Hello again friends!
I am excited to share today's cards using the new Kindred Stamps Weirdos Stamp Set and Mystic Moons Stencil! I created 4 cards to share and they each have a fun bit of personality to them. I colored each witch up with Copic markers, and fussy cut them out by hand.
I started with this "bad" girl, building a card with a bit of attitude and edge. For the background, I used a sheet of gray cardstock and the Mystic Moons Stencil with Violet Inka-Gold and Cosmic Shimmer Ocean Teal Gilding Polish; to me, magic seems to have blues and purples as the colors that are associated with it. The Inka-Gold had to be softened a bit with water and ran a bit, but I really love how it turned out.
I mounted this on a sheet of black cardstock, and added a panel with the sentiment "Witch Please" from the Weirdos stamp set that I heat embossed in Chrome Embossing Powder from Ink On 3. I placed my bad girl below the sentiment and added a few sequins from a retired Kindred Stamps Shaker Pack to finish the card off.
My next card I foiled a Gina K Foil-mate Dots & Strings backgound with Deco Foil Lapis Watercolor, it just felt... magical to me! I backed this with a sheet of gray cardstock and added mounted this on a soft pink mini card (3.5"x5") that came with some kit of the past.
I stamped the sentiment "Blessed be" and the moon phase stamp on a tag from a past kit and cut off the "head" of the tag with Gina K Amalgam ink.
Last I added this chic witch from the
Weirdos stamp set popped up with a thin foam tape. I love how it all came together!
This next card with
Wierdos may be my favorite background everrrrrr. Again, I use the
Mystic Moons Stencil, this time I foiled it with Deco Foil Transfer Gel and a Silver Transfer on to black cardstock.
The sentiment I stamped onto a royal blue scrap of cardstock with Gina K Amalgam ink and then restamped with Delicata Silver Ink. I cut this out with a banner die from
The Stamp Doctor, layered with another banner in silver.
I didn't want a ton of embellishments, but added an acetate cluster of crystals from a past
VillaBeauttiful kit, backed with the same silver cardstock on the bottom banner layer to break up a little of the empty space. Then I mounted this witch on a piece from a past kit to let her stand out, since she was getting lost in the gorgeous background!
My last card I used a small (3.5"x5") cardbase from a past kit (my hoarding really came in handy this month guys!) that had a diffused oval that I felt was perfect for the simple card I had in mind. I used an oval die from
The Stamp Doctor to cut an almost perfect match to the pre-diffused oval of the leftover silver foiled
Mystic Moons cardstock. I popped that up on my thin foam tape.

Being an lapsed Wiccan, but still very close to my sisters, I love your cards and would love the stamp sets to make them cards throughout the year. Finding Wiccan or magic stamps is possible, but very expensive. I must go to Kindred right now to see if they still have Weirdos set.
ReplyDeleteAre you allowed to say what set the Blessed Band moon phases stamps came from?
Thanks and again, lovely cards!
I am dipping my toes into Wicca myself, I was SUPER excited at the chance to work with this set because of it! The Blessed Be and moon phases are in the Weirdos set too. I hope you order and tag me when you share so I can see!
