PFS A Spooky Flight Kit

Picket Fence Studios (this and following links are affiliate links) is releasing a frighteningly fun kit today! It is called A Spooky Flight and is all about Halloween.

I’ve finally played around with alcohol inks for this card! There are two green colours included and I’ve added a dash of yellow to go with. I absolutely love the spooky butterflies, so had to use them right away!

Here is a side on view of the card as well.

PFS Witchy Flying

As I wrote in the other post: I’ve had fun playing with inks and stencils for the new Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links). Here I’ve used the same purple inks to ink blend the background, as I really liked how it turned out for the other card! I’ve added some water splatter this time, though. I did make sure I had a white border around it this time.

First I covered up the moon to keep the back of it nice and white before using a pale ink to colour in the shadows of it using the Haunted Moon blending stencil. Then I used the Flying Witch A2 stencil, but masked out the other parts to only use the witch itself. And then I selected a few of the bats from the Bat Crazy 6×8 stencil and masked out the surrounding ones to make the bats look like singles. I love that they have different shapes.

For the sentiment I used the alphabet dies from the older Double Stitched Rectangle Dies set. I cut it out a few times and then stacked them to give them some dimension before gluing them on in a rather wonky way. Then I wrote in the other words to go with before added a few stars from the Pumpkin Patch sequin mix at the end.

A side on view that shows the word spooky raised from the paper so they kind of look like they are floating.

And then a close up photo as well.

PFS Spooky Halloween release

Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links) is out with one massive release. It’s very spooky and autumn themed, and it also has quite a few florals. Isn’t that just perfect? I’ve actually chosen to play with stencils, die cuts and colours for my release cards this month. First I will show you this spooky house card and tomorrow you will also find a witch card on the blog!

I started by ink blending the background by covering the area for the moon so it would have any ink on it. I ink blended straight onto the card base and made sure it covered well all the way to the edges. Then I used the Haunted Moon blending stencil and a pale coloured ink to make the moon. Later I die cut the A2 Ghost House cover plate die a few times and glued them together for dimension. Before gluing the top layer I embossed the Boo! sentiment. The sentiment is from the Ghosts of Halloween Past set. A few pretty purple sequins from the I’m Alive embellishment jar finished off the card.

Here is a side-on view of the card. You can see the house is raised from the background. That is because I have cut it out three times and glued them together.

And here you can see a more detailed photo.

Mo’s my Boo

I’m back with another card for Mo’s Digital Pencil’s design team this week because I really wanted to make a Halloween card this year using this adorable image. It is called My Boo. I decided to cut off the lower part of the stamp and draw a border around the image this time. A matching card base, some enamel dots and a sentiment from La-La Land Crafts finished off the look.

Polkadoodles witch

It’s time for another Polkadoodles card! I used Winnie Wednesday Witch and decided to make a birthday card from it. We don’t tend to make a big deal of Halloween here, even if it’s a little bigger every year, so Halloween cards is something I don’t make many of. To have a fitting sentiment for this card, I decided to just write one up and print it. I really wanted a wicked one!

What I do enjoy though, however, is to carve pumpkins and due to various restrictions and unfortunate circumstances due to the current pandemic I ended up carving three of them this year. You can see the photos of them on my Instagram account!
