Halloween Characters

  This will be a very short post today (I promise).  But I wanted to share what the challenge this week is over at Crafty Creations Challenges.  It's Halloween Characters. I love this!!

 
This cute image is "Frankie" from Pollycraft. Unfortunately, they are closing their website; but, before they closed, I was able to purchase 60 colored digis for a very low price. They had really cute digis, so I'll certainly miss them. I'll share another card with you tomorrow that I made using another image from Pollycraft

 
I lighten colored digis before printing them. This allows me to add my own colors, highlights and accents where I want them. I colored the image using Copics.  I used a white gel pen to accent the white streaks in her hair. And, yes, there is no picture of the inside of the card for a reason. I haven't finished it yet. I barely had time to finish the outside for it to be included in this week's DT inspiration. I added twine and a large brown brad.
 
Check out the Crafty Creations Challenge blog this week (I wrote it).  I would love for you to see what the other DT members have created . . . and perhaps join us for a wonderful prize from Clearly Besotted Stamps.
 
Keep Crafting,

  1. Heather...both your Halloween cards on the CCC blog are adorable! Those digis really get me thinking about how excited my kiddos are to get dressed up for Halloween! Fantastic job!

  2. Love this, Heather! What a great idea to lighten the colour a bit before you print the digi and then enhance with your Copics. Fab image, too.
