Happy Halloween

Well, this is the last of my Halloween cards.
I've had fun making them.
Now, on to Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This is a Bugaboo image.
They are having a design team call right now
so expect to see my application post in the next
few days. I had so much fun being a
Guest Designer for them that I'm going
to give it my best shot to try to land
a Design Team spot this time.
I absolutely adore their images.
As you can see in the label column on the right
side of the blog....I've made several cards
with their images :)
Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!!

PPRS "black" cat


I made this card with a
Prickley Pear Rubber Stamp.
An easy technique actually.
I stamped the cat on a piece of patterned paper
with Versamark ink then embossed it with clear
embossing powder. Then I took a sponge
dauber rubbed with black ink and rubbed in
circular motions around and over the stamped
image. After that I rubbed the image itself over
with a paper towel which cleaned it up and buffed it
out a bit making it pop off the paper. Now you
can see the patterned paper design in the background.
So easy!! Then I cut it out with nestabilities die and
finished layering my card. I tied the black ribbon
in a knot and thought, "that looks like a bat" so
there you go.....3 black bats to accent the card.
The "Goulish Greetings" sentiment is PPRS too.
This won't be the last time you see me use this
technique!

PPRS Jack-o-lantern

Have you seen the
This jack-o-lantern set is just
ONE example. There are several
others including butterflies :)
this set comes with the leaf that I used on my
card two posts down. There are these 2 faces that
you can put on them and there is two "scene" stamps
you can use as well. You just cut out the pumpkin using
the die on your cuttlebug (or similar tool) then
STAMP IT!!
How easy is that. No tedious cutting with scissors
the time consuming part is done for you with the die.
