Hey Everyone! How was your weekend? I hope it was refreshing. Mine wasn't too shabby, but an extra two days would've been nice! But, I did get a chance to party with some friends, hang out with my sister, shopped at IKEA, and even crafted a bit! What more could I ask for...really?!
Today, I have {another} Halloween card to share with you. I'm surprising myself over my desire to create for Halloween. This card used a sketch I created for Skipping Stones Design (see below). I used their Boo stamp set for the witch hats and sentiment, along with some Graphic 45 patterns! Here's how I made the card.
Instructions
- Trim patterned paper to about 4" x 5.25", then add twine decorative trim.
- Tie saddle stitch ribbon around patterned paper into a bow.
- Stamp hats on purple cardstock, then stamp on rust cardstock. Trim hat border from rust cardstock and paper piece on purple hats.
- Cut out hats and string on twine with mini clothespins. (I painted a few clothespins before this project with white acrylic paint.)
- Stamp sentiment on olive cardstock strip and adhere.
- Adhere paper to an A2 card base.
- Add zig zag stitching randomly so it looks like sutures!
Stamps :: Skipping Stones Design - boo
Ink :: Tsukinkeo - memento black
Cardstock :: Papertrey Ink - linen, ripe avocado, terracotta tile; Stampin' Up! - eggplant
Patterned Paper :: Graphic 45 - hallowe'en in wonderland (square hare)
Embellishments :: May Arts - twine; Crafts Supply - mini clothespins; Papertrey Ink - terracotta tile saddle stitch ribbon; Offray - green twine trim
So, here's the sketch I made! It's sort of strange, but you never know what you can come up with until you try! If you have a banner you want to create, it's perfect to use, so give it a try and link it up on SSD's blog! If you find you're loving their stamps, some are up for grabs on Embellishes Background Stamping Color Challenge too!
This is my last sketch for SSD. I had fun creating the sketches both creatively and digitally! Thanks for having me again Skipping Stones!You all take care and as always, thanks so much for showing me some love and stopping by!
