Halloween Slimline

| Lisa K

Continuing to create with the Spooky and Mice set from Simon Says Stamp, I made a slimline card.

I saw a few cards created by the Simon Says Stamp designers and used a few for inspiration. One had a background of stars, another had the images arranged like this, and another had different coloring and many used the gel pen for highlights. I took all of their inspiration in and created this card. I used Gina K Designs Layering White cardstock for most of the images, and while laying this out, I needed a few more images. I have a pack of white strips from SU Basic White cardstock very close to where I create, so I took a strip and stamped more candy images. Then went to coloring with alcohol markers and adding the gel pen.

I chose three colors for the stars–Lawn Fawn Fake Tan (orange), Manatee (light gray) and SU Misty Moonlight (blue). The star stencil is a very old retired SU one.

First challenge, http://cardz4galz.blogspot.com/2023/09/use-stencil-sentiment-image.html

I used the stencil, many sentiments, and several images to meet this challenge.

I think that is enough challenges. I will post this to splitcoast stampers and link to Two Old Bats from there.

I enjoyed creating this fun card. This stamp set was definitely a good purchase for my daughter. She is the Halloween fanatic as she loves the holiday and finds many clear and rubber stamps to create with. She owns then and I use them; works perfect for me. Thanks for reading my long post. Have a wonderful last day of summer.

      1. LOL…I just sat down and decided to check my emails. Will and I went out for a late lunch today and had a nice afternoon so it was back to business. I still haven’t made a STAMPtember purchase. I fell asleep before midnight for the Trinity Stamps release and missed out on that one which I would have purchased. I’m glad they are giving free shipping.

        1. The free shipping is the only reason we shopped. I added a stencil that I saw Kristina use in her video. I am looking forward to creating with it. The sets are flying out so fast. The Trinity one was gone as fast as it appeared I think.

          1. Sometimes that free shipping is the difference between adding one more thing to the cart or paying for shipping.

    1. Thank you! I like the stars as well. I am seeing a bit of green in one, so those colors blended together quite well. They are fun to color and create with! It was a nice change of pace. I haven’t created with critters in some time.

    1. Thank you! I had 10 or more markers on my work area. It adds up quickly and takes quite a bit of space. It is fun to color these cute images, though.
