Witches' Brew

A fairly CAS card using some of my recent Lavinia stamps. 

The card shape was cut with a Studio Light triptych die.  I cut three panels using pale lilac card and blended Adirondack 'Purple Twilight around the edges.  I used Lavinia 'Bubbling Cauldron', 'Magical Mist', 'Hattie' and 'Faba' stamps and added some sparkle with Gelly Roll Stardust pens.  The witch's hair was coloured with a white pastel pencil and I coloured the lamp with yellow PanPastel.

Allsorts Challenge ~ Magical, Myths and Legends

There is a new theme of  'Magical, Myths and Legends', chosen by Ellie, for the Allsorts Challenge this week.  As always there is also the Anything Goes option.

I made the background with Adirondack 'Denim' ink and a Lavina Flower Petals stencil, masking off the moon with a circle of card.  I used used Lavinia stamps Arial (Small), Bats, Leaf Creeper, Oak Leaf Branch, Wallace Family, Dandelions, stamped with Versafine Clair 'Nocture', to create my magical scene.  I added some sparkle to the fairy's wings with a Wink of Stella clear glitter brush and some holographic glitter coming from the fairy's wand.

80th Birthday

A masculine card today for a friend who celebrated his 80th Birthday recently.  I love this image and sentiment and I used it on another card last month HERE.

The card fold was made with Made To Surprise 'Side Panel Showstopper' dies.  The digi stamp and sentiment are from Beccy's Place 'You're A Hoot' set.  I coloured the image with Promarkers.  There is a pre-coloured version, but I didn't have any patterned paper to match the shade of brown.  The patterned paper is from Anna Marie Designs.  I finished of my card with numbers, using dies from The Works.

The card folds flat for posting.

Allsorts Challenge ~ Falling Leaves

This is my second post today.  Please scroll down to see my Crafty Calendar DT card.

A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Lynn has chosen the theme of 'Falling Leaves'.

A quick card today as the green card had the white panel already attached.  I made it a while ago for a project I never got round making, so it's just been sat in my box of unfinished projects.  I used a Martha Stewart 'Maple Leaf' border punch down the side of the white panel and added a three larger punched maple leaves.   To finish my card for the Allsorts Challenge, I stamped a Lavinia Stamps 'Autumn Fall' image with Versafine Clair 'Nocturne' onto a Memory Box 'Stitched Circle Layers' die cut and die cut a larger black circle for the mat. The green card was layered on a black mat and attached to the card blank.

Prizes for the Allsorts Challenge are from AALL and Create.
