friends til the end

Here's Whimsy Stamps new July CAS set Friends Til the End...it's creepy cuteness.

And stay tuned for Whimsy's killer July release available July 19th!

      

I colored both of these cards with a combination of distress ink watercoloring and distress crayons watercoloring.

For ghost girl's dress and the inside of the background I used distress inks to watercolor them.  For the torn paper I colored that using SU! wonder color crayons which are retired now BUT you can get a similar result using Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. 

Once I let everything dry I stamped the patch on her dress, the spider and sentiments with Versafine onyx ink.

The black and grey striped edge on the left side of the card is some washi tape I had in my stash.

Oh and I didn't do anything to her face or arm, I wanted a ghost white skin (lack of) tone because, well, she is a ghost after-all.

For the tattered teddy bears card I used distress ink to watercolor them then I used the scars/stitches/patch that come with the Friends Til the End set to "decorate" them.   The stitching around the edges is from a "must have" stamp set by Denise Lynn called "In Stitches" which compliments this and many of my other sets perfectly. 

I cut out each bear without leaving any white border and popped each up on foam tape for dimension. 

I stamped the spiders and the web then lastly sponged around the edges of each of the cards with some purple and blue ink.
