Monster Halloween

I've shared this card a few days before on facebook and instagram but I didn't have the time to make the blogpost,
so here it is.

All the cute images on this card are freebies from Jessa Feig on useless trinkets.
I've printed all the images on smooth cardstock and colored them with my spectrum noir markers and cut them out.

I've made the background by blending orange, purple, blue and black inks and used a die cut from My favorite things to cut out the panel. The black hills are also made using die cuts from MFT.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Hugs, Henriette

Pretty Cute Stamps September Release Sneak Peek - Werewolf

Welcome at the Pretty cute stamps second sneak peek day.
This month all new digital stamp sets have a back to school or a halloween theme.

One of the Halloween themed sets is this werewolf with matching sentiments.

The inspiration for my card came from the movie series "twilight". I've been watching this series again a couple of weeks ago with my daughter who had not seen this serie before but loves it now as much as I do. 

I thought of werewolf Jacob and the pinetrees surroundings from the movie when making this card.

I made this little scene in photoshop. The pinetrees and moon are free photshop brushes.

After I placed the pinetrees in Photoshop I imported the werewolf and sentiment. The coloring of the werewolf is also done in photoshop.

I printed the image on vellum and placed it on white cardstock. This could be a nice halloween party invitation card.

For more sneak peeks of the September release please visit the pretty cute stamps blog. 

I hope you'll join us tomorrow for the September Release Blog Hop.

Hugs, Henriette.

Happy Hauting

I know it's a bit early but I've already seen some new Halloween themed stamp sets around and so I decided to make a halloween card for the CAS on Sunday sketch challenge.

 
First I made the rectangle by using a mask and blending distress inks.
The scary ghost is a photoshop brush (free download here) that I printed out and colored with spectrum noir markers.
The bat is a free printable and the sentiment I made in word.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Hugs, Henriette.

Halloween CAS card

Hi and welcome,

Although Halloween is not a big thing here in The Netherlands and I'm not so fond of Halloween themed challenges,
I did made a CAS Halloween card.
I used the same card layout as I did on a baby card that I made last May.

Here is how I made this card.
First I made 5 circles in Photoshop using a Halloween color scheme.
Then I searched on Flaticon.com for Halloween icons and placed them inside the circles.
I printed them and used circle die cuts because I wanted to foam mount the middle circle.
I also made the sentiment in Photoshop using the font "an unfortunate event" and added a little spider icon in the "o".
I printed the sentiment directly on the purple cardstock.
Also did I add orange glitter paper behind the white panel.

I really like the way Debby Hughes displayes her cards on her blog.
She explains more about how she takes photos of her cards here. 
I'm trying to be as good of a photographer as her, but not even close :)

Entering this CAS card in these challenges:

outlawz challenge: sunday cas Halloween
artistic inspirations challenge: halloween
dream valley challenges: halloween
aaa cards: CAS halloween
addicted to stamps: photo inspiration: inspired by the five panels



Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a nice day.

Hugs Henriëtte.

Trick or Sweet

Hi,

I wanted to make a card for the current Yumi and Fumi challenge ORANGE, GREEN, PURPLE and BLACK!

I made a round card using my Cuttlebug. The papers are from the october card kit from Simon says Stamp, the pixie stick is from the november kit 

The digital image is a meoples from CC designs. Colored in Photoshop.

I made the sentiment in Word.

Halloween

Hi,

I think I've made 3 halloween cards this year but actually we don't celebrate Halloween at all.
It not a real big thing here in the Netherlands (although it is growing in popularity).
It is mostly celebrated in primary schools, there are some halloween parties around, the occasional house is decorated
and in some neighbourhoods kids go trick or treat but not here in our street.

But I did make another Halloween card, my last one this year.
It is a simple one using wobbly eyes, cardstock and jute in Halloween colors.

The sentiment I made of a halloween kit from design by Dani.

I'm entering this card in the next challenges:
