Halloween Vignette

Hello and welcome, 

I have been collecting Tim Holtz Ideaology for years. I have used Ideaology on cards until now. This is my first Vignette Halloween. It was such a joy to make this little piece. 🤗

I started this box a couple of weeks ago on a crop. And finished almost the last minute from Halloween. 🎃🎃

I started to glue Backdrops to all sides around the box with Distress collage medium. Then sanded the edges and inked with DI. Then for some extra texture I added some Distress Grit paste crypt. I glued some hardware heads on the outside of the box, they are colored with Mushroom Alcohol ink. Then I used Designtape on the front frame on this box. 

I sprayed a Woodland tree alpine with black Distress spray stain. When dry I added some collage medium and finally Rock candy glitter Vintage. 

The bats are die cut from a Vault die set. 

I love these creepy paper doll twins which I colored with Distress crayons. 

I used a Halloween worn wallpaper on the inside of the box. Then used Distress crayon for grunge. i also rolled down the uppger right  edge of the wallpapers.

I used some ink on the ”wicked” ephemera piece and used a nail to adhere it on the wall. Inked the edges with Scorshed timber DI. 

I glued a skull and pumpkin in the spanish moss with a hot glue gun. Then I used some Grit paste crypt on them. I also added some grit paste crypt on the window. I used a ”cracked” transparancy as glass on the window.

 I will try this in a challenge over at Simon Says stamp Monday challenge -Add some texture.

Thank you very much for visiting, and Happy Halloween 🎃 !

Mickey Boo!

Hello and welcome, 

Here comes a card with the cute Mickey figure made with dies from Spellbinders. I have been waiting a looong time for these dies to arrive in Sweden. 

I am a Mickey and Minnie fan so these dies was an absolute must have. 🙂. With inspiration from Tim’s live with these dies and his free watercolor Christmas class together with Simon say stamps I made this shaker card.

I started with the Mickey figure. I colored different pieces of Watercolor cardstock with Distress inks, and cut out all the pieces. Inked all the edges with Scorched timber DI. Glued the pieces together with Distress collage medium. Then I stamped the pumpkin from CMS250 Mini bird crazy & things on Watercolor paper and colored it with Distress inks. Fuzzy cut the pumpkin and inked the edges. 

Then I cut out a piece of Watercolor cardstock and die cut the “BOO!” word. I inked my craft sheet with Distress inks and sprayed some water. Dipped the paper, dried between layers until happy. Then I stamped the webs with Distress embossing ink and used black embossing powder. Heated with embossing gun. Inked the edges with Scorched timber DI. 

I made a shaker card with inspiration from Tim’s Christmas class with Simon says stamp. I used die cut bats in my shaker card, (an inspiration from a friend). The eyes and highlight on the wings are made with a white Posca pen. 

I inked the “BOO!” word with Distress inks and sprayed some water. Inked the edges and then glued it to the acetate. I also diecut a spider from black cardstock, gave him a pair of eyes with a white Posca pen and glued it to the card. 

I adhered Mickey to the card with 3D foam for dimension. Then I mounted my card to a cardblank.

It was a very fun card to make!🤗🙂

Trick or Treat

Hello and welcome,

The Halloween making has finally started🎃. I have used Tim Holtz products for this card. 

The background is inspired by a background Zoey Scarpelli made some weeks ago, an embossed background with Distress paint on top. 

I painted a piece of Mixed media cardstock with white Distress paint, dried, then stamped some images with Distress embossing ink and used Clear embossing powder, heated. Then painted Ground espresso paint over, let dry a bit, and used a lightly damp piece of paper and swept over the background and embossed areas. All edges on this project are inked with Scorched timber Distress ink. 

I glued some old book pages to Distress Mixed media cardstock with Distress collage medium, then diecut the pumpkin. I colored the pumpkin pieces with Distress Watercolor pencils and Distress inks. 

The piece in the very back is a black piece of paper that I have used Grit paste glow on. 

I diecut some leaves from Watercolor cardstock, inked with Distress inks. Dipped and dried until happy. I inked some cheesecloth as well.

The “Trick or Treat” is diecut two times, one time in black cardstock and the second time in Mixed media heavystock. Then I inked the Mixed media one with Distress inks in orange and red Distress inks. Inked the edges with Scorched timber DI. I glued them together a little bit off set. 

I diecut two bats and a spider and used a white Posca pen to give them some eyes. 

I will try this card in a challenge over at Simon says stamp Monday challenge - Add some text.
