Viewing: Stained Glass dies

A Wonderfully Wicked Gothic Bats Card
The Wonderfully Wicked stamp set isn’t particularly scary…until the bats summon Nosferatu.
I wanted to try using the Stained Glass dies for a Halloween card. Since they have that gothic appeal, castles come to mind, which at Halloween time makes me think of vampire movies. Scary movies are not my thing, but the 1979 movie Nosferatu the Vampyre is scary and creepy and artistically fascinating. At one point he enters a victim’s room by flying into her room (in a castle, of course) as a bat. So now you have my set up!

A Painted Glass Birthday
Today I have a simple birthday card featuring the Painted Glass stamp set. I might add that it features the beautiful Love What You Do designer series paper, but only because this rose pattern is my favorite from this package.
I took my color cue from the designer series paper. The card base is Rich Razzleberry and the mat for the paper is Old Olive. To begin, I stamped the circle pattern from Painted Glass on a small piece of Whisper White card stock using Old Olive ink, then over-stamped the birthday greeting with Memento Black ink. Next, I cut out the image with Layering Circles dies, and cut a small scallop border using Rich Razzleberry.
