Poison Pen and Harry potter

Morning and hope you are all well!I was invited to be a GDT at The Male Room and the challenge is "Inspired By A Film."
The first card was commisioned and obviously Harry Potter themed-the images were from Google/B.paper and spiders weds cut from the paper have been in my stash for a few years!The metal circles I have no idea were they were originally from but thought they fitted well,silicone gel between the layers.

The second one using my stamps from The Artistic Stamper(doodled round the edges),the background paper cut with a die-cut frame from Gummiapan was craeted with Brushos,texture stamps from Lisa Horton and lines made with a ruler and Sharpie.The next backing paper is one of my Eco papers(boiled watercolour paper and garden leaves) and then the black card was splattered with Aztec paints/stamps and scrap of alphabet paper from stash--inspired by Poison pen film 1939.

So clever Carol, it was good to see you as Guest Designer with us at The Male Room, these are wonderful choices of films and beautifully done work. The recipient will be thrilled with the HP card I'm sure.
I loved the idea of your boiled eco paper and good to see it on the second, with lots of fab techniques. Faith DT TMR

What fabulous cards! You have really captured the masculine look with the he Harry Potter design and I love backgeound colours and stamps that you used to create the second one too 😁. Thanks so much for joining us at Try it on Tuesday! J 😊

MaryH said...

Two great cards for a Harry Potter fan. I wouldn't have had a clue as to how to start a request like this. Looks like marvelously themed details, and I like how you've added those pen motifs on #2. Also looks like you were able to use some more of that wonderful 'leaf paper'. Haven't had a chance to try that technique yet, but I love it on your cards. TFS & happy wkend. Hugs

Donna Ellis said...

Oh wow, congratulations on the GDT spot, very well done.

Two great cards, love the Harry Potter themed card. I especially love all of the elements you have bought together to create this card, spot on.

Your second card is also amazing, glade to see that you are making use of your Eco Papers. Great theme, I could be off to raid my old stamp collection.
