Elegant Halloween Card: Day 14 of 31 Days

I decided to change things up a bit. Less macabre, more elegant. I had an image from Sassy Studios that I thought would be just perfect for Halloween. Hopefully, you’ll agree!

I love her dress. It’s so pretty! I colored her in with my colored pencils, and added her to an oval made from Prima cardstock. I added a few orange stars that I have had laying around for just a touch of magick!

If my drawing skills were up to snuff, I would have drawn a mask on her…but after all the time I spent coloring her, I sure as heck wasn’t about to ruin her!

I have some beautiful black cardstock from The Paper Company that looks like taffeta. So I knew that would be perfect for this card. I added the pretty (yet teeny bit spooky) ribbon from Michaels, and a single purple rhinestone.

As much as I love the gore and creep factor of Halloween, I also love to make it beautiful. And this belle of the ball sure does! Please be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Blogs…posted on my sidebar. Have an inspiring day!!!

love the way you have coloured her. I know I wouldn't have attempted adding to her. That paper and ribbon are just the right things to bring some beauty to the day. Thank you

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
