Winter Wishes

 Hello my crafty friends! Let's say goodbye to this 2022 with a Winter card featuring some old and new Scrappy Tails Crafts goodies.

I started cutting a base from a peacock cardstock, I embossed it with a folder from my stash and I passed some statue Distress foundry wax.

I then die cut a two hearts from white cardstock with the "Scalloped Heart add-on" die set. I left the scalloped one in white and I ink blended the other with spun sugar, kitsch flamingo and lumberjack plaid Distress Oxide inks and I splattered with clean water and tone on tone inks.

I also die cut a cute snowman from the "Layering Snowman Duo with Christmas Tree" dieset and some other pieces from the "A7 Storefront Gingerbread House add-on" die set and I colored them with alcohol markers.

I put everything together and I stamped a sentiment from the "German Winter Village"  stamp set in red.

Here are some close-ups.

That's all for today! I hope you'll enjoy the card.

I wish you an amazing new year, full of joy, love and colors!

Big hugs, Silvia.

"BOO!" HALLOWEEN CARD WITH TIM HOLTZ

Hello there and welcome back to my blog! I have a Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Halloween card to share with you today and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Do you remember this background I post on my Instagram some days ago?

It turned out like this.

I love making Halloween cards and I was so in love with Stacy Hutchinson’s moon background (you can find her tutorial here) that I had to try to redo it.

For the color combo I chose black soot Distress Spray Stain and the burning ember  and harvest moon Distress mica stain by Ranger Ink. 

I then created my scene mixing together the “Slimline Spooky Scene Builder” die set by Trinity Stamps and the “Gate Keepers” die by Tim Holtz/Sizzix, I ink blending all the pieces with weathered wood and black soot Distress Oxide inks and I applied on them some Distress grit paste-Crypt.

For the sentiment I used black cardstock, Crypt grit paste and a Hello Bluebird die.

Next I stamped the mummy from Stampers Anonymous “Unraveled“ stamp set, I watercolored it with Zig Clean Color Real brush markers and I fussy cut it.

I put everything together and this is what it came out.

That's all for today. Thank you very much for passing by and I really hope you like this card.

I wish you an amazing day and send you big hugs. Silvia.
