I didn't want to make a Halloween card its not something we send to each other here in the UK although they are fun to make. As soon as I saw the Silhouette Flowers from Paper Smooches I knew I was going to use them. At the time I hadn't worked out how.
In the end I got out the Oxides and used my favourite technique since its easy to do. I stamp a craft Sheet with the inkpad and mist some water and smooch the cardstock in the ink. I made 3 different colourways and then used dies to cut them out. I then blended ink in places where the initial ink smooching missed or to bring out more colour, for example the purple flowers.
I love those dragonflies couldn't believe my luck when I saw them in the die set. I decided to cut out the word Autumn with Paper Smooches Sassy Letters well I thought it was Doodlebug Booville but then I worked it out it wasn't so it could be I Love Family by Echo Park both are out of stock now they weren't when I made the card. To be honest as long as its an Autumn orange or yellow any make would do.
To finish I added Birthday Wishes using Simon Says Stamp Best Hugs.

ReplyDeleteIt's lovely Debby, the dragonflies are perfect and the colours are so pretty. Hope you are having a nice birthday x
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you've used, Debby. The purple flowers remind me of the Widows Tears that are still blooming in my garden and are so pretty amongst all the other flowers that have come to seed. This card is so pretty with the wonderful layout.
