Happy Birthday

 Hello there!  Today I'm sharing a card that I created for two different challenges, one is the Just Add Ink Challenge #282 with it's pretty color combo and the second is CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #143.  

For my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets, Just Smile (for the flowers & leaves) and Embellished Elegance (for the happy w/coordinating die and birthday).  I used the colors, raspberry fizz, melon mambo, pretty in pink and going gray and randomly stamped the top quarter of a piece of watercolor paper with the different flowers and the leaves.  Next I die cut two of the happy die from basic gray card stock and stamped one with the coordinating stamp, then glued the two together for some added thickness to the die cut piece and then added it to the front of my card.  

 You can see in the pictures below that I added pale pink iridescent sequins throughout the stamped flowers, it looks prettier in real life.

Hope your week is going well!

You're a FANG-TASTIC friend

Hello and welcome!  It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!

I'm on a Halloween roll with my stamping and I'm having fun!  For my card today, my inspiration was not only this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch but also the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge (love the bats).  I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Spooktacular and some Doodlebug Designs paper to create a Halloween Friend card.

 You might be able to see from the photo below that I popped up the bat at the top of the card with foam tape and added some glitter pen to each of their wings along with some silver stars and sequins to give my card some sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by!

You are SPOOKTACULAR!

 Hi there, crafty friends!  Happy World Card Making Day!  I'm popping in today to share a card that I created using this week's Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #206.

For my Halloween card I started out with a white card base, then added a panel of lavender lace card stock.  On top of the lavender, I added a piece of watercolor paper that I watercolored with crushed olive distress ink.  Then I used my circle dies to cut out two circles in black card stock and one from designer paper and then added my fun stamped, die cut and colored images from the Lawn Fawn stamp set Spooktacular, popping up the little ghost.

I hope you're able to have some crafty time for yourself today!

Trick or Treat

 Hi there!  Happy October! It's been a while but I've been busy working on other projects, some of which I'll be sharing later here on my blog.  Today I've got some fun Halloween Lawn Fawn cards to share using the stamp sets and dies from, Party Animal and Holiday Party Animal.

 I was inspired by this week's Paper Players Sketch Challenge #264 for my first card and The Card Concept Challenge #40 for both of my cards.  I scaled my card down to a 4 1/4"x 4 1/4" card and colored the cute fox from the Party Animal set using my Copic markers.  I also used two of the pumpkins from the Happy Harvest set and the Trick-or-Treat is from the Spooktacular set.  After coloring I added a little Glaze pen to his eyes and nose and some glitter pen to the purple on his witches hat.  The designer papers I used on both cards is from a Doodlebug Designs pack.

 The second card that I created is a shaker card and boy I know it's been a while since I've made a shaker card but this one was extra sticky so I had to do some fussing around to try and get it right, lol.  I stamped, die cut and colored the two animals, pumpkin buckets, witches hat and candy and added all of that into my shaker along with some Halloween colored sequins.  Once finished, this really was a fun card with all of the shaker bits and cute animals.
