Boo! I can see you by All Dressed Up for the Little Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #239 on the 6th of October, 2024

 

Hi All!
Welcome to my post about my card for challenge #239, the 6th of October 2024 challenge for the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.

Here is my card:


I chose Boo! I can see you, which I have digitally printed on to X-Press It Blending card and die cut with Scalloped Squares Die from La-La Land Crafts, before colouring with the following Copics markers:
  • face/skin - E000, E02, E21, E11, R30
  • purple (hair & dress) - V12, V15, V17, BV02, BV04, BV08
  • cat - C1, C3, C5, C7, R81
  • pumpkin - Y11, YR14, YR18, YG23, G85
  • background - BV0000, BV000, BV00
  • grounding - N0, N2, N4
Here is a close up of the colouring:

I used clear Wink of Stella on the sentiment and then adhered the coloured image to a Kraft square card from Envelope Solutions.

Here is another photo of the finished card:

As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder and her fantastic monthly classes and bonus classes.

Halloween Cats for Just Purple at Let's Craft and Create Challenge #212 on the 5th of October 2024

 

For this month's challenge at Let's Craft and Create Challenge Blog, we have the optional theme of

Just Purple

I was trying to make one of the cards from the Halloween Card Class by La-La Land Crafts, but I ran out of time! However, I did manage to finish the front of the card!

So, here is my card:

I stamped the kitties from Purr-fect Halloween Clear Stamp Set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on to X-Press It Blending card, then coloured with the following Copics:
  • black - C1, C3, C5, C7
  • green - YG23, G85
  • orange - Y21, Y23
  • pink - R81
  • purple - V20, V22, V25, V28, BV01, BV02, BV04, BV08
I then added some finishing touches with a white gel pen and my Prisma-Colour pencils: black, kelp green, orange, cadmium orange hue, burnt ochre; before fussy cutting the images.

I then die cut a piece of the Haunted Paper Pack using the largest of the Cave Dies and added a piece of cardstock behind the centre piece before adhering it to a square card from Envelope Solutions. As the paper is 6x6 and the card is a little larger I coloured the edge with a black (100) Copic marker.

I then stamped the sentiment on to black cardstock using my MISTI and Archival Brilliance Moonlight White ink.

The two kitties and sentiment were adhered on to the card with foam tape.

Here are some photos of the colouring before fussy cutting:
