 Hello Everyone! Welcome back for Day 4 of my Halloween Series! Now we know Tim Holtz, Stampers Anonymous had to be part of this right? The stamp set I chose is called Pumpkin Heads... and I think they are great! Happy, Funny, Evil and even confused pumpkins are ready for any card!  I used Archival Ink in Potting Soil to stamp and Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors to color my images (see List below). Paper I chose is Canson XL Water Color, which is usually my go to when water coloring.  What is great with these images is they are already show you were your shading should go, so my darker colors were used there... I tries to make each pumpkin different in color to help make them stand out. Here is a list of the water colors I used for this project! Hero Arts Liquid Water Colors Strawberry Moss Art Print Brown Dandelion Mulled Wine Cocoa Purple Indigo Orange Black Velvet Silver Brush – Size 4 See each craft step by clicking on the video below!

 Hello Everyone! Welcome back for Day 3 of my Halloween Series for 2018! We are going to make a tag today... I love tags, and if you have been following me you have heard me say this many times... LOL... Tags are so flexible in our paper-crafting and in our home decor! So making a tag is like making a two-fer... For this project I am featuring a stamp set by Picket Fences Studios and the Stampers Anonymous #8 Chipboard Tags...  I started my layers with an acrylic pain in a deep red. The paints I used are from Dick Blick Studio and come in many colors... Once that was dry we added a pattern paper from the America Crafts Spooky Boo 6 x 6 Paper Pad, but I added die cut claws to it. This way the red paint showed through!  Then stamped my image onto a piece of Bristol Card Stock using my versafine ink and then heat embossed with clear powder.. Used mu Distress Oxides to add some texture and dimension... Here is a list of just some of the products I used for this project! Picket Fence Studios - Yes, I do drive stick!

Always Remember... Be Inspired, Be Creative, ENJOY and SHARE what you create today! ~ Desiree  Hello Everyone! Welcome back for Day 2 of my Halloween Series for 2018! Today, we are going to combine two simple techniques... oxide blending and die cutting. Using Bristol card stock I created two blended panels. One was for my night sky and the other created the background to the Haunted House!  But where to place the sentiment? On the inside of course! Always remember, paper has two side and when we have a card base the side are almost endless! LOL So use up those extra die cut pieces!
