Fun and Ghoulish Soiree Card for Halloween

 We have created a Phantom of the Opera meets Twilight inspired card. This slimline card, with its red paint spattered effect has a fun and spooky theme: the story is that a formal soiree has gone awry on Halloween night. Below, let's see how easy it is to make this ghoulish card!

Our ​Vampire SWAK Rubber Stamp combined with our ​Chandelier Silhouette Rubber Stamp create a spooky setting wherever they are stamped.

Bows made of red glitter and black cardstock are added near the bottom of the card. Notice how they are placed below the SWAK design to look like a necktie.

For the card base, we have 4 layers:

1) black cardstock, 

2) silver cardstock, 

3) white cardstock. 

4) For the top layer, we have a red, orange and silver paint spattered cardstock. This was already done, but you can create your own with watercolor paints on white cardstock.

Our ​Vampire SWAK Rubber Stamp is just like a regular Sealed with a Kiss stamp, but it has vampire fangs and bloody drips.

Our ​Halloween Background Rubber Stamp works well as a true background or as a centerpiece and measures about 3 inches x 3 inches in size. We stamped it in Candied Apple Distress Oxide. Then we stamped ​Chandelier Silhouette in Red StazOn ink on top. 

We use a white gel pen to highlight the chandelier and yellow and orange gel pens around the light bulbs to create a glowing effect.

Above is a closeup of how the​ Chandelier Stamp looks when some simple color accents are added. It makes a fun effect when stamping similar colors like in this case, a lighter red ink and a darker red ink.

Also, our ​Opera Rubber Stamp is stamped on the background on the upper portion of the card.

Did you know that we carry 4 different sizes of acrylic blocks that accommodate all of our stamp sizes? Our ​Small Acrylic Block fits the Vampire SWAK Rubber Stamp.

Our ​Medium Acrylic Block fits the Chandelier Silhouette Rubber Stamp.

Our ​Large Acrylic Block fits our Halloween Background Rubber Stamp (and accommodates any stamps smaller)

Our ​Extra Large Acrylic Block fits the Opera Rubber Stamp (and accommodates any stamps smaller as well).

New Coloring Booklet Casual Chic

We have a new digital download available: It is the  Casual Chic - Modern Fashion Plates Coloring Booklet   featuring 12 girls dressed in cute outfits along with accessories such as eyewear, hats, purses, and some even have a dog with them.  All of the girls measure over 6 inches in height and print onto 3 pages (landscape). The outfits are fun and unique. You will always be challenged to use various colors while practicing your shading and blending techniques. I had such a blast creating the examples for this project.   Tip: If you have not already, this is a good way to get to know what markers you have. There is a color swatch area to label and try out colors before committing onto a character, which is especially helpful for skin and hair. In my case, I got to know which skin tone markers I had. Between 2 sets of brush tip markers, I was able to create a variety of skin colors so that each girl did not look identical to the next. The best part is that you do...
