Hello friends,
I'm showing off a fun new set from Kindred Stamps today called Witch Please, this set will be available on Friday, September 27th! This set features a lovely little lady, and her ever-watching cat.
I started by coloring the friends up using Copic Markers. I kept them simple with no fuss.
Next, I went to work building a fantastic background for them to have behind them. I wanted it to look like nighttime in front of the family graveyard. The back of the card front is a light gray (I know it looks white but that's just the lighting!) I took a white piece of cardstock and blended Catherine Pooler's Twilight ink over it lightly. I got a new stencil from Stencilgirl that has the neatest looking clouds and used it with Deco Foil Metallix Black Ice and of course, my Stencil Pal, to make a bluster evening full of menacing clouds.
Next I took to my Jane Davenport die cutting machine (because it's mermaid, duh) and used a set of dies from Stampin up to build the family graveyard. I wanted the background to be darker so I went with black for the tree and ground there, and gray headstones. The fence and my foreground grass I used color to bring us forward to the friends who are in full color!
For my sentiment, I used a set of banner dies from The Stamp Doctor, that aren't released, yet but I use this set constantly because it allows me to layer my banners, and has tons of sizes so I get exactly the right size! First, I stamped my sentiment using Nocturne VersaFine Clair on a red scrap that matches my girl's sweater and headband. I layered that over a scrap of white sparkly paper.
To finish off, I added a few bat sequins I had picked up at Target last year!
The entire Kindred Stamps September release will be available Friday, September 27th at 8am PST/11am EST.

ReplyDeleteI love the depth in the scene of this card. The bat sequins are a perfect touch 💕 I think we have an Ash, pikachu, and someone from descendants this year with our 3 kiddos. Holly.reifke@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteSuper cute card! Love the scene you created and especially that cute kitty!
ReplyDeleteNo kids at home any longer, but I have a simple bat costume for myself. It's some sparkly wings and a headband with some pointy ears, and I wear those with some black pants and a black t-shirt!

This is super cute! Everything coordinates so well together!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet scene. Love the bats... and especially the sentiment! As for a costume for Halloween. I have no children so I'll be the one in costume. Think I'll be a slightly frumpy, middle-aged lady. Oh wait... that is my usual costume! :)
ReplyDelete(We usually have a costume day at work and I am thinking I'll go as a cat lady. Will wear a fluffy robe and slippers, out curlers in my hair, stuff the pockets with beanie baby kitties and pin a few climbing up the robe hem.)
Love the scene you created!
