Hip Hip Hooray

One of the Sweet Spots released this month from Die-Versions is "Hip Hip Hooray".  I was in a restaurant in Franklin, TN and the first thing you see when you walk in is a sign that reads "Hip Hip Hooray - the Gang's All Here".  As soon as I saw it, I knew what I wanted to do with this new Sweet Spot.

This easel card used a lot of stamps (six in total) and quite a bit of masking, but it was fun to create.  I started off by cutting the sweet spot in fabric (just to see if it would work.  I didn't have any problems but you might if there were more intricate details.)  Then I scribbled a Spica glitter pen on the letters for a bit of bling.  Next I started stamping and masking to create my scene.  All of the images were stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo and colored with Koh-I-Nor woodless pencils for a more vintage feel.

The first stamp with the three ladies sitting in front and the man in the back to the right are by River City Rubber Works.  The man and woman image in the back on the left is from I Brake for Stamps and the trees/shrubs in the very back are by Beeswax Stamps.  The large watermarked sentiment is an older background stamp by Hero Arts and the "Happy Birthday you old bird" is retired stamp from Prickley Pear.  The rest of the sentiment was die cut from the Die-Versions Mister Micro font.

More fun goodness from the August new release by Die-Versions.   On the front, you will find Sweet Petites Wicked Witch and Dem Bones font (love this font) and peaking through the front window is the Sweet Petites Candelabra.

Just like the Dem Bones font can be used for more than Halloween (see how I used it on a sports mini album here),  I think the candelabra would be also be perfect for Christmas or any elegant event.  It all depends on how you decorate it.  (How cute would it be to use a little bits of holly intertwined around it?)  The curtains are rubber stamps from 100 Proof Press that I stamped onto vellum and adhered glitter to both sides.  The table (Doodle Factory) and ghosts (Prickley Pear) are also rubber stamps that I stamped with Versamark.  The front window was cut out using an old Sizzix Mover and Shaper.

If you haven't checked out the new Die-Versions August dies, you need to head right on over now, especially if you love Halloween.  :-) There are definitely quite a few on my shopping list.
