Halloween Fun

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I have some more Halloween to share.

First up is a haunted house.

Jack and I did a larger one a couple of years ago and gave it to Jack.  I was excited to find

another unpainted one at the thrift store this year.  This one is smaller but lights up.

I wish the glue didn't show through the ghost.  I'm hoping that makes him spookier.

Next up are three cute Halloween cards that I stamped the last time that

Nance came to visit.

All three were colored with Tim Holtz watercolor pencils.

It was my first time using the pencils and I love how they blend.

No dies for these but they were easy to fussy cut.

I hope you have a fun Halloween!

I Gotta Crow

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Actually my friend has a crow and she let me borrow it to use for 

Halloween cards for the grandsons.

Here's the first one...

I die cut the crows from black glimmer paper and assembled them.  The branches

were cut from plain black cardstock.

All the backgrounds were in the smooshed and splashed background stash and

embossed with my spiderweb embossing folder.  (Always a favorite at Halloween.)

Here are the other two....

I used a background done with Lindy's Magicals. It has a nice shimmer.

The spiderweb was swiped with my white ink pad to make it stand out more.

and the final one.....

This background was pretty light so I swiped the web with a black inkpad.  The 

sentiment was embossed with some Lindy's sparkly orange embossing powder.

All the eyes are punched from a snippet of gold foil.

CAS for JUGS

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's my final week Guest Designing with the Just Us Girls Challenge.  It has been such fun 

joining in with this lovely group that has welcomed me so warmly.  

Thank you for the opportunity to join your fabulous Design Team this month.

The challenge this week is....

I apologize to those who don't like spiders.  But this guy is so cute! 

He's not scary at all!

He's hanging in the middle of the card and needed something to help him

stand out.  I had a new pumpkin die set and used it to cut a stencil of the outline.

After ink blending some orange ink through the stencil, I used the dies that are

for cutting layers for the pumpkin to trace around with a colored pencil to

give the pumpkin some dimension.

I hope you'll go to the JUGS website and see what the Design Team has done

to inspire you.  Once inspired, use the center of your card to make something to

share over there.

Challenges:

Just Us Girls - Use Just the Center of Your Card (remember to keep it CAS)

Spooky Serenity

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Switching gears with a Halloween card.

 

The Penny Black Saturday Challenge is always Anything Goes with a

different option each  month.  I love the challenge of the option but this month's

Spooky challenge almost stumped me.

Then I saw this Serenity die in my collection and thought I could make it work.

I found a background that I think had been done with Lindy's Magicals. That

bit of blue you can see in the background has a nice shimmer.

Another background of watercolor worked for a big ole full moon.

I had to dip into some other brands of dies to get the bat and ghosts.

Challenges:

Penny Black Saturday - ATG/Option Spooky

Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge - ATG Halloween

Card Recipe

Stamps:  

Ink:   

Paper:  Black Licorice (MFT), Watercolor (Strathmore), Mixed Media (Strathmore), Naturals White (ret SU)
