Cute Halloween voodoo dolls

 

Stitched from the shadows of ink and lace,
A curious smile on a burlap face.
Buttons for eyes that silently stare,
Holding a secret suspended in air.

Hi lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing some spooky cute ATC coins that I have created.

I just love these spooky little guys! these fabulous Hex pals are from 'byJ leeloo' over on Etsy.  

To create this coin, I have used these wonderful black damask papers from Danski digitals, I then adhered some little numbers and a black crow postage stamp from my own stash. I have also used a lot of grunge background stamps in black ink to give more interest to my atc coin.

For my second coin, I have used another sheet of paper from the same black damask paper kit and another hex pal from the same collection. I have also adhered a vintage bat postage stamp. Lastly I stamped some more grunge background stamps along with black ink to complete my coin.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own artist trading coins!

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den; I really appreciate your visit and lovely comments!

Gilded leaves fall

The final warmth of summer slips away,
As gilded leaves of autumn softly fall.
The fading light filters through the gray,
Amidst the rustic wood and shadowed hall.
The earth grows quiet, drawing inward deep,
While russet gold wraps branches overhead,
A textured world prepares itself for sleep,
With silent whispers where the summer tread.

The crow

The Crow drinks the secrets the stars let fall,
Answering a deep, unspoken call.
With wings of obsidian, sharp and still,
It bends the fog to its quiet will.

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a vintage Crow Tarot card that I have created.

To make my card, I have used this beautiful Crow Tarot card image from my own stash & dusky flower digital papers that I have created myself. 

I used kraft cardstock as a base. Next I adhered these fabulous halloween decay leaf papers from Cheryl Francis art & I also added a strip of weathered wood paper. I have also added some gold leaf to complete my Tarot card.

Sisterhood of crafters ~ frame it

Sisters ~ always together

 

Two spirits wrapped in ivory lace,
They move as one through time and space.
From morning tea to evening shade,

Their quiet bond will never fade. 

Like matching pages in a book,
Or mirrors in the way they look,
Where one resides, the other stays,
Inseparable through all their days.

The shifting seasons turn and spin,
But nothing breaks the world within—
Two sisters stitched in cream and white,
Forever in each other's sight

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing a vintage card that I have created using this stunning photograph of two darling girls, which, I would like to presume are sisters?! the photo is from my own stash that I collected somewhere along the way!

 I designed my card for this month's challenge over at Crafting from the art challenge. The theme this month, is as always ATG. We would love for you to join our challenge!

I have used these beautiful French antique lace papers from digital fit & I have also used this wonderful blue page from the vintage scrapbook paper collection. from Manu design studio.

Fading golden woods

 

The final warmth of summer slips away,
Leaving russet gold and long shadows.
The earth grows quiet, drawing inward,
To whisper a slow goodbye.

Where the roots run deep

She waits behind a veil of stone,

where silent, climbing ivy grows.

A secret kept, a grief unknown

that only fading twilight knows.

The keyhole rusts beneath her gaze

the crumbling marble cracks and sighs.

A ghost of long~ forgotten days,

trapped deep behind those hollow eyes.

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing a card with a serene theme. I have used this stunning Weathered statue image from Cheryl Francis art. 

I have also used these wonderful vintage heritage & vintage scrapbook papers both from Manu design studio.

Once I had layered all the papers, I then used a crackle grunge texture stamp along with black ink.

 Next I added a vintage lock and some vintage creeping ivy images. To finish my card I created some word labels using some torn strips of burlap paper & added some text.

I hope that I have inspired you to create your own vintage cards!
