Little Ghouls & Maybe a Witch or Two

I just love halloween, and there are some great stamps out there. I picked up some from starvingartistamps and I think they came out so cute. Here are three that I've done, I've got one more witch in the works.


Aren't they cute! These are my three little ghouls. They are the spitting image of my boys. No seriously they are from the doodlefactory halloween set. I had fun with this card. It was a lot of masking. I colored with prisma pencils and blended with gamsol and brayered the background. I seem to be in a coloring with pencils mood, cause here are 2 more that I colored with my prisma pencils.


On this one I used a sketch from the mojo monday archieve, week #26. There are so many great sketches on this blog to try out. I made mine a square card 5 1/4 x 5 1/4. I am so happy with how this card turned out. The little orange monster was stamped on very vanilla and layered on the new in color kiwis kiss and basic black. I know the green looks more like sage shadow but trust me it's kiwi kiss. For the little square monsters, I punch out 3 squares of very vanilla, then stamped the heads of the little monsters. They are layered on basic black and then layered on ghostly greeting designer paper. Everything is layered on the new in color tangerine tango. Of course everything was colored with my prisma pencils. I also did a little piercing along the top and bottom of the main image. Cute Cute Cute if I say so myself. This is off to my mother-in-law and represents all of her boys.

Here is my witch, she is from the witch trio from Starvingartistamps. The tree is from Holly Berry House. Sorry about the picture, could not get a good shot, the shadowing does not stand out as much as it does in this picture.
I saw a very similar card on splitcoast and thought it was such a great idea I cased it. Here is the card I cased. I made this card for my aunt for her birthday. I stamped the witch and tree on going grey cs and colored with my primsa/gamsol. They are layered on basic black and then on tangerine tango. The saying also from the witch trio is also stamped on basic gray and layered on basic black. They are attached to the card on dimensionals. I then did some piercing on the corner. Very quick very easy. I hope you enjoyed these, because I enjoyed making them and sharing them with you.

Thanks for stopping by.

I love the one of *your boys*...they are all great, but that one looks like it was a lot of work, and you made it turn out perfectly!
