Halloween! What fond memories - from my childhood and when Lauren was little we threw the funnest Halloween parties, complete with games and trick or treating. Last night, Lauren told me that Louisa is going to be a skunk this year. I'll have to see if I can put together a skunk Halloween card!
These critters aren't skunks, but they are adorable! I had a lot of fun coloring them. The mummy rabbit is so cute!
The background on this card is really cool! It's basic distress ink blending with a layer of microfine warm highlights glitter on top. I've got a video showing this technique and a few tips along the way.
Here's the video:
With Lauren getting Louisa's skunk costume from Pottery Barn Kids, I don't have to make a Halloween costume this year. I wouldn't mind making one, but I'm kind of glad that's one thing to cross off my list. What are your Halloween plans this year?
Thank you for stopping by!
this is amazing card!

Oh, in Italy we don't celebrate Halloween so I usually don't like so much Halloween cards, but this is soooo cute!!! LOVE the three characters and especially that owl!! I'm going to enjoy your video just now!

This is beyond cute and so perfectly non-scary for the wee ones! Love it all!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed watching you create that adorable Halloween card on your video! I just love the beautiful shimmery, shiny background (I can just picture it on a Christmas card, snow scene, moonlight, fireplace)! The little characters are darling and your coloring is perfect!

Absolutely adorable, I love your card, such fun with overload cuteness. We don't celebrate as much as you do, here in the UK, but I have made cards for a family nearby who do celebrate.
ReplyDeleteHope you all enjoy your "spooky" time LOL..

that is just too cute and the glitter showed up wonderful in your video, that made for a very cute scene, I am with you sometimes I don't mind the white around an image and other times I would rather it be trimmed closely, those little items are tricky not to cut off though.
ReplyDeleteI love the spooky cool background and those critters are just darling! It's a super fun Halloween card! Make sure to take a picture of Louisa in her skunk costume... I bet she'll look adorable it in!

ReplyDeleteLOL Don't think I've ever heard of anyone going as a skunk. I'm sure she'll be a hit. You have colored those wonderful Stacey Yacula critters beautifully. Her images are always so full of character.
ReplyDeleteDARLING! Your coloring is spot on!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me smile from ear to ear!

ReplyDeleteIn Austin, the process of cataract surgery is designed to be as efficient and comfortable as possible for patients. The surgery usually lasts less than an hour and is performed under local anesthesia, minimizing discomfort while allowing patients to remain awake. Post-operative care is crucial, and patients are typically provided with detailed instructions on how to care for their eyes after the procedure, including the use of prescribed eye drops and follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
