Witches Don't Have To Be Scary!

I LOVE Halloween. I actually think I like it more and more each year. I've made tons of cards that I donated to Cards for Soldiers this year, and this is one of them. I found it challenging to work WITHOUT glitter at first, but now I don't even notice (that much!).

Floating Bats - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!!

Happy Tuesday!! It's time for my latest Brea Reese Brand Ambassador post, and I'm still in the Halloween mode! I wanted a really shimmery dimensional background for this card, so I pulled out my Gold Modeling Paste and put it through a Halloween stencil. I love this stuff because it has kind of a smooth finish when it dries, but when you put the Glitter Inks over it, it becomes more textured and sparkly. I blended Cadmium Red, Crimson, Medium Magenta, Orange and Cadmium Yellow over the dried background, and it just came to life. I felt like the die cut sentiment grounded everything and made the bats stand out.

Dream, Wish, Hope - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Tuesday!! I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, and since today is World Mental Health Day, I thought it was important to make an inspirational card!! We all struggle and we all need encouragement now and then!

I used my go-to paper, Watercolor Splash, for my card base and my die cut words. The Hope Wordfetti dies were perfect for the encouraging sentiments I wanted. I used the Watercolor Doily to make the words pop.

Trick or Treat - Brea Reese Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Tuesday!! It's time for my latest Brea Reese Brand Ambassador post, and even though it doesn't feel like fall (hello 80 degree weather!!), I'm READY for fall, so I made a Halloween card! I used the amazing Watercolor Inks to make this card. They blend so beautifully and allow you to make the colors bold or subtle without a ton of hassle or mixing. I literally drop the inks on my palette and then just pick them up with my waterbrush and let the colors do all the work.

Hocus Pocus - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Friday!! I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, and I'm in full on Halloween mode!! I like to take things that maybe aren't so Halloween-y and make them work for the holiday, so I grabbed my Metallic Ink Watercolor paper pad for the background layers. I like the contrast of the purple and black. Two Halloween title stickers turned this fairy from mystical to Halloweeny!
