Dracula and Wolf Man

 Dracula and Wolf Man

I'm still getting inspiration from Movie posters for Jen Rzasa Tuesday #altenewchallengelive from Altenew stamp company. 

First up is Dracula a famous vampire character introduced in Bram Stroker's 1897 novel of the same name.  I'm in a tag mood so my Dracula is a big rectangle style tag.  Started by blending a few green inks on a white card ... white embossed the Dracula in the center.  The other two were stamped with a green ink.  I know this poster colors were green and black ... but ... I just had to add a bit of red.  I mean it's Dracula a creature of the night who wants to suck your blood.

Next inspiration is The Wolf Man the image of a cursed soul doomed to become a werewolf at the rising of a full moon. Wolf Man another creature of the night.  This is longer but still rectangle style tag. I blended colors on this tag, but I only used blending brushes that were in front of me.  Another words only the ink on the brush ... I didn't get out any ink pads just used up ink on the brushes.
Thanks for stopping by.  Come back soon.

M is for Magnolia

 M is for Magnolia

The challenge from Jen at Altenew this week is ABC.  Another words pick a letter to use for your theme on card or project. I picked the letter M.  I used Magnolia flower dies, Moths from Meadow Reflections, Mango and Marigold color cardstock, and papers.  I also used mini blending brush to add color to the magnolia flower dies.



stamps/supplies used:  Altenew Delicate Magnolia die set, Meadow Reflections (moths) and mini blending brush, SU mango color papers/cardstock

This is called a Fan card.

basic instructions:

base - 7" x 10"  score at 5"

layer - 4 3/4" x 6 3/4"

1.  Use same color as the base card for 4" x 6" layer, and cut in half diagonally.

2.  Color layer cardstock 3 1/2" x 5 1/2".  Cut in half diagonally.

3.  Pattern paper 3" x 5".  Cut in half diagonally.

4.  Layer all layers from line #1 thru #3.  This will form bigger of the triangles that will be assembled on card.

5.  On 7" x 10" card score at 5".  On the 10" side of card measure 2", and cut diagonally to the bottom of card.  Fold at 5" score to form base card.

6.  On 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" card measure in 2 3/4" then cut diagonally down to bottom of card.  Cut off 1/4" of this triangle.

7.  On 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" card measure in 2 1/2" then cut diagonally down to bottom of card.  Cut off 1/2" of this triangle.

8.  Layer all of these layers from line #6 and #7.  

9.  Assemble card with all the layers.  Add Magnolia flower on the bottom point of triangles.  Moths can be adhered on the top and bottom of card.  This makes a 5" x 7" card.
I will be entering this card in the #Altenewchallengelive.
