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.

Challenges:

Just Us Girls #791 - ATG with Dies

Two Old Bats - ATG Halloween

I.D.E.A.S. - D is for Dies

Easter Crocuses

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

I am so blessed!

A very sweet and dear friend recently shared some of her stash with me.

Among the MANY things she sent were these Crocus Dies that I had been

drooling over wanting for quite some time.

I went right to work with them...

I had some scraps of Fresh Freesia cardstock laying around.

I die cut the two largest crocuses and a couple of buds from the Freesia and

again from green since the leaf dies are connected to the flowers.

(Personally I think they should be separate so there wouldn't be as much waste.)

Just sayin'.

I sponged some ink on the die cuts and shaped the flowers a bit before

putting them together.

The frame die was in the same gift box and I was delighted to see that these

sweet images of spring fit in there perfectly.

And a twofer....

This time I CASEd the layout from another friend's card that I have been enjoying.
