Colorado Craft New Release Blog Hop - Halloween Big and Bold


Hello Friends! Big and Bold Halloween have now been released!! My favorite line of stamps at Colorado Craft Company, next to the Anita Jeram Stamps, are the Big & Bolds. Super-duper excited to see them released with Halloween themes!

You may have arrived from the ridiculously talented Amy Young, but if not, feel free to start at the beginning with the blog of Adrienne Kennedy CCC.



This is the Big and Bold Witch's Broom set that comes with a giant broom, and several different sentiments. What I like about the sentiments is that you definitely get more than a "Happy Halloween".



I combined two of the sentiments on this tall slimine. The "Halloween Greetings" sentiment font is beautiful, and just like the font on the turn-of-the-century postcards that I collect. 

The long secondary sentiment is very unique and looks great next to the giant broom. This would be a good one to stamp inside a card, as well.



I die cut a circle and blended some yellow inside for the giant moon. Then put the circle on top of the moon for a mask and started blending several different colors of the pinkfresh blue inks.


I loosely colored in three different colors of brown on the broom, and ended with some ink spatters. 

You know how tall slimline cards are, love how well this giant broom image fills all that space!


Speaking of slimline cards, the stamps in this set are meant for use on a horizontal slimline card, as the title of the set is Lovely Legs Sitting Witch Slimline. But of course you can use it quite well on a traditional A2-sized card too!


The only modification I made was in "HALLOWEEN", where I split the word into two pieces in order to make it fit on a landscape A2 card. I appreciate the open space inside the letters. It's my favorite font, as I like coloring in the open spaces.


I added some bones from the Witch's Broom set to fill that upper left corner space. What makes me happy is how it all seems to fit perfectly with the witch sitting on the words.

Giveaway!
 
We'll give away one of each of the new stamp sets to randomly chosen winners, 9 in total. They will be picked from the comments left on the blogs in this hop, and on the Instagram posts for this hop. Winners will be randomly selected by 3C and announced on their blog on Thursday October 7th. Good Luck!
 
I'm now pleased to send you to the blog of Jasleen Kaur!

Thanks for stopping by!
