Halloween Challenge #106

Hello KBD friends! For my mid-inspiration post today I have decided to use images from both of our sponsors to create these shaker bookmarks, a perfect non sugary treat to add to those goodie bags! Usually I have a complete list of the copic colors I've used, but I've found that going back to work after 13 years of being a stay at home mom, I barely have time to craft let alone keep track of the markers I've used!lol So today will be a quick post.

I'd like to give a special thanks to Star Stampz and The East Wind for sponsoring us in this challenge. They both make so many fabulous images!

Materials used:

Star Stampz - Ghost girl
The East Wind - Spellbound


I hope I've brought you some inspiration, and remember there's still time to join in the challenge!

Happy Crafting!

Gift Bow

Hello KBD friends! For my spotlight today I've created a gift bow. The bow is an SVG cut from Sandra's Scrapshop and comes with a card base which I have not added. I'm using the ever so cute Narwhal Love II. I wanted to paint him in space colors and had the perfect fish in space paper to go with it.


Materials used:

Kitty Bee Designs - Narwhal Love II
Sandra's Scrapshop - Bow card
Simon Says Stamp - Stacked Stars
Sizzix - Framelits ovals
Spellbinders - Holiday Magic embossing folder
Deco foil - Rainbow
Ranger - enamel accents blue ribbon
Star garland
Lace with glitter
Wow! - Gold pearl embossing powder
Tim Holtz - Distress paint picket fence


To make Narwhal with galaxy skin I printed her out on some bristol paper.  I then went over the outline with my versamark watermark pen and heat embossed her in gold. Then I used Zig clean color real brush markers black, purple, deep violet, blue, and cobalt blue. I randomly marked Narwhal up leaving white space here and there for the color to flow into. Next just add water to a brush and let it flow on, its amazing how the colors come together. After letting it dry I flicked Tim Holtz picket fence paint on with a splatter brush, and with a white gel pen I added a few more dots and some stars.

Hope you liked my project, thanks for stopping by!
