Ding Dong The Witch is Dead

Hi everyone, thanks so much for all your lovely comments on my blog for the current blog hop at Cheery Lynn Designs - Flower Power. Please click HERE and join in the fun if you haven't done so yet for a chance to win a $20 shopping Spree at Cheery Lynn Designs.

My DT post for Cheery Lynn Designs today is using some more of the fabulous newly released Halloween dies. Soon as I saw the Witches Skirt Die I thought of the song Ding Dong the Witch is Dead from the film Wizard of Oz. So I decided to combine this into my Halloween card.

I started with a card measuring 8" x 5"  layering some Vellum over my orange cardstock for a spooky feel and a drop shadow effect onto my spiders webs.

My centre background was created uses inks and a Stencil. I double layered the Witches Skirt and added more spider webbing for extra detail. I Added a shadow effect to my trick or treaters and spooky tree.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and good luck to everyone entering the Current Challenge - Back to Nature over at Cheery Lynn Designs.

Crafty Hugs,

New Release Cheery Lynn Designs July 2015

Hi Everyone, Today is the launch of the Cheery Lynn Designs July 2015 release of new dies. This launch showcases amazing Halloween, Christmas and New Word dies to name a few. Please head over HERE to see what my Teamies have also been making with the new dies.

I have 2 projects to show you today, the first one is a Trick or Treat bag which I'm sure would be lovely to give to extra special Halloween visitors. I started off with a paper bag measuring approximately 5" x 7" excluding the handles. I cut a piece of patterned paper, rubbed over some Picket Fence Distress stain to pale down the strong colours and give a shabby feel, adding some stitching around it and distressing the edges.

The spiders web is a corner die which comes with the Spider. I cut my web 4 times to form a full web layering in 2 colours for an extra creepy feel and to highlight the black from the web. My spiders I also double layered with green.

For my Trick or Treat sign I added Red Stickles and once dry I added Glossy Accents over the top to give a look of dripping blood. I then Layered on to white card for a shadow effect.

My Trick or Treat border I also layered twice for a shadow effect, aren't they so cute !

Finishing with my Pumpkin and a netted bow.

My next card showcases this cute Koala Bear. I decided to give him a cute and cuddly feel as I thought he would look lovely on a baby style card. I layered up my die cuts adding a little distress ink to them.

I trimmed my French lattice frame to fit behind the back of my Dutch Scallop frame for added detail.

My Koala was layered twice, coloured with Copics and a little Silicone Glue added behind his nose.

To finish off I added a bow with a flower in the centre.
