It's that time again! Time again for this month's
cling set release with Whipper Snapper!
I have been having so much fun with the sets for this month, and I cannot WAIT to see what the Featured Designers have been creating! I feel like I repeat myself month after month, but really -- it's just so much fun!
This month there are two sets being released, and I really can't choose a favorite.
I made this card using images from Halloween Fun. The set is packed with witchy goodness and several fun Halloween sentiments.
Most of my scene cards are masked, but I decided to make a card that didn't require any masking at all. Rather than masking the bottle and frog, I stamped them on a separate piece of paper, cut them out, and adhered them to my card using foam dimensional adhesive.
I did something a little different with my sentiment banner. Because I used twine around the main image, I also decided to use twine to create a couple of stitches on the side of the banner. This was easy to do with a really small hole punch. The twine threaded through the holes easily, and I was able to make a little knot on the backside to hold the twine in place.
I also added lots of shimmer to this card using Marvy Twinklette pens. They really lay down a lot of color, so I only added a few dots to an area before my next step. Because they're a water based product, I used my water brush to move the color around just like paint! It worked like a charm! But I'm not sure you can see it in the photo... (click the photo to see it larger). And if you're wondering, atyou Spica pens from Copic are also water based and will work in this same way.
As I was putting this set together, it occurred to me that it would be a great set to combine with Chicken's in the Kitchen and What's Cookin'. All of those cooking implements and sentiments ... what a fun combination! The Halloween Fun set doesn't have bubbles for the cauldron, but if you want bubbles you can borrow the bubbles from Fish Friends or Swimmin' By. And don't forget Spooky Expressions, which released last year. There are lots of great Halloween expressions in that set that would work perfectly with Halloween Fun!
The other set being released this month is Cowgirl Up!, a fun girly set featuring a cowgirl, lasso, her chickens, her beverages of choice, several sentiments, and more! I shared a sneak peek card using this set, here.
