Well – good morning and Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day! Hope your week is going well! It’s still hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms each day – so….summer in the South! 🤷♀️. I’m already ready for FALL in the South and I’ve barely got my tomatoes going! Yikes!
My card today sort of reflects the coming of Fall. In that Halloween is in the Fall? I don’t do a lot of Halloween cards, but..I saw a cute home decoration project with the Online Exclusive Potions & Spells Bundle and I played with it a little to turn it into a card! It also used the Delicate Forest Dies and some Full of Life DSP? Yep – the Full of Life DSP for…a Halloween card! Take a look-see:
And – I played along with the Sketch Saturday challenge this week.
I went back to 2015 and worked with the sketch #374!
I started by adhering a piece of Full of Life 6″ x 6″ DSP to the front of a Basic Black card base using Liquid Glue.
Using the large die in the Delicate Forest Die set, I cut it from the middle of a Basic Black panel for the card front.
I made the bubbling cauldron “scene” next – starting by cutting out a Copper Clay cauldron using the Potions & Spells die. I embossed the die cut cauldron in the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.
Then, using a Small Blending Brush, I brushed some Versamark Ink onto the raised portions, sprinkled it with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool. Again using a Small Blending Brush, I lightly added some Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
I adhered the cauldron to the card front using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the Potions & Spells dies to cut out some “ooze” from Granny Apple Green cardstock and brushed it, and another piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock with Granny Apple Green ink.
From the piece of brushed cardstock, I cut out bubbles – using ALL the bubble dies in the set – and brushed them all with the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I used the die again to cut out a bunch of bubbles from Old Olive Glimmer Paper.
I adhered the ooze to the cauldron with Liquid Glue. Then I used Liquid Glue and Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the die cut bubbles.
At this point, I used Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Delicate Forest die cut onto the card front.
I used the Online Exclusive 1 3/4″ Circle Punch to cut out a piece of Online Exclusive Graceful Greenery Vellum Specialty DSP. I brushed the circle with Crushed Curry ink using a Blending Brush and, tucking it under the Delicate Forest die cut in the top left corner, adhered it with a little Liquid Glue.
It’s a full moon.
Tell me you see it! 😉
Look closer.
There. NOW you see it! 🙂
I assembled a broom (had to have one, right?!) by using the dies to cut a Pecan Pie stick and a Crushed Curry broom head and adhering them together with a dab of Liquid Glue. I tied an eensy little bow from Linen Thread and added it with a little dot of Liquid Glue.
Then I adhered the broom to the card front with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock, I stamped a Potions & Spells sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut it out with a Stylish Shapes die. I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I used a little piece of Black Stampin’ Dimensional to adhere a final little bubble to the sentiment. Then I added some sparkly Iridescent Faceted Gems and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added a second Potions & Spells sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a Basic White panel. At the bottom, I stamped the bubbles image in Tuxedo Black (that’s in the bottom right corner). I also placed all three individual bubble stamps on a single block and stamped them a couple times. I colored everything with my Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends and the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Basic Black card base and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got more Lemon Lime Twist bubbles – with Clear Wink of Stella! – on the front…
…and a little more Full of Life DSP (and bubbles!) on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Is it surprising that the Full of Life DSP has contributed yet ANOTHER piece of DSP to a project!? It is SO stinkin’ fun and versatile! And Potions & Spells is super cute – love the ooze. Which…isn’t a sentence I ever thought I’d write!! 😂. And the cauldron and broom stick and bubbles…too fun! Finally – don’t forget all the cool die sets – like Delicate Forest – in the Annual Catalog – think outside the box and…figure how you might incorporate them in …unexpected places! 🙂
I hope you like!
