Another Halloween card

I made this a few weeks ago and never uploaded it. I had gotten some new toys at Priceless and decided to play right away....I love this purple tulle!!! The image is from Great Impressions and has very little coloring on it, so it made up very quickly. I'm pretty sure the papers are by Echo Park. I used a Coluzzle to cut a small frame around the image, stopping when I got to parts of the image. Then I went back and fussy cut around the parts of the image that went over the frame. Nothing too fancy here, but it was fun to make. The sentiment I put on the inside says "If the broom fits, fly it!" and is also from Great Impressions.

Witchin' Halloween Challenge

Totally Stampalicious is having a Halloween challenge this week and they have really gotten into the "spirit" of things. They are offering lots of great incentives for participation this week, so head over to check it out. The regular prize is bigger and there's a way to get the digi file for the Witch Brawd image I used for my card for free!!!
I used one of the sentiments, the witch, and the cauldron images for my card and colored them with pencils and Gamsol. The background was made by using a portion of a piece of scrapbook paper that I got back when I had first started stamping. It's been sitting in my Halloween collection for years!! I added some Stickles to some of the branches and some of the witch's clothing. I popped up the images with dimensionals and that's it for this spooky Halloween card. 

This card evolved from the covered slide frame that I had made last year and never used. I used papers from the same  6x6 stack to make the background...a sheet of Basic Gray Eerie. The pumpkin image is from Heartfelt Creations and cut out with a Nestabilities pumpkin die. The little bat in the corner of the slide is from a piece of dimensional ribbon that I picked up at Priceless.
I was also playing with some other cute little papers and matching stamps and made up some bookmarks for my kids at school.

The images were colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and then spritzed them with Caramel Apple Glimmer Mist.

Bring on the texture!!!

I just love all the wonderful embossing folders that are available to add texture to your creations and the challenge this week at Totally Stampalicious was a great excuse to use some of them!!! The challenge is to use at least two textures on a card. I used TS's Witch Brawd to make my card. I added texture to several of the layers using embossing folders. The designer papers from Graphic 45 were dry embossed and then sponged with Creamy Caramel ink. I then ran a scrap of the purple card stock through a Halloween themed embossing folder and cut pieces of it into triangles to embellish the corners. I added Star Dust Stickles to the spider webs to add a little more texture. The sentiment layer is popped up for dimension and I addded Graphite Stickles to the edges for texture and sparkle. When I was done, I misted the whole thing with Caramel Apple Glimmer Mist. The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.

Tilting Pumpkin

Looking for the Totally Stampalicious challenge card? Scroll down to second post for today.

 I made this card for the technique challenge on Splitcoast Stampers this morning which was to make a tilt card. It was super easy and turned out to be a cool technique I will be using again! It's kinda like a slider card where the image rolls across the front of the card, but in this case, it just jiggles in one spot. The pumpkin on my card jiggles around in place like he's shaking and trying to scare someone. I really wanted to cut into some of the new papers I got at Priceless this weekend, so my card is Halloween themed. Also got to use one of my new border punches....hehehehehe!! I'm so addicted to these things!!

Spooky Cupcakes

I actually made this card a couple of weeks ago at the ScrapPink crop. Things have been so crazy lately that I am just now getting around to posting it.  I just love this spooky cupcake stamp by Impression Obsession. I colored the image with a mixture of Copic, Prismacolor, and Stampin' Up! markers. the designer papers are from Basic Gray's Eerie collection. The lacy trim is from a roll I picked up at JoAnn's. When I added it to the card, it really reminded me of Lily Munster....remember that crazy old show?
