A Scream

Hey trick or treaters!

  I wanted to try something a little different today.  I usually use blue or gray when I color ghosts.  I don't know why.  There are no rules, right?  So I thought I'd try pink.   I was also in a watercoloring mood.. so i used my zig watercolor pens to get that soft look.  What do you think?

You Are Fierce

Hello!

I'm talking a little break from Halloween cards today.  This is an older set from Stampin up called Wild Cats.  I'm always been drawn to tigers.  There is just something magical about them.  I wasn't 100% sure about the art work in this set when it first came out.  I think it was actually in part because the sample in the catalog were made with some really (IMO) odd colors.  Once people started getting their hands on their stamp set and started creating with it, I was all in.  When they are in the natural colors I think they look stunning!  What do you think?  

I have so many ideas for this stamp set, I can't wait to get it out again soon and try another idea.

Ghostly Card Sketch

Hello friends,  

I colored up these ghosts over the summer.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them.  I wanted them to be the focus of the cards, but again these are smaller images.   I went back to stash of sketches to find a design that would help me create a clear focal point.  I love how the circle spotlights the images, white the banner anchors the image to the card.  It provides a nice balance.  If I was going to make these cards again I might try using a light grey instead of white.  Do you think that would help the ghost pop out even more?  What do you think?
