Witch Halloween Card

 Well, I got back to making some Halloween cards this week.  I made the background for these with the third stencils from the Halloween Bundle.

This is how the backgrounds looked after I stenciled them with my blending brushes.

It took me awhile to decide what color I wanted to use for the background.  I ended up using Gina K's Jellybean Green.  I had to experiment using different colors for the base of the candy corn and ended up using SU's Daffodil Delight.  For the other stencil pieces, I used Pumpkin Pie and White Craft inks from SU. 

I used Pumpkin Pie for the base cards and adhered the stencil layer next.  Then I used some spider webs I still had in my stash.  I used SU's Cauldron Bubble DSP to die cut the witch and cauldron and the stamp set for my sentiment.

Originally, I had a black wired ribbon on the card but wasn't sure if I liked it.  I asked Rachel when she stopped by and she agreed.  Fortunately, I was able to take them off the cards.  Leave it to my husband to ask why I had a web with no spider!!  Problem solved!  LOL!!

For the inside sentiment, I used SU's Howl-o-ween stamp set and some of the DSP.  I loved how these cards turned out using the old stamp sets.

Happy Face Cards

 I decided to take a break from making Halloween cards and make these cute cards that I saw on a video using a Simon Says stamp - Happy Face.  Of course, I didn't have the stamp set but decided to improvise using what I had in my stash.

I punched out several different sizes of circles to find two that fit the size card.  I then punched out a hole on the base card using the larger size.  Since I didn't have the stamp set, I punched my smaller circle on Gina K's masking magic paper and positioned it on different locations on my cards blending with different ink colors.  

For my happy face, I punched out a piece of Daffodil Delight CS and drew a face on it and glue it down.  Needless to say, I went through a few circles before I was happy with how they looked!

For my inside sentiment, I used the Happy Sunshine Mini stamp set from Gina K.  I then blended some of the same ink colors around the circle.  I loved how they turned out!  It was a good way for me to practice my blending as well.  Have a great weekend!
