Friends of Unity October 2023 Blog Hop. Build a Scene

Hey everyone! We are building scenes this month. This is spooky month, so I had to make at least one Halloween card. Check out our cue:



I kind of cheated on my cards because the scene was already provided by the stamps themselves. For the Halloween card, I did add two witches at least. 

Let's get to the cards. First up, is the Halloween card:





It's been a minute since I have made a Halloween card. I'm a little rusty, but I do like how this card turned out. The background scene stamp is called R.I.P. I stamped it on heavy weight white card stock. I cut it with an arch die by PhotoPlay. I used metallic pencils and colored pencils. Gamsol was used for blending. This stamp is perfect for Halloween. I love the zombie hands. I stamped the witches from the August 2023 Kit of the Month, phases, and cut them out. I placed one on each side of the card with foam adhesive. The sentiment, sisters of the moon, is also from the same Kit. I found a purple, bat grommet and placed it under the sentiment. I layered a metal bat over the metal grommet. I finished the card with pattern paper, glitter paper, and green bling.

Next up:






I have been wanting to stamp this beautiful image since it first came out. I am so slow in stamping. I shop so much faster than I create. This lovely image is from the August 2022 Kit of the Month, hope is stronger. This kit has so many beauties. In my defense, I have at least used a couple more stamps from this kit a little while back. This beauty was stamped on water color paper. I used several Karin Markers for coloring. Once I stamped the image, I cut it with a tag die, also from Unity. The encouraging sentiment is from the December 2021 Kit of the Month, smile wider laugh longer. I received the heart die cut as a freebie from Unity. I stamped the sentiment on heavy weight white card stock and cut it down to size. I placed a heart clip on it and applied using foam adhesive. Pattern paper was also used. I used the pinpoint fern background die by Gina Marie designs on both pieces of pattern paper.

Well, there is still more inspo. Keep hopping. Here is the hop line up:

  3. I love how the witches frame the first card and give it so much dimension. The layers create a fantastic design. The second scene is gorgeous and the cutouts are perfect. I am also a fast shopper, in fact I call myself a cardmaker and a stamp collector!
