Ghost Gillian and Some Rockers

Uncategorized

It’s Day 2 of the 31 Days of Halloween from Smeared and Smudged! And, as promised, I have more cards from the latest Simply Betty Stamps release- Jude and the Rockers Fall. I’d like to start with my Halloween card…which also happens to be a Simply Betty image. This is Ghost Gillian from the Steampunk Halloween collection. You may remember that I shared the colored image with you back during the release, but I didn’t have time to finish her up. Well, here she is! I colored Gillian in with (gasp!) pencils. And a wee bit of Brick White Copic…just her “skin.” Oh pencils! How I’ve missed you so! I kept the color to a minimum. I wanted her to be ethereal and, well…ghost like! I surrounded her with clear cabochons, to represent orbs. Have you ever been lucky enough to catch some on film? I have! 🙂 And for the background, I used some amazing textures from the Smeared Ink Quoth the Raven set. On to Jude and the Rockers! First up is Ali with her baby turkey. This is such a sweet image! I just love it. And it can be used for so many other occasions than just Thanksgiving! Seriously loving this image. And, her name is Ali! 😉 This is Bundled Up Brittany. Another cutie! I love her skully scarf. I colored this and my other Rockers images with my watercolor markers from EK Success. I gave Brittany teal hair like mine (which is seriously in need of a redo!). I kept the colors bright and super cheery. If you cut away the leaves, this image would be great for Winter too!   This last card I am sharing today features Lily Pie.  Mmm…I am craving some pie! In facet, my favorite thing about this image is that huge, steamy pie! I colored the pan to look like one I remember many of my family members having when I was a wee one. I hope you enjoyed all of my offerings today. I promise that my posts won’t all be this long. 🙂 If you’d like to visit the rest of the Wicked Bloggers from the 31 Days of Halloween (and you should), the entire blog roll is listed in my sidebar. And if you’d like to see more Jude and the Rockers Fall creations (which you also should), please visit the Simply Betty Stamps Blog . Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

    I told her i will try to give her another order the end of Nov. (when my check comes) I am also going to make Christian a card 🙂

  20. WOW Alison, it would be hard enough for me to create just one project a day for a whole month, and you've done several! Fabulous work, but the first one is my favourite, Gillian looks gorgeous! 😀
