Boo to You

My good friend asked if I would make her some Halloween things, so I cooked up a few items.  I made acard following the sketch from A Sketch for You to Try, courtesy of the most talented Jen Del Muro at Iheart2stamp. 

The card is watercolored using Tombow markers and uses the cutest K&Co Halloween paper.   This was my first time watercoloring with markers – I loved it – I felt it gave me more control over the colors than when using reinkers, pencils or watercolor cakes.  I followed this awesome tutorial by Leslie Miller at Running with Scissors, that makes it seem so easy!  Thanks Leslie!!

The bag is called Purse in a Box!  Do you remember the bag in a box that made it’s rounds a couple of months ago?  Well, Andrea Walford revamped the bag to make it look like a purse.  It is so stinkin’ cute.  You can view her version as well as a full tutorial and downloadable template at her blog AndreaWalford.com  

 This one is made with K&Co papers and handles are fashioned from nesties cut into circles then folded into half.  

Supplies:
Stamps:  Angi-B (Now sold by Smarworks)
Paper:  K&Co, Bazzill
Ink:  Versamark with Black Embossing Powder and White Embossing Powder
Accessories:  Brads

My goodness, I had this post ready to go but had a comical time with the final editing and resizing on the pictures.  It’s normally something I can almost do with my eyes closed, but you would laugh to know how many times I sized, resized and ftped them to my site.  After about the fifth time last night, I decided I was sleep deprived and went to bed.  Happy September!!
