Yes I am back again today! It is the first of the month and there is a new challenge on the Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog. This time we have a wonderful sponsor Bugaboo Digi stamps and there are prizes. The design team were all able to choose an image each to work with so if you go to the blog you can see their wonderful inspiration pieces.
I chose the Halloween Silhouette Scene. I am really enjoying using silhouettes in my card making at the moment. I decided to make a gift bag as this is the time of year for collecting sweets. I made the bag first from black card using my Hougie board to do all the measuring and scoring.
For the image I printed it onto white 160 gsm card stock and I cut it out. Then I used two shades of Distress Ink to ink over the image. I used my Versa Mark pen to draw round the edge of the image and to highlight the eyes and windows then I heat embossed it with a glow in the dark embossing powder. If does work, this really does glow in the dark. I added an extra little die cut cat in the corner. I used a spellbinder die to make a frame for the image I think it looks a little Gothic.
If you click on this logo you will be taken to the Bugaboo store there are lots of images to choose from.
Not long and it will be the weekend. I have been rather busy with Design Team bits and pieces and at the start of the month there will be quite a few posts from me.
Happy Crafting
Hugs Jackie

Hi Jackie
ReplyDeleteWhat a great image, perfect for Halloween , and a great idea to make a bag for your sweet collection! Love the cat the pops round the front too. Glow in the dark embossing powder! Didn't know that existed - that would give you a fright in the middle of the night!
Take care
