Have a Vampyrific Halloween




Here I am, back, again, to tell you about a new challenge over at Open Mind Crafting.  We have a fun one for you, perfect for this time of year! Our theme is Halloween or dressing up.  Surely you have some Halloween makes to show off, right?  Come on over to Open Minded Crafting for Your Chance to win prizes from these great sponsors:

















My card uses the image, Vampyre Witch, from Scrapper's Delights, colored with a mix of Promarkers and Copics - But mostly Promarkers. I wish you coud see the shading real well in the pic, because I am pretty darn proud of it, being its my first decent attempt at shading with Copics. Unfortunately. it doesn't show well in the pic because of the lighting and color choice.  but, trust me! I did well for a first real attempt LOL!  All papers used are from my stash. I have embellisehd the card with handmade pearls.  Oh, Oh.... I have a fun tip for you on making your own pearls.  You can make pearls in lots of colors, very inexpensively, buy buying plastic pony beads in bulk and melting them down in your oven.  I made these black pearls/enamel dots myself, by melting down black pony beads in the over at 250 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. Make sure you line your baking sheet with waxed paper and let the pearls cool for a few minutes before handling. Then they will slide right off the wax paper. Be careful when melting and monitor your pearls as different ones seem to melt at different rates of time.


This card if for my best male friend, for Halloween, who always appreciates my cards.  Hope he loves it!

    1. It is made with a sexy witch on the front and what man wouldnt like a sexy witch for Halloween?! It most Certainly is suitable for a male recipient. If you read in the post it was made for a male friend. Thank you for your comment and opinion on my card.
