Something Wicked-Layered Monster Card

 Hi everyone.  I have a Monsters card to share with you today from A Colorful Life Designs September Release.  Use code VonFan10 to save on your purchases.

I used the Layered Monsters Stencil.  It consists of 3 stencils. 1 for the body, 1 for the face, and 1 for the eyes.  They are labeled for you. Super fun.  I chose white cardstock and ink blended the Monster bodies in Hero Hues Lime Fizz, Hero Hues Berry Smoothie, and Hero Hues Azalea ink.  For stencil 2, I used Hero Hues Lemon Drop ink for the Monster's Face.  And for stencil 3 I used Black Soot Distress Oxide ink. I then ink blended around my Monsters with Black Soot Distrss Oxide ink.

I cut out my Monsters with a rectangle die and glued it to a A2 card base.  I glued some Googly eyes on one of my Monsters for fun and glued a Halloween Tim Holtz Chipboard Sentiment.  I hope you like my card.  It was fun to layer to make this card.

Woodblock Wednesday Guest Designer

 Hello everyone.  I hope you are doing well today.  I'm super excited to be guest designing for Woodblock Wednesday blog today hosted by my friend Amy Tsuruta.

Here is what I created:

I was one of the lucky winners from last months Woodblock Wednesday yay.  I won a giveaway Create your own Calendar Pages.  Thank you Amy.

So for January, I grabbed a Snowflake woodblock Stamp from my bin and stamped a bunch on the page in Lawn Fawn grape jelly ink.  For February, I grabbed this heart border woodblock stamp and stamped it in black ink. I was so afraid to mess up as there is 1 page per month.  I colored the heart border in with my Prismacolor Colored Pencils which was nice. I need to use those more often.  I ink blended around my heart border with some Stormy Sky Distress Oxide ink.

Next, for March I stamped a springish Bicycle woodblock stamp that has flowers I colored it in with colored pencils and ink blended some spring colors around it. Distress inks in Squeezed Lemonade Oxide ink, Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink, Lawn Fawn Grape Jelly, and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide ink. Lastly, it was April's turn. I used a bunny woodblock stamp and stamped it with black ink and again colored with my colored pencils. I took some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink and ink blended around my bunny. You can add sentiments. I did think about it, but I decided to keep it simple. That finishes off my 4 months for next year.  I now need to finish the rest of the months. Maybe 4 at a time? I hope you like them. I have had these woodblock stamps for a while except the snowflake one I got that one last year I think I bought it from Joanns.

 Thank you so much Amy for my calendar.  I had a  lot of fun and Thank you for having me guest design.

 Hi everyone.  I have a fun card to share using a fun New stamp and Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs New Release.  Use VonFan10 to save 10% off your purchase.

Do you love S'mores?  I think they are a delicious and fun dessert. This New S'mores Stencil and stamp is so much fun.  I started off with white cardstock and I placed my s'mores stencil over it.  I began ink blending and building my S'more with Lawn Fawn Crunchy Leaf ink for the Graham cracker, Ground Espresso Distress ink for the Chocolate and dots on the Graham cracker, and Lost Shadow Distress ink for the Marshmello.  I decided to make a few more.  It would be fun for a Slimline card too.

I cut out my card with a rectangle A2 die.  I then used the New S'mores stamp and stamped my sentiment in brown ink on my panel.  It reads "Gooey and Sweet what a treat". I then stamped the marshmallows with faces in black ink.  I flicked some white paint splatters onto my panel and added some sequins.  I then glued my panel to a A2 card base.  I hope you like my card.  I had so much fun making it.  Check out the New Release here.
