Hello my crafty friends! Hope all is well and had a great weekend. I wanted to share some more witch’s cards I finished this last weekend. This time I decided to make some witch’s flying by the moon.

Her eyes were dark.
Watching And Waiting
I love the way these two cards came out.
The background was done with distress oxide twisted citron, mowed lawn and rustic wilderness. Moon was blended with squeezed lemonade and mustard seed. Plus I used distress spritz twisted citron and fossilized amber splashed it on the moon and the background
.
I used Tim Holtz thinlits called Moonliight #666386 and Spellbinders witch on broom die set. Cut her out with 110 black glitter card stock and bats.

Thank you for checking out more of my witch’s that I created. Hamlet me know what you think and please have a wonderful evening

Hello my crafty friends! I wanted to share with you all on some of the cards I have been creating this last weekend.

Once a month I meet with these incredible crafty lady’s. They all have different styles, techniques and they make beautiful cards. These group of ladies always inspire me to create more cards and use different techniques. I feel very lucky to hang out with all theses creative ladies.

I started my backgrounds about a week before I met with these ladies, then I was working on my witches and all my embellishments for the front of the cards. I was so happy that I got to them this last weekend. So now I want to share them with you guys.

Halloween cards!
Dorothy likes anything spooky
Witch. By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes:
What Happened That Night
I used Tim Holtz new Thinlits call Vault Wicked #666683. The witch’s, cats, rats, bats and birds were cut out of 110 black glitter card stock.
The broom was cut out of 110 white card stock and color with Altenew Artist Marker’s Y823 paper bag, Y762 Expresso and y316 Honey Drizzie.
The pumpkin was done with Copic markers YR04, YR68 and E99.
Background I blended together are Tim Holtz distress Qxide seedless preserves, , villainous potion and black soot. Also took his new distress spritz wilted violet and splash it on my background and it gave a beautiful shimmer look.

Please let me know if you like my cards and a comment on what you think about the cards. I hope you try these techniques with what ever you have in your stash. Thank you for checking out my website. Have a great day everyone.

Halloween (making backgrounds for my cards)

Hi crafty friends! Today I decided to work on some Halloween background for my cards. I think it’s important to see what you’re gonna use as your centerpiece on your card before creating your background. Later on as I put everything together later, I’ll show you the finished cards for Halloween. But for right now I’m only working on backgrounds for my Halloween cards.

The background in the middle I used Tim Holtz distress oxide seedless, preserve, and black soot. I blended the colors together but first I used Seedless preserves and cover 110 white card stock. And then took black soot and blend all around the edges and sides of my card stock. I took tim holtz new distress spritz and splatter the background. Once dry, it gave it a shimmery look.

On the two at the end, I took distress oxide black soot and hickory smoke, which are also tim holtz products and covered a white card stock.

Here are just some of the pieces I’m using for these two cards. This is not all of them so when I was making my background, I was going by the witch and the frame die. I purchased from La-LaLand Crafts and cut it out with 110 white card stock, then color it with Altenew artist markers R206 crimson and R218 vineyard berry. Also took Tim Holtz distress oxide black soot and blended the outside of the frame. 
Here are the two products used. Once I’m done I will post the finished cards. Thank you for checking out my website and I hope you’ll try these background techniques yourself with anything you have in your stash. Have a wonderful day and stay tuned for the finished products.
