Day 21 of the 31 days of Halloween

 Hello, I'm here with a card for Halloween

Stamp Used:

Four Ravens

I started of making the background by ink smooching a purple and blue distress oxide ink. I then dried it and added some green distress spray. 

Next, I stamped Four Ravens on white cardstock and colored with copic markers. I added some sparkle with sparkle pens to the feathers and the rays of the sun. I then mounted it on black cardstock and then stuck it to the middle of the card base that I made. 
Lastly, I added a saying to the bottom and the card was done.

A flat slim line Halloween shaker

 I'm here with a flat slim line shaker card.

Stamps used: 

Gnome witch with no stars

Pieces of calligraphy 

Fly from the bugz set

Flying birds

I started out with some watercolor paper and distress oxide spays and some distress spays in Halloween colors. I then cut it with a die cut to make it into a slim lime card front. Next I stampedPieces of calligraphy  randomly on the background I also did that with the   Fly from the bugz set and the Flying birds but with this one I cut one of the birds from the background stamp so I could use only one. 

Then I stamped and cut out Gnome witch with no stars and colored her with copic markers. 

To make the flat slim line shaker I took a shaker pocket and covered the front and taped up 3 of the sides of it. Then I added my shaker Halloween mix and some rat confetti that I had. 

Use some red liner tape to tape  Gnome witch with no stars to the front of the shaker pocket after you sealed the last of the pocket and then you then add it to the front of the slim line card base. 

I used red liner tape for that also.

Moonlight and Magic

Hello all I have some Moonlight and Magic for you today.  I have made 3 digital postcards.

Gecko Galz Supplies:
Moonlight Magic
Moonbeams
Scripted ATC
Timeless paper
Frightful Delightful kit
Midnight Magic

 For this one I started out with the Timeless paper and then I added  a image from Moonlight Magic and as I was doing this it gave me a feel of a vintage movie poster. So I added some beads on top and a movie ticket and advert.(well I think it is a advert) Next I added a pen with some ink scribbles and extra stars(because you can never have to many) Then  I added a moon from Frightful Delightful kit and a saying that fit for the piece and lastly I added a glittery border.

 Started off with a sky type background paper. Then I added a image from Moonlight Magic.  I picked one that blended in with the paper. With Moonlight Magic you have so many great choices to pick from. Next I took Scripted ATC and took away the background and just left the words and change the color to a light blue and added here and there. More stars is the next to the top and bottom corners. Then I took a banner and added the words from the Title of the Moonlight Magic to the banner.

 Last one I have done.  This one I wanted it to have a mixed media feel to it. With this one also I got a sky like paper to start. Then I took a image from Moonbeams.  Added my stars and then some circles and dots. I then added a image from Midnight Magic and the saying from Moonbeams.  Lastly I added a crow and feathers to the corner.

Come join the moonlight fun with your make here.

Watchful Raven

Hello all I'm here with a Lost Coast Portal blog challenge. Tweet this is what it is called.

I started out with a A2 size white cardstock and grabbed some of my Distress Oxide inks. I did the smooching technique with the inks.

Next I used the Goth Raven stamp and stamped it out on white cardstock. I stamped the branch 2 more times to give the branch longer area to go off the card.  I colored it in with Copic markers. Then I glued a eye to the raven. Why? Because he sees all the other birds flying around him.

 Next I used the flying birds background stamp.  The stamp is very large. So I cut one of the birds from the corner of the stamp so I could have a single stamp.  You can't even tell it is missing when you stamp the whole background. I used that single stamp and stamped around the Goth Raven. Then I glued the raven to the front and there we have the card I made.

I hope to see what you all come up with this  Tweet This Challenge.

You can join here.

Trying to stay warm

We here got our first staying snow. That means the cold is here to stay. It got me thinking now we have to stay all bundling up to stay warm. I came up with this for Gecko Galz challenge this month.

Raven's Winter

Can you believe it is Dec. 6th already.My idea when I made this it would go well for a  Winter Solstice card.

  Frist off I stamped  raven small right and left on the bottom of my white card panel. There are two sizes of the raven so if you wanted a larger ravens you can do that.

After that I picked out 3 different colors of Distress inks. I picked a blue, purple and a gray. Then I took my small snowflake set and stamped them in different inks all over the panel. Guess what?  Well they have a large snowflake set too. So you have you choice of sizes. Large or small or a mix of both.

Then I distressed the edge of the white panel. Inked the edge of it with the gray ink and set aside.

.

 Next I took a black cardstock and made a top folding card. Grabbed some more of the snowflakes from that set. Can you believe there is 8 different snowflakes in that set. WOW. I stamped them in Versa fine ink and embossed them with white embossing power.

Came back to the panel and colored in the ravens with Copic markers and added a hat to the left raven. Wrapped white and silver bakers twine around the top and added a word token to it. Just to add some sparkle to it I added sliver tinsel to where the word token is.

Added foam tape the added it the black card and done.

 I hope to see what you all are doing for your winter/Holiday cards over at the Portal.
