Halloween Tea Party 2015

Love this image! :D

Such a fun and unique image to color by Sweet Pea Stamps (artist, Enys Guerrero, the Halloween Tea Party image.)  !

Colored with Prismacolored pencils, distress/Tombow markers, and some accents with gold and silver gel pens. Added a little gold stickles too to the pumpkin face and to the star in the Halloween sentiment (from Hampton Art clear stamps set). Added a little more Glossy Accents to the star in the sentiment as well.

Backed the digital image on a couple layers of purple cardstock. Then layered some black/grey patterned papers and more pink cardstock to a 5x7 size white card base.

The Happy Halloween sentiment stamped with Memento black ink on colored yellow gold cardstock. Cut out and adhered to the upper part of the card.

So fun to color! Went with a  little less 'typical Halloween' for the Alice witch and tried to stay a little more 'typical colors' with pumpkin and leaves, and candy corn.

Planning to give this to my great friend for Halloween! Hope she loves it and you all enjoy it too!

(It was hard to take this photo today...but hope it shows up alright just the same).

Thanks for looking! :D

Day of the Dead - Las Calaveras 2015

So excited to share this beautiful image by Aurora Wings for the Day of the Dead challenge!

This is one of my favorites! It's the Day of the Dead style image, Las Calaveras!

I felt like doing something a little different and chose some 'not so typical' color combos for me (greens, yellows, grays) and keeping with a little simpler card by using fewer colors. 

Used Prismacolored pencils and distress markers and gold gel pen for a few accents too. :)

Backed the image on black and gray cardstock and adhered to a 4" x 5.5" size kraft card (which I guess you can't tell because it's covered by the cardstock/image. ;) )

Such a fabulous image and fun to color! :) Had a hard time taking photos today :( so hope you can still see the detail well enough.  

Thanks for looking! :)
