New Release! Witches Brew at DoubleClick Skittles

(This is 1 of 3 projects posted today)

DoubleClick Skittles is announcing a brand new release today called, "Witches Brew".  We're all just a little excited with these fun new colors called, Pumpkin, Witch and Frog Legs (they made a comeback!).  

To celebrate the new release, I've made a Spooky Fun Luminary that features the new Witches Brew Skittles, as well as the Black Skittles.  

The owl image is from Miss Kate Cuttables and I've added black skittles for the eyes.  Look at the skittles across the bottom.  Aren't they gorgeous?!  I placed a strip of  May Arts glittered ribbon around the bottom then glued them with clear glue.

To create my luminary, I heat embossed a tree stamp from Unity Stamps, then used the watercolor smooshing technique with my vellum paper.   I swiped my Tombow Dual brush pens on an acrylic block (one color at a time) and spritzed with water, then placed my vellum randomly over the wet color.  Allow to sit a minute or so, then blot excess color with a paper towel.  Repeat until you have all the desired colors on your paper.

The vellum has a tendency to ripple when wet, so when it dried, I rolled it around a bottle and let sit awhile to reshape itself, then adhered the back edge with a strip of Scor-Tape.

New releases have a tendency to sell out quick, particularly the seasonal ones, so don't wait, and then come crying to me later thinking I can hook you up!  Haha!  Carri has 3 different price options for this set, starting at an amazeballs price of $3.75 for the 3 pk set.  That includes free USA shipping and PAYPAL accepted.  You really can't beat that.

Here's my luminary all lit up with a candle inside.  Isn't it spooky fun and pretty?  I really do love it.  The Witches Brew Skittles are the PERFECT color for this.  You'll find these colors will coordinate with many of your Halloween and Fall projects.

Reminder - Don't miss the Doubleclick Skittles Challenge!

If you missed the big announcement on June 24th, here it is again:

Welcome to Challenge # 25 here at DoubleClick Skittles!  

I'm so happy to have been selected for the Doubleclick Connection Design Team!  Everyone has been so welcoming and I know I'm going to love it here.  A quick little something about me:  I'm married with a 13 year old son and between the 3 of us, we play guitar, piano, saxophone, a little mandolin, bass violin and drums.  We all sing as well.  In my downtime, I love to whip up a gourmet meal with help from my son who also loves to cook.  I'm a freelance craft blogger, writing the occasional craft article, Guest Design occasionally and last summer, was the Guest Blogger and Show Photographer for the Craft and Hobby Association's Paper Arts trade show in 2014.  To "pay the bills", I work for an agency that serves children with disabilities.  And, that's enough about me!

Now, if you arrived from Carri's page, you are in the right place. 

The Challenge?  Show us your Craft Space!

Here's the line up in case you get lost along the way:

Carri from DoubleClick

Terri from Waving my Wand

Kim From Cupcakes, Cards and Kim

Georgiana from Carson's Creations

Taunya from Daisies Girl

Payel from BeauMonde Designs

Challenge Date: June 24 - July 7

This is our former guest bedroom and now, craft/nostalgia room.  It doubles as my hubby's nostalgia and record collection.  He has the closet and some shelf space, I have the rest of the room, which explains massive stuff everywhere! 

The ugly wallpaper?  Yeah, just ignore that....another project for another day, haha. 

Here's my little crafty corner of the room.  My refurbished student desk and some fun storage panels that I recently made to have better access to the products I use the most.

This is the bookcase where I store my ribbons, stamps, punches and collection of paper.  Lots of embellishments and inks, as well.

This little nook sits right next to my desk and is where I keep my favorite stacks of paper and adhesives, close at hand.  That's one of my hubby's hand-me-down pieces of antique furniture. 

This is another little spot where my husband and I duke it out.  Crafting versus nostalgia.....

I think crafting is going to win!  That decorative Kaisercraft house?  I made that last year and it houses a lot of my little embellishments, such as sequins, buttons, etc.

And, finally, here's the view from the doorway.

Now, head on over to visit Kim......



I'm giving away a little blog candy as well today.   A brand new package of Spellbinders Golden Glow ink from the Celebra'tions collection, 5 Adornit Art Play Paintable coloring images from the Hello Collection and a 12" piece of "handmade with love" May Arts Ribbon from my personal stash.
