A Little Hocus Pocus

I guess I’ve really been working on ATCs more than greeting cards lately! Here’s another swap from atcsforall, with a Halloween theme. I decided to use the Sanderson sisters. The images are from Kindred Stamps. I colored them with Copic markers and did a bit of heat embossing. Aren’t they cute?

Candyman and Helpers

For me, Gene Wilder will forever be the ultimate candy man. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the 1971 film, was colorful and scary, and also the dream candy factory. For a recent candy-themed swap at atcsforall, I created cards featuring Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompas. They are colored with Copic markers, have heat […]

Bubbles!

I absolutely adore this ATC. The challenge for this swap on atcsforall was to create a card using bubble wrap somehow. I used it to stamp the background, using Distress Ink. The image is from Unity Stamps. It evokes the essence of childhood innocence and fun, blowing bubbles on a sunny day. I colored the […]

These cards are crafted with Lawn Fawn products: Winter Unicorn stamps & dies, A Little Sparkle stamps & dies, and the Sunrise Backdrop die. The “birthday wishes” was heat embossed.
