For this card I have used:

A selection of images from the Stampers Anonymous CMS468 Tim Holtz Tiny Frights stamp set.  Stamped with Versamark ink onto black card and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Crafty Calendar October Challenge - Halloween Grave Yard Card

Good afternoon.  I hope you are safe and well.  A bit late posting today due working this morning and I then had an appointment to get my Covid autumn booster jab and when I get back home, I realised I had forgot to schedule my post.

We are now in October and the weather has started to turn colder.  After going on holiday and having hot weather in Paris and at Disneyland at the start of the month I have definitely noticed the change in temperature since I got back.  I had resisted switching on my heating but when I was sitting at my desk working and started to contemplate whether to get a blanket and fill a hot water bottle, I decided it was time to switch the heating on.

Today is the first Saturday in October so over at Crafty Calendar we have a new challenge and the theme this month is:

HALLOWEEN

For my card I have used:

Grave and Bone Yard Scene digital stamp from Oddball Art.  The graveyard and bones scene image has been coloured with copics.

For the sky I have used one of the Stampers Anonymous Layering Moon Masks by Tim Holtz and blended distress oxide inks over it in Black Soot, Villainous Potion and Lucky Clover.

The bats are from the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz stamp set CMS451 The Scarecrow embossed in black.

The sentiment is from the Sizzix Bold Text Halloween die set by Tim Holtz.

Sizzix Pumpkinhead Halloween Decorations

Good morning,  I hope you are safe and well.  I have a couple of Halloween projects to share today.

I decided to have a go at a couple of spooky decorations using the Tim Holtz Pumpkinhead die from Sizzix.

For the first project I used Pumpkinhead from Sizzix but swapped his head for a Jack Skellington one.  

I painstaking drew all of the white lines on  his suit and added a bat for his tie.

The background is made using distress spray stains over the moon mask from Tim Holtz and then some light sprays of the new distress mica stains for a little sparkle.

The lamp post is a cut file on Cricut Design space cut from black card and with a little bit of gilding wax added.

The pumpkins are Putka Pods that I have painted to look like pumpkins.

The gravestone is from the Sizzix Mr Bones die set.

I'm quite pleased with my first attempt at creating a stone effect.

I used:

Idea-ology vignette crypt box.

Distress grit paste

Distress paints in Pumice Stone, Black Soot and Picket Fence

Distress crayons

For my second project I used Pumpkinhead but kept his head this time.  The colours I used are to match my Pumpkin King decoration.  Instead of a stone effect I covered the crypt box with paper that I had embossed and sanded.
