goodness you’ll see at each stop, you’ll get tricks along the way, too!
Simple tips and tricks to little secrets we papercrafters have figured
out that we want to share with you! That covers the Tricks.
I love anything Halloween related but I do have a slight problem - Halloween isn't a real big thing here in Iceland so my stash of all-things-Halloween is very limited. Trick: I love taking regular stamps and make them Halloween-like by using color as my go to tool.
On this card I deiced to use Moulin Mae and dress her up in my kind of Monster High way. And yes I have a lil girl that is really into all things Monster High so my inspiration came from her! :)
I just love how a simple coloring using my Tim Holtz Distress Marker and glitter make this stamp all haunted up!
And that is my simple trick for this Halloween! :)

ReplyDeleteA trick I love to use on my stamps is adding glossy accents to areas such as the hair or parts of the dress to add some sparkle.
ReplyDeleteI love her skin color, this is fab...
ReplyDeleteHow FAB! Love the color you used on her, she looks like she might be transparent!
ReplyDeleteI love how you colored her up all shimmery! :) So cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm liking what you've done with this girl, not sure what kind of monster she would be but I'm totally seeing the Monster High thing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea Anna! I love how Moulin Mae came out.
ReplyDeleteAwesome the way you turned her in a halloween figure!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteHow cute your
ReplyDeletenon-Halloween
stamp came out!
Lovely coloring.
Carla from Utah
Super cute! Love the way you colored her! Very unique!
ReplyDeleteCute Halloween card!! Love all the sparkle :)
ReplyDeleteWay to think outside of the box with the image-and the Monster High theme!
ReplyDeleteShe really looks halloweeny looking so light! That's a super clever tip for persons who doesn't have all the halloween stamps! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card. The coloring is really nice.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing.
Great coloring! Love it!!! Here is a tip or trick. If there is a small area you would like to emboss just take a small brush and brush on some versamark ink and emboss away.
ReplyDeleteI like how this is both Halloween and colorful...the spider webs aren't black! Something so easy can really make a difference....
ReplyDeleteI love the subtly of the distress markers, It's gorgeous! I have a daughter too that likes to also dress up. So fun
ReplyDeleteShe looks like a lovely ghost!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love all the glitter, and I have a not-so young daughter that loves Monster High!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWell she certainly looks like she is all dressed up to go to a halloween masquerade ball. Great way to think outside of the box!
ReplyDeleteLove the die cut background and spiderwebs with the image. Your coloring is great. She looks spooktacular.
ReplyDeleteMoulin Mae is adorable. Love how you colored her in the Monster High fashion.
ReplyDeleteGreat card and coloring!
ReplyDeleteLove how you did the coloring on this and added the webs.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous "alteration" for halloween. Changing the skin tone is a great way to make any SOG character more halloween. One I'd like to try is to make a black and white one, like disney's nightmare before Christmas or the Adams Family, once my greys shading is better. Your shading is great!
ReplyDeleteSuper creative- I love how you colored her!
ReplyDeleteGreat coloring job and I like the way you used this image for Halloween
ReplyDeleteLove the skin color! That's amazing
