Spooky Pumpkin

Come on, y'all, you know you've been making more than your share of Halloween cards right now, and besides, it's always fun to check out the Design Team's creations and get some fresh ideas!

 I've used an SK Digis image called Spooky Pumpkin for my DT Card today.

Where My Witches At? Tsunami Rose Style

It's so very easy to make beautiful projects like this when you have such great journal papers to work with.  

I've used the Witches Brew Journal Papers and basically embellishments for my
 Tsunami Rose
 Design Team Inspiration Card
 for you today!

I loved this image from the moment I saw it and decided to work my card around her.

I started gathering items I might want to use. 

 I don't work with sketches very often, I just kind of go with what hits me at the moment.

 Here's a close up.

I used a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" base of Kraft Paper and a 5 x 5 piece of glittered wall paper I had in my stash.  Both were hand distressed and then inked with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo.

IV

I trimmed and distress the sentiment and attached to each other with my ATG.

Halloween High

It's Friday - time for a new challenge at QKR!

The theme this week is Halloween Fun (#61)

 I've used the Trick or Treat digi #24245 and sentiment 15315 Halloween High for my DT inspiration cards for you this week.

Happy Birthday Tag

The new challenge this week at FOSTV (a Mark Hendrich's Co) is

Tags and Banners

I cut two tags (one blue,  5 1/2" and the green one 5") from the George and Everyday Shapes Cartridge with my Cricut and attached with my ATG. I added a bow and ribbon from my stash.

I've used the smaller of the two "blooms" in the Huge Blooms Stamp set 

which I heat embossed with Recollections Ebony Opaque Embossing Powder and added Solar Gold PeralEx Powder to the top of the flower, fussy cut and then sprayed with Goosebumps for some added dimension.  (The glitter was an accident)  

I stamped the tag with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the same stamp set with ColorBox Black Pigment Ink.  Added some lace flowers, leaves, dried baby's breath and some bling on a roll (Recollections) then added the flower with pop dots.

Stop by the challenge and check out all my fellow DT's inspiration for you this week.  I'm sure you find plenty of ideas for your gift giving and decorating needs.  Join in the challenge and possibly win one of the great stamp sets given away each week.

Good Luck and Blessings,

Anniversary Love

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for the new 

Anniversary Challenge

  (#93)

 at FOSTV

 (a Mark Hendrich's Co).

This is my first time trying the faux cloisonne stamping with embossing powders. 

 I really like the effect and it is so easy to do.

I used the October release

 Huge Blossoms 2013 

(the largest flower)

to stamp my image on a page torn from  a flower catalog with Versamark and then heat embossed with Recollections Clear Gold Sparkle Embossing Powder. 

 Then I fussy cut the flower.

After dry embossing a 5 1/4" x 4" dark purple piece of card stock with a Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls folder, attach a 6" piece of lace to the bottom of the panel with 1/8" score tape so that the bottom of the lace is even with the bottom of the panel. 

 Attach both to a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" (folded size) card base in white.  

Die cut the leaves with the Cricut picturesque set to your preferred size, distress with Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters Ink and Memento Pistachio Dye Ink.  

I roll my leaves with a tooth pick to give them some dimension then added them to my card with micro dot double sided adhesives.

Attach the fussy cut flower on top of the leaves using your ATG.

Stamp the "LOVE" sentiment (on the same dark purple scrap) from the

 Lotus Blossoms 2013 stamp set.

 with Versamark and heat emboss with the same gold embossing powder.  Cut with a Labels Twenty die from Spellbinders Nestabilities.  

Use the same die to emboss a piece of white and fussy cut on the outside distress with Memento LuLu Lavender Dye Ink and attach to the sentiment with foam tape. 

 Attach this to the card base with additional foam tape.

Finish the inside as desired.
