I've been playing around with one of my new stamp sets - Wicked Cool. I was trying to restrain from buying any Halloween stamps since I really don't do that much decorating or card sending anymore for Halloween. But I've got two little boys in Austin that I'll be sending a card to for Halloween so I decided I could splurge. Plus, I just love this stamp set - especially the witches boots stamp! So, without further ado, here's a few cards I made with it.
This is the first one I made. I embossed the hat and shoes with black embossing powder. The polka dot strip is one I found in my stash (non SU). Don't you love the label? I forgot I had it! It's SU's Sizzix Lots of Tags (pg 211 in catty) and it is so simple to run that black cardstock through the Big Shot! I layered the sentiment using the oval punch. The green cardstock is retired Green Galore.
This card was sent to Jana for her Monday Mailer this week. I think I may do this one for my club also next week. The colors I used are: Certainly Celery, Pumpkin Pie, and Perfect Plum. I used Incolor ribbon with rhinestones. The spider web was made by running my black cardstock through the Big Shot with the web embossing folder. Then I sponged Frost White Shimmer Paint over it. For a final touch, I topped the web off with a little black ink sponging.
Tomorrow night I am doing the Stamp of the Month at our local stamp store with my friend, Judy and Marianne. I haven't done the stamp of the month in probably 6-7 months, but the Halloween board looked so cute this time, we couldn't resist!
