Witching You a Happy OWLoween

Happy Halloween.  You know what this card means, don't you?  I have to put my Halloween cardmaking to a stop.  I've had a good time for sure, but it is truly time to do a few Thanksgiving cards, Buckeye cards, and Christmas cards.

This card is featured on the A Jillian Vance Design blog.  I'm telling you what, I have had the most fun with the "Happy {OWL}oween" stamp set.  Sponged inks on the moon? Adirondack Sunset Yellow dye and Marvy Ochre dye. 

Have a great day, filled with lots of treats.

Sweet Christmas Dreams

My first Christmas card of the year!  (I must say goodbye to Halloween, which makes me kinda of sad).  

Such a sweet little digital image from Tiddly Inks graces this card.  It is called "Lilli Claire - Sweet Christmas Dreams".  I printed her onto X-Press It cardstock and onto masking film.  I put the mask over the image, and added a snow mask, and proceeded to sponge the background with Mama Elephant Mojito Pigment ink, which I think is the perfect "grinch green" ink.  I carefully removed the mask and colored the sweet image with Copic markers.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and is from Hero Arts.  Small flurries of snow are merely little dots of Copic White.

And there you have it.  Now, go over to the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  It is Fab Friday, don't you know?!  Such GORGEOUS creations again by the talented design team.

Mind Your Mummy

This owl cracks me up in her mummy costume!  I'm having too much fun playing with the A Jillian Vance Design stamp set "Happy {OWL}oween".  A very CAS design, but I think it is a spot on CAS design.  Just love it when that happens.

You can read about the details of this card on the A Jillian Vance Design blog today.

Mind you Mummy!!!

Trick or Treat

It's Tiddly Tuesday on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  This time we're getting our spook on with a Spookalicious challenge. This adorable digital image from Tiddly Inks called "Trick or Treat Wryns" seems to fit the bill nicely.

I kept the card very CAS since there is so much going on in the main image.  Just printed "Trick or Treat Wryns" onto X-Press It paper and colored with Copic markers.  A little shading happened with some Prismacolor pencils.  Some crystal Stickles helped to make the princess's crown sparkle.  I cut around the image panel with a Simon Says Stamp die.

Head on over to the challenge blog to get spooked by some AMAZING creations.  Sure hope you can join us!

Frankly, My Dear

So, I must admit.  This little Frankenstein owl is kinda cute.  He's just sitting on a branch admiring the full moon.  Did you all see that moon last night?  Beautiful!

This card uses the A Jillian Vance Design stamp set "Happy {OWL}oween".  I need to convince myself to switch over to Christmas cards, but this set might see some more action if I don't listen to myself.  Stay tuned.

You can read all about this card on the AJVD blog today.   Come back to this blog tomorrow for another super cute Halloween card.  I tell ya, I just can't stop them from coming. 

Witchy Pooh

All Fridays are fabulous.  This Friday has some extra fab to it because it is Fab Friday over on the Tiddly Inks challenge blog.  Go check out how fabulous it really is.

I'm still making Halloween cards that will never be sent, LOL.  And I'm getting a little sad that the end of my favorite cardmaking season is near.  I'll see if I can sneak in a few more before the end of the month. 

This card features one of the new images from the Tiddly Inks two image pack of "Halloweeny Molly".  I printed the image onto X-Press It cardstock and onto masking film.  I made the background by sponging with Adirondack Sunshine Yellow, Adirondack Sunset Orange and Distress Ink Wild Honey.  Of course, I had to spray a couple squirts of water onto it.  I removed the mask and colored with Copic markers.  The bats are from an old $1 stamp, as is the sentiment. 

Happy Friday! Let's all have a FABULOUS weekend!  Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Fur-ever

Details about this card can be found on the A Jillian Vance Design blog today.  

Gracie was my Sloopy Dog's best friend.  For nine years, Gracie was an important part in all of our lives.  She will be indeed "Fur-ever in our hearts".  Prayers of comfort go out to my friend, Brenda.  

Go Buckeyes!

It's been great to be a Buckeye so far this football season!

It's Tiddly Tuesday again over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  This week's challenge is called "Happy Fall Y'all".  Most of my fellow design team members will be showing you creations with beautiful fall leaves.  Me?  You know my colors in the fall are scarlet and gray, LOL!

This card features one of the images from Tiddly Inks "Annie-Mega Pack".   I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock.  I then printed the image onto some masking film, and put over my first printed image.  I then stamped the block O image from A Jillian Vance Design with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I then removed the mask and colored the image with Copic markers.  A bit of crystal Stickles add some sparkle to the pom-poms.  A few scarlet and gray sequins complete this card.  The image panel was scored with a Scor-It. 

Go Buckeyes!!! Beat Indiana this week!

A Balloon for Hope

Over on the A Jillian Vance Design blog today, we are kicking off breast cancer awareness month.  My contribution is a card I created from the AJVD stamp set "Kelly's Hope" which was illustrated by Kelly Klapstein. 

(Can you tell I'm getting into reactivating Distress Ink with water?)

Continued prayers for the eradication of this horrible disease.
