Waffle Flower Card Challenge

September 26, 2021

Hey everyone. I’m joining Waffle Flower as a guest designer for the Waffle Flower Card Challenge this week. The theme for is Halloween. Let’s see your projects and make sure to tag Waffle Flower and use the hashtag of #WFChallenge2109. Now let’s check out the cards I made.

I’m so not a spooky Halloween person so my cards are more on the sweet side. I used the Waffle Flower Treat or Trick stamp set and the Waffle Flower Inky Stripes stencil for my first card. I kept my palette more on the pastel side to make it a non-traditional Halloween card. I colored the images with my Copic markers and fuzzy cut them out. A simple sentiment and a few stamped stars and this card was complete.

My second card is even a little sweeter. I used the Waffle Flower Paint Strokes stencil in the same color palette. This time I added some sparkle gel over the stencil to get my paint strokes to look like they are sugar coated. This was such a fun technique to try with this stencil. Once again I used the Waffle Flower Trick or Treat stamp set to add on the lollipops in coordinating colors and for my sentiment that I fuzzy cut to place in the middle of my card.

Look how beautiful those paint strokes are. They feel like they just could be sugar coated. Now that would be one tasty card. 😂😂😂

I hope you join us this week for the challenge. Don’t forget to post your Waffle Flower Halloween challenge cards on Instagram so we can see them. Make sure to tag Waffle Flower and use the hastag #WFChallenge2109. Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you back here soon.
