Happy Sunday, everyone! It’s time to share a one-layer card. One can never go wrong with a classic – Audrey Hepburn.
This card could not be more simple. Take out some watercolor paper, and spray with your choice of Distress Ink Stain & Distress Oxide Spray (my choices were Wilted Lilac, Spun Sugar, Seedless Preserves, and Picked Raspberry). Once this is dry, use Black Soot paint and sponge through a stencil. Cut a black border and place on your card.
After watching the enchanting magic brought to life by the Sizzix Tim Holtz Christmas 2023 release, I couldn’t resist immersing myself in the captivating world of mixed media.
Today, it’s my pleasure to introduce you to my dear elfin friend, Elara, who has embarked on a special mission to deliver a precious gift to you. With her favorite hat adorning her head and the warmest shoes on her tiny feet, Elara steps out into a snowy forest. Each step she takes along the wooden path is filled with care and boundless joy, for she carries something truly magical for you.
Happy Labor Day, everyone! It’s now STAMPtember….. woo hoo!
I had to delve into my digital image archive for this particular snapshot. After a long and grueling day at the Conjuring farm, Bethesda was utterly exhausted. The myriad of spells and the multitude of hauntings had taken their toll. She yearned for a moment of respite, a brief escape from the supernatural demands of her life.
And so, here she sits, nestled in her cherished cauldron of shimmering ooze. Beneath the moonlit canopy of ancient trees, she relishes the soothing touch of a gentle breeze, as the radiant full moon graces the night sky. This tranquil moment provides her with the solace she desperately needs, rejuvenating her spirit in the midst of her enchanting world.
Have fun with whatever you are making and enjoy the rest of your weekend
Hugs, Makira
Supplies used:
Paper: Whimsy Stamps 6×6 Haunte, Bristol Smooth Cardstock, Patterned paper from Parklane:Haunted Hallow;Black & Green from the stash

Happy Friday! So, check out my fire demon! He is a character in the movie Howl’s Moving Castle, voiced by none other than Danny Devito. 😁 I hand drew him and fussy cut him out. I didn’t go too crazy with the coloring—kept it nice and simple with my trusty Copics. For the background, I used Distress Oxide Sprays and watercolor paper. Pretty neat, right?

Happy Friday, everyone! Is it Halloween yet? Almost 😁🐈⬛🎃 Most of the time when working with the color orange, I am drawn to the Halloween vibe. This square card is a Tim Holtz mixed-media style that was truthfully very fast and easy to make.
