Cheerleader Ellie from Paper Nest Dolls Birthday Card

 Good morning to you.  I hope you are safe and well.  Not a Halloween card.....Encouraged by the Halloween stencil I created in Cricut Design Space (card was posted a couple of weeks ago - Halloween ghost stencil) I set myself the task of creating a confetti/ticker tape stencil but this time not just a one stencil, I wanted it to be a layering stencil.  I ended up creating a four layer stencil and I don't think it turned out too badly.


For this card I have used:
  • A four layer confetti/ticker tape stencil created using Cricut Design Space,  Each layer was cut out of Mylar and then I ink blended through them onto white card.  I have used a different ink colour for each stencil layer and I think it worked out okay.
  • The digi stamp is Cheerleader Ellie from Paper Nest Dolls coloured with copics.

Black and White Stampers Anonymous Tiny Frights Halloween Card

Good morning, I hope you are keeping safe and well.  I have a card to share today and as you can see I'm still in Halloween card mode at the moment, I really need to move to Christmas card mode soon.....


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.
I was going to colour the images with pencils but I liked the black and white effect so I decided to leave them like that.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and just a few white pearls to finish
