Plumed, Layered, Glittered and Ghostly by Jean Okimoto

Create a feathery background for the new Large Layered Witch Hat.  Diecut and stencil the trio of Plumed Gypsy Feathers in a colorful mix of pink, orange and coral inks.   Hi, Jean here with another Halloween slimline design for you today.

Cut the small Plumed Gypsy Feather from and coral cardstock.  Create 3 DIY feather stencils by cutting the feathers from vellum - one for each color.  Stencil Electric Pink, Electric Orange and Electric Coral Radiant Neon ink feather backgrounds onto the rectangle.  Dry the inks with a heat-tool.

Cut pink and coral cardstock with the Plumed Gypsy Feather die.  Cut the orange Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6 with the feather die too.  Attach the diecut feathers over the stenciled backgrounds.

Cut Large Layered Witch Hat from black cardstock.  Cut the vertical trim from the black Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6.  Cut the hatband from the orange Rainbow Reflections 6x6.  Assemble the hat

Cut the ghosts - from the Ghosts in Forest set - from Open Studio Watercolor Paper.  Attach scraps of black cardstock behind the faces.

Attach the diecuts to a kraft slimline card (3-⅝" x 8-½").   Add the amber Autumn Fairy Crystals.  Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.  

Thanks for visiting!  I'll be posting again on Friday - hope you won't get tired of seeing me this week!

Plumed Gypsy Feather and Hugs Dies by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome!  It's Angie here today with a mini slimline card featuring the new Plumed Gypsy Feather die and the Hugs die.  Here's a closer look at my card:

I cut the feather several times from white and black card stock and also from a watercolor panel that I had smooshed with Distress Inks.  If you look above at the bottom feather you can really see the texture of the watercolor paper!

Next I paper pieced different black and colored pieced into two stacked white feathers.  Then I arranged one on the top of my mini slimline card base and cut off excess.  I used the left over pieces to add to the bottom of the card.  

For the sentiment I layered a strip of watercolored paper on top of a black strip, then added the sentiment.  The sentiment was layered.   The bottom shadow die cut 2 from black and one from watercolor panel.  To get the black shadow effect glue the 3 dies together but offset the black ones (one on the top, one on the bottom.)  Then add the white "hugs" die on top and add it over the strips on the front of the card.

Here's one last look at my card:

I hope you like my card for today.  I really love the new dies especially the feather.  You can create such lovely cards with it!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
