I’m happy to say that NEW RELEASE orders are quickly making their way out of the door and heading towards your craft desks! So lets get cracking with more inspiration to get you ready for their arrival!
For today I went with the adorable Little Witch & Her Pals. I’m obsessed with Amy Glatiotis‘ sweet little ghosties on these new stamps. They are the absolute epitome of too cute to spook.

That’s it for today! I’ll catch you on Wednesday with another card and video.

Hello!
It’s time for another Scenic Saturday card and of course I just had to ink up one of the fabulous new Holiday release stamps that hit the virtual shelves yesterday. Four fantastic Oddballs were added to the line-up and I chose Oddball Witchy Sistah 3 for my card today. And because I always enjoy a good stamp mash-up between my old and new stamps, I also brought the cute pumpkins from the Squishy Owl stamp in to flesh out this spooky Halloween scene.
I chose to ink up Oddball Witchy Sistah 3 and stamp her in the center of the card, then masked her off. This left room for me to flank her on either side with the big jacks that were left behind once I wiped the ink away from the Squishy Owl in the middle. With her adoring pumpkins in place, I thought it would be fun to play up the whole pumpkin theme and color her using the same pumpkin inspired palette so she would look like the Queen of Jack o’lanterns. Thus she got the long auburn hair and smoky green eye shadow that coordinates with her gourd-geous gown… LOL! With the coloring of the characters and ground complete, I masked them all off again and used a moon mask with the Copic airbrush system to add the dark night sky and full moon shining down like a spotlight on them all. The sentiment is from the Frightful and Delightful Sentiment set and it really made me laugh when paired with the droll stare of this Oddball beauty. Finally, I sketched in some magical sparkles floating around as well as a trio of bats flying through the air for some finishing touches that add a lot to this rather simple night background. 🙂
Stay crafty my friends!
