myasperations 10-31-23a

I had fun the last two weeks creating cards to enter into the Sweet November Stamps (SNS)  Halloween Celebration challenge on FB. But life got busy (again!) and I want to get them posted before the end of the month. (I'll come back and post more details soon!) 

These first two cards feature  the digital image Fairwee Junie. Her wings were trimmed from the printed images, and traced onto scraps of vellum. After adding a of color and sparkle with alcohol pastel markers and assorted gel pens, then were taped in place on Junie’s back.
                                            
Supplies: 
·   Digi- Sweet November Stamps (Fairwee Junie)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and  Sakura Gelly Roll gel pens (white,

     gold and silver sparkle)


This one features Sweet Junie seated beneath full moon, excitedly waiting for a special guest to

arrive. The inside of the card shows features my idea of what the Great Pumpkin looks like! I

trimmed the features from the digi, and attached it to a yellow background with foam tape to

create the illusion of a light inside.

I created a fun scene with a story for this last card. A little sweetheart is sitting and waiting for a special guest to arrive. In the original digi she is holding a cookie, swiped from a plate of cookies with the sign “For Santa.” However, she isn’t waiting for Santa this time of the year, instead, she is holding a Halloween Snoopy… possibly hoping that the cute little plushie will attract the attention of the Great Pumpkin!  

Supplies: 
·   Curtain digi (printed on patterned paper)- from Sweet November Stamps (Christmas Is

·   Digi- Sweet November Stamps (Cookie)

 ·  Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Snoopy Plushies (on front and inside of card)- Photos of Hallmark Toys, found in Ebay listings

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   Inside of card Jack-o-lantern frame- a Halloween Post-it note

·   All other items from my stash.

  6. Really fun cards Kathy. I love how you swapped out the cookie for snoopy. Unfortunately though I can't see any embellishments on the card you entered into our challenge so you won't be eligible for the prize draw. However thanks for sharing it with us this week over at Passion for Markers. Hugs, Denise x

    1. Denise, thanks for sharing this comment. I was thinking that the snoopy "doll" , window pane and curtain would count as embellishments. But I guess they really are just layering! I'll make sure to add some bling or ribbon to my next card!
