Witchy Halloween Card

I had purchased this sweet little witch from Bugaboo Stamps recently, and just had to put her on a card.  I've colored her with copics and added some Creative Inspirations Paint over several of the colors.  The circle and doily are Spellbinders dies, the silver dew drops are from the Robin's Nest, and the little glitter bat and cat came from a sticker sheet.

Wedding Projects with a Vintage Touch

These are some wedding projects I made for my ex to give to his niece and her new (soon to be) husband at their upcoming wedding.  The vintage couple stamp on the card is a Hampton Art (Graphic45) image, and the sentiment inside is TPC.  Most of the flowers used are from Recollections, with a few of my handmade (with Spellbinders Blossom One die) flowers mixed in.  I've also created a mini album for their wedding photos with each page made into a pocket to hold tags or booklets for more photos, and an Altered Frame to match.  Their photo has been changed to sepia to match the vintage look I treid to achieve.  I'll link my YT video below if you'd like a closer look.

CI Paints - Sweet and Shimmery Card

Hi there Crafty Friends!  I'm Kimberly, and for my first official project on the CI Paint DT I chose to color a sweet little image and make a card.  I've used several fun colors from the expansive Creative Inspirations Paint line:  Carmel, Onyx, and Blue Ice.  I've also added a bit of clear glue along the edges of the flower I made, and sprinkled on some of the Resplendence Angel Dust glitter for even more sparkle.

Thanks so much for joining me today, and I'll be back with a new project on the 25th!

Wooden Halloween Coffin

This was a plain wood little coffin that I painted with white Gesso, 2 coats of black acrylic paint, and then 1 coat of Onyx paint by Creative Inspirations Paint.  I have a video up where you can see the shimmer on the box and flowers (where I used the Fairy Dust CI Paint) a bit easier.  I'll add the video link in below as well.
Most of the flowers and stickers (Boo and the Bat) are from a YT friend, Sue (Sue7777000), and the fabric under my skeleton is from another YT friend named Sue (tsnbjj7).  The skeleton himself came from the local dollar store, as did the little vial on the lid.  It was a really fun project, probably because I absolutely love Halloween.
