Cards featuring Rare Oddities by Graphic 45

I really enjoyed creating these cards. The ideas flowed freely! I will be teaching these in Woodstock and at Stamp Scrap n More in Mundelien this September.

You probably can't tell, but there is a transparent front to this card that lets the floral paper below show thru.  I used a witch hat die cut from QuicKutz in black glitter paper, and a die cut from Tim Holtz's Alterations line (the witch on a broomstick).  I just cut the broomstick apart from the witch. I used chipboard to cut just the broom bottom. Then I sprayed it with Color Bloom Spray from Prima (empress gold). I wrapped some string around the top and attached it to the broomstick

On this card I used black chipboard to cut the cat, and glossy accented it with a thin coat for some shine.The web is from Tim Holtz's Alterations line, the spider QuicKutz.

This is my favorite of these cards. I used white acrylic paint with a brayer on a skeleton stamp from Tim Holtz, stamping onto cream cardstock. Which after dried I covered with walnut stsin distress ink. The darker you ink the brighter the skeleton will appear. The frog die cut is from QuicKutz, the corner from a Sizzix die.

I used a frame die from Spellbinders on this card. Once a cut the frame, I ran it thru my Vagabond with the silicone pad and the impressions plate to emboss it. While the cut was still in the die, I rubbed some inka gold from Viva Decor onto the exposed parts. This highlights the embossing. The bats are from a Sizzix strip die. The paisley pieces are from QuicKutz. I used brass studs in the corners of the cut out card.

Next time I'll show you the beautiful book I created with this paper line.

Until then thank you for looking!
