The Greeting Farm 'trick or Treat' Blog Hop

Welcome to the Halloween release from The Greeting Farm!!!!

For added FUN we thought we would have a little trick or treat hop!

I thought I would make a Halloween picture frame, I wanted something quite ornate to hold these adorable halloween trinkets! The frame is made from grey board, die cut and I've painted with black paint dabber! All the dimensional foliage has been cut from black cardstock! I then glued the pieces in place omitting the shrinkies and sprayed a very generous amount of glimmer  mist so it sparkles! I have printed the digi's onto inkjet shrink plastic, (my printer is still playing up with the black ink, although you can hardly notice!) They're coloured with copics markers and shrunk with heat tool, I used some clear adhesive foam to attach them!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Graphic 45: Halloween in Wonderland; grey board; Inkjet shrink plastic;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: Halloween ~ witch; pumpkin; shedevil; skeleton; bride;

Ink: printer; Copic: markers*; Ranger: distress inks: vintage photo;

Dies: loads of them LOL ~ Sizzix: frame; flower 3D; branches & leaves; elegant flourish; spooky house;

Other: Tattered Angels: glimmer mist; Paint Dabber: pitch black; Viva decor: pearl pen; black & clear 3D adhesive foam;

I hope you enjoy the hop and of course I need to mention...

that two of you could win a Halloween digi of choice,

and there's one GRAND prize winner who gets all 5 new Halloween digi's!!!!

A Mystery Monday

Over at Club Anya and Friend's we have a new Monday challenge... where we 'case' cards from the Galleria...

This week we are also previewing some Halloween digi's, available from TGF on 15th September, here I've used Halloween witch.

Now I had trouble with my printer over the weekend and no matter how many 'new' black ink cartridges I put in, the black ink will not print! Arghhhh! SO it only prints with the colours which turns the images into a sepia outline, I just had to go with it and although it was a little tricky to colour I quite like the result!

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Graphic 45: Halloween in Wonderland;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: Halloween witch;

Ink: printer; Copic: markers*; Ranger: distress inks: vintage photo;

Other: WRMK: trims; Bazzill Basic: jewel templates; Viva decor: pearl pen; 3D foam;

Thanks for stopping by I hope you stop by to see the rest of the teams awesome previews!

I had to layer a few copic colours to get the colour of his shirt to be the same tone in the paper... Lots of fun, I made this for a boy who's soon turning nine so didn't add much embellishment! Also had to cut the bow from the skull hope it works LOL! Hope you get a chance to play and pop to see the rest of the teams fabulous cards!

ETA: the supply list is here, also added a few tips too!

Glossy accents onto coloured image, with a little gem, adhered to adhesive foam & magnet on back

Don't worry if you run out of large squares, try making a four tiled image...

This is stampboard, copics, glitter & Bling covered with glossy accents.

This is the tile effect with smaller fragments...

a magnet for each corner!!!

Here is the Stampboard and Glossy accents (arrrghhhh to the blurry hair)

How about rectangles? This is Stampboard, copics and UTEE...

The finished 'fragment' magnet from the Tutorial...

I turned Pam's sketch on it's side to fit the cute chappy my Guy Ian, I've coloured him with copic markers (what else) which I have matched with the patterned paper.
