WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

I’ve got a few more autumn and Halloween cards to share with you before the month is out! Hopefully you’re enjoying the seasonal colouring and crafting fun, before we launch into all of the Christmas makes in November!

Today I’ve got a card and video featuring one of our new Kristin Farnsworth Collection stamp sets: Black Cat Magic.

The cat on his little stack of books and the cauldron come as two separate stamps in the set, so you can create whatever scenes you would like!

Hello everyone! This week I’m sharing a seasonal card in autumn colours and featuring a super sweet hedgehog, Sweet Mushroom Hedgie! I combined him with the Mushroom Border stamp.

Stamps Used:

I created my scene with the border in the foreground, so I stamped it first, then I masked the mushrooms and stamped my hedgehog. To make sure I have a combination that works, I always test the scene on a piece of draft paper in my stamp press without even masking it, to make sure my character is placed exactly how I want it. 

I coloured everything in Copics, stamped a sentiment from the Autumn Sentiment set, added a bit of texture stamps and a piece of washi tape. I matted my image on white cardstock, coloured with one of the Copics I used in my image to have a perfect colour match.

Copic markers used:

Background: B000, 00, YG01, 03, 05
Hedgehog: E50, 51, 53, R20, W4, 6, 7
Big mushroom: E04, 41, 43, 44, 56, 59
Other mushroom: E15, 18, 35, R35, 37, 59, Y13, YR00, 02, 04, 24, 27
Blades of grass: YG67

Have a fab weekend!

MWAH!
