My Halloween Collage Collection

This is my first Ms. Pumpkin  Halloween Collage that I created using the images that I made in GIMP and then cut out using my Silhouette SD machine.  This is a 4 inch X 4 inch gallery wrapped canvas ( meaning 2 inches deep, so it stands up on its own, or can hang on the wall, no frame needed), that I painted my FAV color palette, added some patterned paper, stamped and inked.  I just love the way this one turned out!

This is the second Halloween Collage that I did using some other images I created in GIMP.  The owl image I purchased from the Silhouette store, used GIMP to color it in and add text.  The Canvas was prepped the same as the first collage.  In this one I did add some Ranger Pearl luster in a graphite color.

This is the 3rd Ms. Pumpkin Halloween Collage that I created using my own images that I created in GIMP.  I used pop dots behind the clouds, and Happy Halloween.  I also used Ranger Glossy Accents on the Happy Halloween.  All Prep was the same as the collages I have done.

This is a slightly larger Halloween Collage that I created using  images that I created in GIMP.  This image is 8 inches long X 4 inches tall.  I did the same stamping, adding patterned paper and distressing with Rangers ink as the other collages.  In this collage I made the tiny bat in the upper Right hand corner more dimensional by adding Ranger's Glossy accents and bending the wings.  Glossy accents was added to the tiny ghost hitching a ride, Ms. Pumpkin's eyes.  The tiny ghost, Ms. Pumpkin, and "All Hallow's Eve," have pop dots behind them.  Ms. Pumpkin's dress is made out of modeling paste, and painted with a gold paint.

Princess Cake Die cuts


This is a set of die cuts that I created using GIMP and cut out using my Silhouette SD machine.  Unfortunately I only have this one set, because I dropped my computer and lost all the files on my hard drive.  I had two of these kinds of episodes, and finally got a back up system (although it doesn't always want to work).
These are listed in my Etsy store.

My Mother's Birthday Card (August 2010)

This is a card that I created for my mother's birthday this past August.  I used patterned paper that I bought from my BF's Scrapbook store.  I stamped the paper with Stazon Jet Black Inks and stamps that I created using "Speedball" easy cut.  I then distressed the edges with Ranger distress ink in Vintage Photo.  

I used Stickles by ranger to add some depth and glitz to the scalloped circle.  I also used Stickles on the Rose image that I created in GIMP, and used my Silhouette SD to cut out.  Lastly I added some charms that I bought at Michaels craft store...the tiny ribbon was distressed...and simply states "mom."

The inside of the card I used patterned paper, the stamps I created and photos of my two sweet boys.  All pages and die cuts are distressed with Ranger's Vintage Photo ink.
Back of card using same products as the front.  The Card template I 
created using my Silhouette SD by outlining my image and welding it to a rounded rectangle.  I then created a "dashed cut line" for the fold line.
