Freshly Made Sketches #105 & Simon Says Stamp!

So I still seem to be hooked on the little flying witch in Art Impressions' Air-Hag set!  This time I coloured her on white cardstock, then used a circle die to cut her out, leaving the little cat's head peeking out.  I sponged the edges of the circle in Creme Brulee ink to give it the appearance of being the moon, and then pop dotted her up.  My favourite part of the card is the Spring Iris cardstock squares that are behind her - they look a little like a twilight sky, and give the card a vaguely eerie look!  I stamped one of the little bats on the background, and added a branch die cut as a creepy tree.  I've used the lovely Freshly Made Sketch from this week as well.  *This week Art Impressions is featured on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge blog (here) there are two pretty fabulous prizes being given, so head on over to check them out:

Here's a close up of my witch:

Halloween Window Card

It's my Tuesday post on the Art Impressions blog today:

I don't usually make a lot of Halloween cards... so I am having a blast colouring Art Impressions' Air-Hag set (Sku#4309), and I knew that she would be perfect to be used in a card where you'd be looking out the window to see her flying by...

I used the die to cut black windows for the both the outside and inside of the card, to finish it off cleanly, and then hand cut through all the layers to make the opening before gluing the window frames on:

I was inspired by the softer greys/rusty oranges used by fellow design team member Kerry last week (see her card here!)  Here's a close-up of my version:

You still have one more day to play along with our "Oh My Chickens!" challenge, and you just might get some free goodies if you go shopping on the Art Impressions website:

 

Happy stamping everyone!

 

 

 



Standard Broom

 

 It's my Tuesday Art Impressions post, so I am sharing a card using the just-released Air-Hag Set (sku#4309)

The sentiment says "Standard Broom equipped with Air-hag"!

This is a very CAS card for me!  But it looks deceptively simple... there is a wee bit of colouring involved, and some serious fussy-cutting!  I started off by making myself a circle template, and sponging the Creme Brulee ink around the edges:

Then I added a tree branch die cut, that I rotated 90 degrees to look like a creepy tree:

 

After colouring & cutting the witch and two little bats, I pop dotted them and adhered to the base:

Here are the Copics that I used (plus YR13/15/18):
