Beside my Tim tag that I just posted-it has been forever since I have posted projects. On Tuesday I was hammering out Halloween cards that I think made it to most destinations on Halloween. Hopefully!
I try to make cards for about 17 people-friends and family that we can't spend that much time with because of geography. So as the deadline nears I go from making each card different to making many of the same cards. Here is one of those examples:
The stamps (witches and sentiment) are from Great Impressions. I used Tim Holtz's Distress paints for the backgrounds. If you look closely you can see each one is different. I used crushed olive, seedless perserves, ripe persimmon, and scattered straw for each one. I LOVE this color combo. I can't explain it but all of these colors are just gorgeous together! I bought these paints at Simon Says Stamp.
I used the same paints on the sentiments too. I just painted them without water whereas the backgrounds I used water. The Distress Paints react with water-so cool! I used black soot around the edges of the painted backgrounds. Then I used black embossing powder for the image.
These were lots of fun to make-and quick too!
I am entering this in the Anything Goes! challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show. Thanks for stopping by! Until next time my friends...don't drink too much brew.
These are soooooooooo fun! LOVING the witches!!!!
