Sizzix Ghostly Boo Halloween Card

Good afternoon, I hope you are keeping safe and well,  here in the the UK summer has arrived (well for few days anyway before it turns back to rain).

Is it too early to start thinking about and making for Halloween?  I'm going to say no seeing as I have a Halloween card to share today.



For my card I have used:
Boo is from the Big Frights die set by Tim Holtz for Sizzix cut out on Idea-ology Halloween Deco Sheets.
The little ghost is from the Halloween Toppers die set by Sizzix cut from vellum.

I created my own ghost stencil in Cricut Design Space and cut out on mylar.  I used Simon Hurley Solar Pastes in Overheated, Crocodile Tears and Royal Flush through it.



Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.

See you soon x

Crafty Calendar August Challenge - Hetty Clare Happy Hour Card

 Good morning and I hope you are well.  My post is a day late due to spending yesterday at the festival of quilts.  I sew but I'm not a 'quilter', my sister-in-law was going and had a spare free ticket so I went  with her.  Lots of amazing creations on display.

Can you believe it is August already, this means that we have a new monthly challenge for you over at Crafty Calendar and the theme this month is
'ANYTHING GOES' 


For my card I have used:
Happy Hour digital stamp from Hetty Clare coloured with copics and then the cocktail glass has had a layer of Distress translucent texture paste applied to it.
The DP is from a set called Summer Cocktails from VRDigitalDesign over on Etsy.  I saw this rainbow paper in the set and knew I had to use it.
The background was stencilled using the Tim Holtz stencil THS003 Rays and the Simon Hurley Clear Skies dye ink pad.
The cheers sentiment was cut using my Cricut and I added a few clear dome gems.
