Darling Dragon

This is the last card I'm creating from The Angel Company's Spooky Boys stamp set. There is a cute little Superman in this set in addition to the one's I've already used recently, but I'm running out of time, so Superman will just have to wait. Besides, I can save him for Father's Day cards or something later, since Superman isn't strictly a Halloween image.

This dragon-boy is colored with Copic Markers Y21, Y26, Y404, YR07, V15, V17, YG03, YG06, E00, E02, E09, E29 and C1. Lots of blending going on here.

The patterned paper panel is from S.E.I.'s eerie alley paper collection. The square eyelets accenting the image on the left are from the Cha Cha Hardware collection and the sentiment is from TAC's Spooktacular stamp set.

Sweet Cinderella

This sparkly Cinderella also comes from The Angel Company's Spooky Girls stamp set. The paper is one of those pieces that I've had hanging around for years because I never came up with something that I thought would go with it and then it ended up on the bottom of the stash. I figured it was perfect for this since it looks like tile to me, and Cinderella had to have the floors cleaned before she could go to the ball.

My little girl is colored with Copic Markers E00, 302, Y11, Y15, B00, B32, B34 and C1. The dress, slippers and crown were all accented with the Stardust Clear Glitter Pen. It's one of my favorite tools because it puts instant shine wherever you want it without drying time. I used dots of Waterfall Stickles to complete the shine that befits any princess.

Spooky Vampire

This card is another one I made with The Angel Company's Spooky Boys stamp set from Inspiration Avenue. I colored the little Dracula with my E00, E15, 329, YR07, YR09, C1, C5 and C9 Copic markers. I used the blender pen on the E00 to help make the face look like he had white make-up on.

The patterned paper is SEI from the eerie alley collection and the punches are the Bats corner punch and Drippy Goo border punch from Martha Stewart.

Cutie Patootie Frankenstein-ette

This little girl from The Angel Company's Spooky Girls stamp set was a lot of fun to color. I couldn't wait to match her up with the SEI paper from eerie alley with all it's colors and layered boxes. She's colored with Copic markers E15, E29, YG03, YR07, YR09, V15, V17, C1,C5 and C9. I love how her black hair turned out. It's got such depth.

Mummy-man

Another Halloween card! I'm on a roll. This one is made using The Angel Company's Spooky Boys stamp set. These little guys are so cute. They just beckon me to play.

This one didn't take too much coloring. In fact the most time consuming part of this card was tearing the paper for the background. The green dots and pannel are from left-over scraps from when we did the melted crayon background technique at a Stamp With Me Night quite some time ago. The image is colored with Copic markers Y11, Y15, Y17, YG03, B24, E00, E02 and C1 (The YG03 and B24 are very faintly seen under the bandages.

Not-So-Spooky Witch



I've got a bunch of Halloween stamps because I think they're so fun, and then I never start making the cards until halfway through October, when it's almost too late.

Here's one I made using The Angel Company's Spooky Girls stamp set from the new Inspiration Avenue magalogue. The paper is from S.E.I.'s eerie alley paper collection. The ribbon is from Cha Cha and Penelope and the Eyelets are from Miss Moxie. The little witch is colored with Copic markers E00, E02, E33, E15, E29, V09, YR04 and YR09.



I thought black might be a little too stark for a little girl witch, so I tried the V09 and think it turned out great.

Pop-up Halloween Card

This is a Halloween card Rita taught us how to make when we were at the cottage a few weeks ago. We all got some practice with some folds and our Copic markers. I love how the shadows on the dirt came out on this card.

This card uses The Angel Company's Spooktacular and Glitter Goblins stamp sets.

Special thanks to my husband who stopped watching Monday Night Countdown and practicing guitar for his official band practice tonight to hold the card open for me.
