It's All about the Hat

It's All About the Hat, and what a fun witchy hat it is!  Vanessa here today, and on The Rabbit Hole Designs Blog, to share with you a card I created using the new Tatsiana Zayats stamp set for The Rabbit Hole Designs.  

First I cut an A2 top folding card base, and folded it in half.  I stamped the hat image more than half way down the front.  Using a paper trimmer, I cut to the hat on both sides, and then fussy cut around the bottom part of the hat (ribbon).  Creating a mask, I masked off the hat and stenciled a light purple background using the new Cat Eye stencil.  I colored in the hat with colored pencils with gamsol and added some shimmer with glitter and a shimmer pen. 

For the inside, I masked off the bottom with a piece of straight edged paper. I stenciled in grey with the Cat Eye stencil, and then stamped the sentiment along the bottom part of the card. I inked a little around the edges..... and added some glittery star die cut pieces to finish it off.

Happy Stamping!

 Hello! Linking up this card for the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge: add a sentiment

They're also showcasing Clearly Besotted stamps. It's not a requirement for the challenge, but it was a good excuse for me to use this stamp set I have from them.  I won it like 7 or 8 years ago and have never inked it up. What!? I know! 

Give Thanks

Hello!  Vanessa here!  Have you seen the new, beautiful Tatsiana Zayats stamp set Advice from a Pumpkin?  I love it!  I'm here today and over on The Rabbit Hole Designs blog, to share with you a card I created using it along with the Tastes Like Honey stencil.  

For this card, I used water color paper and created my background by stamping the leaves and acorns in archival black ink and watercoloring in pretty fall colors.  I used a rounded corner card die set, but you could also use a corner rounder punch, if you like that look seen here. After coloring in the images and letting them dry, I stenciled around the images, and used a gold metallic marker to add three little dots, repeating randomly on the background.  On a separate piece of paper, I stamped and colored the pumpkin, cut it out and applied to my card front using dimensional foam tape. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of cardstock, cut around it, inked the edges, tore and rolled the edge near the word Give a little, and attached it the card over the pumpkin; stapling on the edge.  I also used a couple pieces of dimensional foam tape under it to adhere it in place on the pumpkin. 

Have a great day!

TRHD August release, day 3

Hello and welcome to day 3 of The Rabbit Hole Designs August release!

All about the Hat is the fun new Tatsiana Zayats set that I am happy to share with you today.  I paired it up with the TRHD caffeinated spider stamp set as I thought they went together perfectly for a fun Halloween card.  

I used the new Cat Eye stencil, also from this release, on the card front base with  black ink. It made the perfect background to layer my stamped card front panel on. For my card front, I first stamped my spider.  Then using masking paper, I stamped him again, fussy cut him out and applied the mask on top of him, so that I could stamp the hat.  This allows me to combine the two images directly to the card without die cutting.  I colored in the images with alcohol ink markers and colored pencils with gamsol, then I stamped the sentiments in black ink.  I re-masked the spider and masked the hat the same as I did the spider, so then I could flick watercolor ink to splatter some color around the images.  I attached the card front and it's ready to mail.
