Are you ready for Halloween? continued...

Almost forgot to post the last 2 Halloween cards...

The card below was inspired by Pinterest...

Reminder that if you use the new ShinHam markers, then stamp in either the Archival Black or the Memento Tuxedo Black.  Let them dry before starting to color!  You can also use your water brush and your CTMH Exclusive Ink to color, or use your water color pencils!

Are you ready for Halloween?!?

Well, I promised to have something Halloweenish on the blog by Wednesday evening... though I am not real happy with the cards so far, I will post what I have!

The top card uses Purple Glitter Gems, Thistle Diagonal Striped Ribbon, Scaredy Cat paper pack, Black and Colonial White card stock, D1616 Have a Happy Day (can you spot the stamp?!?), C1509 Magic Potions, and B1429 Eek & Shriek, Black, Suslet, and Thistle Exclusive Inks.

The bottom card is to practice using masks.  In addition to boo, I have spooky and some negative strips that can be used to showcase "critters".  The bat is from B1453 Frightfully Fun.  There is also a ghost, a mummy, a pumpkin and a skull you could use, along with some cute Halloween sayings. The bat is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, and colored with ShinHan markers (peony purple and  pastel green).  Paper is from the Scaredy Cat paper packet.

 I hope to have one more card using D1605 Halloween Greetings.  We will see!

As always, please bring your paper cutter, scissors, and adhesive.  If you bring any of your own inks or markers, please be sure they are marked in some way!

Seminole patchwork...

I was born and raised in South Florida.  The Seminole Tribe of South Florida is famous for their colorful patchwork.  I have translated a couple of the patterns to paper, and that is what we will be playing with this week.

This card uses the seaside paper pack, along with sorbet, lagoon and desert sand card stock.  Stamping is done in chocolate and desert sand CTMH exclusive inks.  Stamp sets used:  S1409 Family is Forever (September stamp of the month) and C1533 Fabulous You.  I also used the CTMH border punch.  I did a second pattern of Seminole patchwork.

Here are 2 cards I made some time ago using some Seminole patchwork patterns.

If we have time, we will also make a Halloween card!

Happy stamping!
