The PaperCrafts Magazine blog is Challenging readers to use one of their Simple Sentiments for a quick & easy card design. I can't believe I never realized they had all of these fun free downloads.
I used a Halloween sentiment from the September/October 2010 downloads for my card. I started by cutting it from the sentiment sheet in PhotoShop Elements and erasing the white background. Next I layered it over some beautiful digital paper from Vinnie Pearce that I colorized a spooky purple.
After printing it out, I stamped the bats from Artistic Outpost's Haunted Halloween multiple times around the edge of the card (love that versatile image). I layered it to my card base & then decided to add a few sprays of Old Lace Glimmer Mist for a spooky sparkle. I wasn't thinking about how the Mist would interact with the printed digital paper … but it turned out to be one of those happy accidents where I loved the aged water-damaged sort of effect it gives.
looks great Stef! the orange is really going well with blue/purple.
your happy accident looks great here… we could do this to make a moon… 🙂
The mist looks wonderful on your digital background! Great spooky Halloween card!
Hi Stephanie,
I thought I might pay you a little visit 🙂 I heard from Sue (52-Card pickup) about your beautiful blog and decided to send you a ray of Dutch sunshine!
I really like your Halloween card, the colours are just perfect! Take care, ~Ira (from the Netherlands)
Hi Steph! I love all of the digital projects you’ve been playing with (I’m still baby-stepping there…)and all of your projects in general. Just so you’ll know: one of my favorite things about you is how wide-ranging your styles and stamp collection are. I get so bored with blogs that only do one style or one stamp company or whatever. Thank you for being a great inspiration!
So simple and nice Steph! I really like how you used the Halloween sentiment!! love those little water drops!!
Hugs,
Agus
