halloween card which was really fun! And as you can see, Mr. Octopus dressed up as spider for Halloween :)
To start off, I found a free SVG file for the spider web at the new SVG store and cut it out of stencil material to use with my Distress inks. I used Chipped Sapphire, Dusty Concord, and Seedless Preserves as well as my blending tool to create a "spooky" background. I sprayed some water on top of it after the blending was done which created a really nice effect. 



For the "spider", I stamped the octopus from the stamp set "Underwater Love" by Create A Smile with Memento Tuxedo Black ink as well as the little pumpkin treat bags and the witch hat from the "Holiday Party Animal" set by Lawn Fawn. I thought it would be funny to give him a ton of treat bags since he as so many arms/legs.
I colored my images with Spectrum Noir markers and colored the octopus with IG6, IG8, and IG10. For the treat bags I use OR1, OR2, OR3, and CR11 on the inside. Because I colored over the little tooth of the pumpkin I used a white gel pen to color it white again. To give them a bit of sparkle I've put some Wink of Stella on top of them. For the witch hat I used IG6 and IG8 as well as BP4 and BP7. To make to octopus more spidery, I used my Memento Dual-Tip marker to draw some fur on his head and arms. Using liquid glue, I adhered the treat bags to all arms/legs of the octopus/spider as well as the little hat.


I used the sentiment "Happy Halloween" from another Lawn Fawn stamp set called "Booyah" and embossed it with white embossing powder by WOW on a piece of black cardstock. 
To finish off the card, I adhered the spider web panel to a piece of dark gray cardstock which was a bit bigger than the front panel. I also adhered to sentiment strip along with my ATG gun and adhered everything to a cardbase. Lastly, I used 3D foam squares to attach the octopus/spider on top of the spider web.
