Haunted Cupcake

Time for another fun challenge over at Spectrum Noir! This month our challenge is to use Orange and Gray on your project. Get all the challenge details HERE.

I used my Spectrum Aqua Watercolor Markers a on my project. Isn't this fun! LOL

 I stamped the cupcake on watercolor cardstock and embossed. Then used the following colors to watercolor:

• Cupcake Frosting - Amber
• Skulls, Bones and Cake - Slate
• Cupcake Wrapper - Black

 

I also stamped and cut out a little skull to put on the big headstone next to the sentiment. All the supplies used to make my card are listed at the bottom of the post.

Who's ready for another great Spectrum Noir Challenge? Well...it' GO TIME!

Spectrum Noir August Montly Challenge - Floral/Nature 

For my card design, I colored with Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils, Blending Solution and Paper Stumps.

All the images are from Stampotique Originals. They have some really cool stamps! Ask me how I know ;)

 

 
The tops of the 2 biggest mushrooms and the little fairy - which is called "moon girl" - are cut out and popped up with foam adhesive. After I colored the mushrooms - I heat embossed the tops and parts of the stems using a Versamark Ink Marker and Clear Matte Embossing Powder. Really turned out cool!!!

I added crystal glitter to her wings and the ground. Amethyst glitter on the flowers and golden yellow glitters on the tall grass.

 

All the images were stamped using colored inks and colored in or colored on the solid areas with the pencils to enhance the design as follows:

Mushrooms - 108, 109
Ground - 057, 102
Skin - 004
Clothing - 086, 090, 103
Hair - 103, 086
Eyes - 103

Jasmin

Sometimes you just need to Stop, Drop and Stamp!

I took time out last night to play with a few of my new stamps. Yes...I have a *cough* few *cough* new stamps that needed some love.

This turned out beautiful! Jasmin is one of my favorite images from Stampotique by the amazing artist Jo Capper-Sandon.



Jo is actually the artist for all the images on my card - except for the sentiment which is by Great Impressions.



I colored with Copic markers. Black Dye Ink from A Muse Artstamps is my black ink of choice when coloring with Copic. Touches of Warm Highlights glitter on the grass and flowers really adds the Dazzle :)
