...a little more Cicely and Gracie...


Aside from the main images in the Cicely and Gracie sets there are lots of little supporting doodads that you can use - here I have used a separate pumpkin lantern stamp, the little bubble bursts and an invitation sentiment to whip up a few party invitations.

I used the large gingham from Gingham & Co. to make a smart patterned background.

I made tiny postage stamp frames from the newly released Spellbinders Postage square dies!!! See? lovely shape!

By the way, if you've just happen-chanced upon us, we will be releasing two little Halloween Vintage stamp sets on Monday! pop back tomorrow for some more samples and further details!


You can see below how I stamped the pumpkins and then coloured them with copics. I then stamped some bubble bursts around them before attaching little mini frames that I die cut with Spellbinders postage stamp square dies (to be widely available soon) and some classic square dies. Aren't they dinky? Quite quick to make, not much colouring and a wee bit of sponging!



Hope it tickles!!

    So cute Claire!!! You make me want the set just to have a Halloween party (which I don't see myself having since my kids are older now!)
    but Cicely is on my list: love her, love the bubble bursts, the bat, the moon, and everything that you've shown so far!!) Hugs!!!

    These are gorgeous Claire! again! Lol! How do you do your sponging? I can't remember if you have already done a tutorial on sponging, but if you have could you re-post it or link back to it? Your work always looks so warm and dimensional. Xx
