Paper Piece Witch

Good morning,

Here's my little paper pieced witch. I used Wicked Cool Designer Series Paper (DSP) and mounted a background piece on the Old Olive cardstock. I stamped the witch and cat images from Fangtastic on the Olive cardstock, then mounted it on Basic Black, taking care to cut enough extra black cardstock for the Shimmery Brads (Holiday Mini).

I scored the black piece above the brads to make the entire witch portion hinged.

Then I put an extra piece of olive cardstock inside with the letter for the word BOO. The letters were cut out of black cardstock with my Big Shot die cut machine using the Go Go Boots alphabet.

The witch's orange dress and hat, plus her razzleberry stockings were stamped on other pages of the Wicked Cool DSP and cut out with my snips to paper piece onto the card.

Finally I added a teeny bit of black lace ribbon.

We'll see you tomorrow, I might have one more Halloween card for you ...

Until then ....

Much love and joy,

Batty for your Fangs

Good morning everyone,

It's Halloween card week and here's another one. This card uses Wicked Fun Designer Series Paper, Old Olive, black, Rich Razzleberry Textured and Cajun Craze cardstock. If you look carefully at the DSP those ore the colors that fleck it so I pulled color out that way.

The sketch is obvious. I creeped up my bat from Batty for You stamp set with black jewels (Holiday Mini) in the eyes.

 Part of the little gluey thing came off with one jewel so he looks like his one eye is all matted up or he's crying. I'll have to clip that off, it bothers me.

The ribbons were Dusty Durango Polka Dot (RET) flipped over, black narrow taffeta, razzleberry grosgrain (1/4 inch) and black lace.

The razzleberry circle was punched with the new large  2 1/2 inch circle punch (Holiday Mini catalog).

This little Fangtastic stamp set with the vampire and witch actually belongs to my son, who scrapbooks too. We started it as art class during homeschool and it became so much more. It's a way for him to articulate his feelings and display emotions, huge in a child with disabilities.

That's it for me! See you tomorrow for another project!

Much love and joy,
