If you’re looking for a subtle coloring medium I really recommend chalks. Also called pastels they are easy to work with and give a soft look to your stamped and colored images. I used them for this cute Halloween Scene card made with stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird. Visit my Youtube channel to watch this video to learn some tips on working with chalks or check it out down below.

I used the cute new Tabitha stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird and dies from Darice with Water-Reactive Ink pads from Spectrum Noir to create a cute Crystal Ball card for Halloween.

I used an adorable witch stamp from Daisy Church and some liquid masking fluid to create a fun Halloween card. This technique is perfect to use with digital stamps to add a background to a one layer card.

The new Cauldron Bubble stamp set is my favorite from the new Stampin’ Up 2018 Holiday catalog. Isn’t the witch and her cat so cute?

Happy Birthday Harry Potter! I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and was so excited when my husband and I were able to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in FL. We’ve actually been twice now and want to go back 🙂 I’ve made a scrapbook of our first trip and filmed a video of the pages, click here to check it out.

I love to incorporate stamping with my mixed media collages. Here’s some more info on how I made these fun Halloween wall decorations.
Using a vintage BINGO card as a base I stamped tiny stars all over in black ink. I made a copy of a vintage photo and tinted the girls clothes with alcohol markers, added witch hat brads to their heads and also some vintage book text. I layered this onto black cardstock trimmed with deckle edge scissors and adhered it to my bingo card. For the medallion I layered a plain punched circle from yellow cardstock onto a scalloped circle from black cardstock and on top of that I adhered a black cat which I stamped onto white cardstock, embossed using black embossing powder and cut out. To the top corners of the bingo card I added some large eyelets and tied some ribbon to hang it from.
For this card I did similar treatments on the photo, card and hanger but instead of the medallion I added some triangles cut from purple and yellow cardstocks and added stamped letters to each flag to spell out “BOO!”.
Both of these (and a few other Halloween themed collages) are currently available here in my Etsy shop.
Aren’t these black kitties adorable?! They look like they are such good helpers for their witches and wizards!
I made these two ACEO/ Artist Trading cards (3 1/2″ x 2 1/2″)using stamps from C.C. Designs. I stamped each kitty onto white cardstock with Memento Black ink and use Spectrum Noir markers to color them. It’s so easy to add shadowing, shading and depth with these markers! I love them! I’m not sure if you can tell but I also added touches of glitter using a Stardust Gell Roll, to the potion bottles and the hat band. I then cut each image out and mounted them using foam tape onto an orange harlequin pattern paper. Onto the pattern papers I stamped some fun text and a spider web or stars. Then mounted the pattern paper onto cardstock. I think they turned out so cute! These cards are currently available in my Etsy shop.
I’ve entered these in the C C Designs Monthly challenge.
