SPOOKY TREE

I used the Spider Web doiley from SU, the Martha Stewart fence punch, Memory Box tree and Impression Obsession ghost.

THREE GHOSTS

BOO!

BACK TO HALLOWEEN

I used this card for the October "Artist's Choice" card swap in our Yahoo Group.  The little kitty in the pumpkin is from a Penny Black stamp which I colored with Copic markers and trimmed.  (Hint:  When cutting something very narrow like the whiskers, I put tape behind that portion of the image to keep it from tearing.)

The yellow and green papers are from Stampin' Up and the dp is probably something I picked up at Michael's years ago.

I will be scheduling Halloween cards today to appear through October 23 (except for the weekends).  If time doesn't permit any descriptions under the picture, please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

I'd love to read comments from you about any and all of my cards.  Thank you for stopping by!

CASING MICHELLE ZINDORF

We needed a masculine birthday card for someone who was turning 85 last Thursday. Masculine cards are always difficult for me...........so Pinterest was my source of inspiration once again.  I ran across a card that had been cased from one that Michelle Zindorf had made.  The technique they used was "direct to paper" using the ink pads.  I did not have good success doing it that way.  By sponging the colors on instead I was much happier with the results that I got.  

You can see Michelle Zindorf's card here:  Serene Silhouette – Tutorial #542 |

Instead of the silhouette image that they used, I pulled out one of the stamps from Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree.    I also drew some little birds into the "sky" and added some random dashes with a white gel pen to the "water".

This is a design I believe I will use again. It was easy and I was very pleased with the results.  What do you think?  I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for stopping by!
