Halloween Bobblehead Mini-Card Set

So far I have spent the weekend totally updating my etsy site.  But yesterday I did take the time to create these little Halloween Mini-Cards.  They were so much fun to color!  I have to say that I am really liking the smoothness of the X-Press It paper with my copic markers.  Besides the high price...my only complaint is that sometimes it gets a little sticky spot if I use a lot of ink blending.  Like if I go back over a spot over and over again.  Since I am still experimenting with the different brands of paper for copic markers-I would love to hear from everyone-what brand works good for you?

These adorable little Halloween Bobbleheads are digi images from Bugaboo Stamps.  I bought seven of them in a pack last year and just hadn't gotten around to playing with them yet.  But yesterday I printed them out. 

Needing an eighth image-I found the Bobble Head Kid Kitty.  She seemed perfect for Halloween.  I paired the images up with some paper from DCWV (the Midnight Spell Stack). 

For those that are interested here are the copic colors I used:

For skin-E50, E13, E11, E00, E000 and R20 (The lightest colors for Dracula, the darkest for the Devil and some rosy cheeks for the Kitty Cat and the Princess.  For Frankenstein see the greens below!)

Whites-E50, E41, E40
Greens-YG25, YG23, YG13
Blacks & Greys-C9, C7, C5, C3
Purples-V17, V15, V12
Oranges-YR68, YR15
Blonde Hair-Y28, Y26, Y21
Brown Hair-E37, E35

Flower Cards

These cards were inspired by a challenge by Card Positioning Systems.  I used some digital flower stamps I found through Free Digital Stamps on Friday through the Rusty Pickle.  All of the digis are now free!

I made the Daffodils Card first and I ended up loving it so much I immediately made another!  I plan to make a few more for a card set-Just need to get more of this shade of kraft paper!  I'm thinking maybe purple hydrangeas and something in blue...

I plan to enter these cards into the following Challenges:

I really enjoyed the challenge of making something simple.  I have to admit I usually create cards with lots of layers and techniques...  It was amazing how easy these cards were to create.  I just printed out my flower image on to Kraft paper that I cut down to letter size.  Then I cut out the card and rounded the corners.  I colored the flowers using my prismacolor pencils and a blender.  I stamped my sentiment and then added a little crystal stickles to the inside of the flowers for a little extra oomph!  Here's a close-up...
