If the broom fits fly with me

My final project featuring the new release from Simply B Stamps, Betty Boo, features just some of the word art that comes with it.

To make up the cards I have followed the current sketch over at Deconstructed Sketch, I’ve just made them mini, they are just 2.5x3.5”, a bit of a challenge but also a great way to use up some scraps.  As these are mini cards I am entering them in the current challenge at Mod Squad.

The current theme over at ScrapbookerPhD is to add texture so I have done that in two ways, first with some embossing of the black-grey paper, it’s a bit hard to see on such a small card but the Tim Holtz Wood Grain folder was just perfect for a ghostly Halloweeny feel.  My second bit of texture was added with some embossing paste and a stencil on the brown paper.

If you want to see the fun image that comes with these sentiments you can see three different projects from me right here on my blog, one featuring just the image here, another featuring the image and the ‘fly with me’ sentiment at this post and the final one using the ‘if the broom fits’ sentiment here.  You can also see what the awesome DT have done with this set, Betty Boo, and the other just released image and word art set, Zombie Bride Betty, by heading over to the SBS blog or following the links at the bottom of this post.

I told you she was tricky

This is the third card I’ve made using the new Betty Boo image from Simply B Stamps, this time I’ve not used any of the word art sentiments.

To make up this card I’ve followed the sketch over at Crafts 4 Eternity.  The image is super small again but this time the background paper didn’t have too much glitter on it so I was able to print the image straight on to it so I could still have the lovely curly elements that I had to cut off when fussy cutting.

I really ran out of time doing up this projects as I had a lot on this weekend so to save time I coloured all the images the same colours.  But as I did colour the image using my Copics I am entering this in the current Addicted to Stamps challenge.

I’m also entering this in the current As You Like It as it features an image of a person, which is really the type of images I prefer colouring.  Why?  Basically because I really don’t do fur and other animal skins very well, I can get a dappled effect for a leathering skinned animal but my furry animals never look very good.  I also am more of a people person than an animal person in life too, maybe why I haven’t worked that hard at improving my animal colouring skills.

I’ve got one last project featuring this new release so come back in a few minutes to check it out.  Meanwhile you can see my cards featuring this image and the word art that comes with at this post and also this post.  You can also check out the release over at the SBS blog and see what the awesome DT have done with BettyBoo and the other new word art release, Zombie Bride Betty, by following the links to their blogs at the bottom of this post.

Just a spoonful of sugar…

This is my second card featuring the awesome new Betty Boo image from Simply B Stamps, this one is teamed with the word art ‘if the broom fits’ as drawn by Betty’s son Christian.

To make up my card I’ve followed the sketch over at Bastel-traum and luckily this one had an oval element that I could print Betty Boo and directly on to with no fussy cutting.  The image comes with the word art perfectly placed as you see here.

Now a witch can’t be without her potion ingredients and these are, as everyone knows, highly toxic so there has to be a warning label or two featuring a skull and crossbones, hence my little charm.  It also works in with the skull on her cauldron.  I found the bone trim in my stash so added that for some interest also.   

Over at Creative Fingers they’re framing things and my image is nicely framed in my oval Nestie, it also fits an anything goes, which their challenges always are, so I am entering my card over there.

I’ve got a third card featuring this fun image coming up in a few minutes and you can see the first one I made at this post.  You can also see the entire set of images and word art you get with Betty Boo over at the SBS blog and what the fab DT gals have done with it and the awesome Zombie Bride image also releasing today by following the links at the bottom of this post.
