Something Wicked - Just Us Girls Challenge #747

Welcome! This month I'm honoured to be Guest Designer with Just Us Girls challenges and for this week it's a colour combo.


The chartreuse and grey immediately made me think Halloween but the light blue threw me for a bit of a loop, I must admit. Luckily it didn't take long before an idea came to mind that I hoped would work.


The drink was coloured with Copic markers then I sponged some oxide ink through a bubbles stencil to make it look a bit more 'evil potion'-esque, lol. I shaped the bubbles to give them roundness and added some shimmer to the drink, drips and bubbles. Does it look suitably wicked? 👻

Materials used:
  • stamps - Unravelled (Tim Holtz), Lovely Legs - Best Witches (Colorado Craft Co)
  • dies - Boos Cocktails, Olive Martinis (Spellbinders)
  • other - Copic markers, white gel pen, clear Wink of Stella, shaping mat and tool, Dimensionals, blending brush, MISTI, Bubbles stencil (Tim Holtz),  twisted citron and hickory smoke distress oxide inks, hickory smoke distress glaze, heat tool, gold POSCA pen, tumbled glass distress ink, hickory smoke archival ink, craft foam

We'd love for you to be inspired by this colour combo to create, and of course to share your creation! Do check out what the design team came up with over on the Just Us Girls blog.

Thanks for calling in.

Cheers
Kerry

What a fa-boo-less card! Great way to use the colors, indeed. Your drink looks absolutely wicked. What a great idea to use the bubble stencil to make it more-so. I love every detail especially the skull and eyeball skewer. Thanks so much for joining us as guest designer this month! Looking forward to all of your creations!

And this worked perfectly, Kerry! An overall fun design and the witches legs as the stem of the glass is a fun and fantastic touch!
