Wicked Wednesday: Starry Night Kitty

When I first saw the latest group of In Colors I couldn't wait to see the Halloween DSP! I thought for sure Tangelo Twist & Blackberry Bliss were going to be the main colors ...but unfortunately I was wrong. Oh well...with my ink & cardstock I can create my Halloween projects in any colors I would like...and I like me some purple!

I stamped these images from the Bite Me stamp set in Tuxedo Black onto Whisper White and then sponged on some Tangelo Twist & Blackberry Bliss. I love the Color Me Autumn Washi Tape in Blackberry Bliss...it adds a fun splash of pattern below the image. The Lucky Stars Embossing Folder adds the perfect background texture for this spooky card.

Thanks for visiting!

Wicked Wednesday - Monsters of Rock

Slash, Rob Zombie & Alice Cooper were all at our Halloween party in 2011...and here's the scrapbook page to prove it!

I used the Witches' Brew DSP from the Holiday Catalog to easily create this rockin' layout. The title was cut from Summer Starfruit card stock using the Typeset Bigz Alphabet and then I stamped it with the splotch stamp from the new photopolymer set Bite Me.

The black rhinestones swirls were available through SU! a few years back but are now retired. I'm glad I still have some of these in my stash as they worked out well on this page. I colored two large clear rhinestones orange using my sharpie markers for the skulls eyes. I also trimmed carefully around the top of the skull so my photo slid behind it.

Hope your day rocks!

Wicked Wednesday: Witches' Boo Banner

I like to decorate my mantel and hearth for the holidays so I thought I needed a spooky banner to go with my Halloween decor.

I used Witches' Brew DSP along with the Toil & Trouble stamp set. Both of these items along with lots of other spooktacular items can be found in the 2013 Holiday Catalog. Here's a closer look at the left side of my banner.

and a closer look of the right...

For some sparkle I used Silver Glimmer Paper, Silver Dazzling Details and colored Rhinestones. The large word collage image from Toil & Trouble was embossed with orange embossing powder onto the Black Card stock and then cut out with the Apothecary Accents Framelits. 

The Perfect Pennants Bigz Die made cutting the other base pieces so simple it's scary!

Wicked Wednesday Witches' Brew Shadowbox

I just love Halloween! During the month of October I thought it would be fun to feature a special Halloween project each Wednesday. So, for my first Wicked Wednesday post here's a shadowbox I created using the Witches' Brew products from the Holiday Catalog. The photo is my husband and I as rockers Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie at our Halloween party a couple years ago.

Unfortunately it's really hard to see all the dimension and layers from these photos. The frame doesn't stay together properly without the glass in place so I also had to deal with the glare, when trying to photograph this project. So despite my best effort, the pictures don't really do it justice.

I love how the Witches' Brew Washi Tape fit perfectly on the outside of the frame. It was pretty easy to line up the pattern and cut a mitered corner, with exception to the last corner...so I stamped the little skull embellishment to conceal the odd corner on the top right.

The Witches' Brew DSP made this project so easy! The blackboard style hand-doodled looking sheet was the perfect frame for my photo. All I had to do was cut it to size and embellish. I carefully cut around the top spider web with my x-acto knife so I could slide my matted photo under it. Here's a closer look...

The cute little pennants show some of the other fun patterns in the Witches' Brew pack of DSP. Here's a closer look at the bottom...

I stamped the crow from the Toil &Trouble set and carefully cut it out to perch on the old boards. Lots of orange colored rhinestones finish off this project. The ones inside the skulls eyes actually look like they are glowing! Here's a look at the finished piece sitting on my mantle all decorated for Halloween...
