HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I'm here with another Halloween flip card to share today, created with the new Thinlits Label Die. These are so much fun!
Here is a couple projects we did at this months Hostess Club meeting. The first project is a spinner card...sorry about the blurry photo. Batty for you is the perfect set to make a spinner card I think! I found great instructions on how to make a spinner card on my favorite stamping website.
Stamps: Batty for You, Everyday Flexible Phrases, Canvas background, Spooky Skyline & Speckled jumbo wheels
Ink: Lovely Lilac, Gable Green, Black Stazon & Basic black ink cartridge
Card stock: Lovely Lilac, Gable Green, Only Orange & Basic Black
Accessories: Vintage Brads, Stampin' dimensionals, Crop-A-Dile, 1-3/8", 1-1/4" & 1" cirlce punches, Photo Corner & Word Window punches
The next project we did was this cute little Halloween decoration that can be hung from a door knob, peg or any where else you can think of. This is made from 4" coasters.
The stars and fog coming from cauldron were stamped on the Perfect Plum card stock with Black Stazon ink and then painting them with the Aqua Painter filled with bleach. This fun technique turns dark card stock very light and allows you to then add color with pencils or markers. In this case water color pencils and a bit of reinker were used to color in all the stars and the fog. To highlight the fog even more, add some highlights using a white gel pen.

Do you love Halloween and Autumn themed stamp sets as much as I do? Well...I have some good news for you then! I just found out that there will be a special in September where if you spend $30 on regular priced merchandise, you can purchase one of six fall themed sets at 30 percent off! One of the choices is the Haunting Halloween set shown here. This is such a cute set! I've been having fun coloring the images. During the month of September, this set could be yours for only $13.27!
This is another card I created with this set. I just love the little frog...and of course the cat on the broom! I colored him to look like my kitty. I used my inks pooled in the lid of my ink pads to color these images. To get the look of a spooky night time sky I used Blue Bayou ink to color the background, then after it was dry, I came back and added some shading with my black pastels.
On the top sample, I stamped the stars in black and used a little bleach in my aqua painter to bleach out the Basic Grey card stock. Then I went back and water colored the stars with Pumpkin Pie & Summer Sun ink. I like the way it turned out, but I think I need to come up with something a lot simpler for this years Halloween party invitations...can't picture myself creating 40+ of those!
