There's Magic in the Air!


I'm back with another G45 Halloween card!  I absolutely LOVE this paper!  This particular print had such a lovely sunset glow that I could not resist pulling out some pastel card stock for an elegant Halloween card that requires very little stamping.


The floral cluster includes a dark purple blossom that I edged with black Wink of Stella, layered with shreds of cheesecloth, a beautiful variegated silk ribbon that matches perfectly, a little dotted Swiss (inspired by the paper's dotted border), and a stretched and torn bit of the purple netting that shallots come in!  It looks like point d'esprit lace from a vintage hat!


For the inside I used a sheet of Ink Drops Vivid designer paper. With those swirling colors and splashes of gold (and also of white, that I added inside and out with diluted acrylic paint), it looks magical to me and fits in well with the "Magic in the Air" theme.

Christmas Candy

I am so in love with this beautiful Ink Drops Candy designer paper from Craft Consortium!  This particular print made me think of a sparkling Christmas tree, so I decided to hang a gold ornament on it.


The ornament was stamped with Delicata gold ink and embossed with gold embossing powder, die cut, and then colored with pink and gold Copic markers.  


The inside is simple, with a verse stamped in sparkling gold ink.

G45 Halloween Slimline

 


Hello friends!  If you've been around for a while, then you already know that I absolutely adore making Halloween cards!  The colors are so much fun to work with!  


It's hard to see in the photo, but this designer paper has a just a hint of purple so I decided to add a few purple accents.  I added black Wink of Stella to the edges of the lilac flower petals to make a floral embellishment that has black twill ribbon, shreds of cheesecloth, and purple jute string.  Look closely and you'll also see some purple "netting."  I have had some of that purple plastic mesh (the kind that shallots come in!) stashed for a while, and this was the perfect occasion to use it.  It looks really cool if you stretch and tear it!


This paper has lots of fun designs that you can use as accents and borders, so I added one of those to the inside.

Here's a closer look.  This sentiment is from one of our All Occasions sentiment sets.
