Meeting the Moonlight Whispers

I recently got some of the Moonlight Whispers images from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. Since some of the ones I got are kind of spooky, I wanted to make sure I inked them up before the Halloween season passed.

Here’s Zelda the Zombie using the sketch from this week’s Kraftin Kimmie challenge. I colored her with Copic markers. I wish I was a better colorer--hopefully having images like this to practice on will help me to improve my skills . . .

I chose colors for the image and the card based on this week’s Curtain Call Color Challenge colors, which include daffodil, pumpkin, black, white, and gray. I used two papers from a Recollections Halloween paper pad for the panels on the cardfront. The smaller orange panel is wrapped with a black satin ribbon. Since the image was tall, I ended up adjusting the sketch so that it was a standard A2 sized card instead of a square one. It looked too squished together when I placed everything on a square to try it out.

Materials Used:
Zelda the Zombie stamp (Kraftin Kimmie Stamps); white cardstock (Taylored Expressions); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic); Basic Gray and Basic Black cardstock (Stampin’ Up!); Recollections Halloween paper pad (Michaels); black satin ribbon (Target)

And, I couldn’t stop with just one. I made a second card using a different Kraftin Kimmie image, this time based on this week’s Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

I used the Pretty Poison image for this card. She was a perfect fit for the sketch’s large panel. I colored the image with Copic markers to coordinate with the purple striped Halloween paper I used to cover most of the cardfront. For some sparkle, I used a clear Stardust pen at the edge of her dress and for the fizzy bubbles coming from the top of her potion. A green scallop edged strip runs just underneath her feet. I wrapped some purple twine around the scalloped strip and secured it with a matching green button. The set’s “cocktail” sentiment is attached with some foam tape.

Materials Used:
Perfect Poison stamp (Kraftin Kimmie Stamps); white cardstock (Taylored Expressions); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic); Lavender Moon and Simply Chartreuse cardstock, Simply Chartreuse button (Papertrey Ink); scallop edge punch (Stampin’ Up!); clear Stardust pen (Sakura); twine (The Twinery); foam tape
