Sweet Halloween

I love making Halloween cards, though I don't think I have actually sent a Halloween card ever.  Hmm.

This card was made using the trio cupcake image from Impression Obsession's "Inner Witch" set.  I stamped the image onto X-Press It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black dye.  I colored the image with Copic markers.

I framed the image with black cardstock and placed on a panel of kraft.  The sentiment is also from Impression Obsession.  It is from the set "An Apple A Day" and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black. A ribbon was added as the final touch for this card.

I made this card for the current Impression Obsession challenge "Colors of Fall".  I was so thrilled to win the last challenge that I must say, I'm hooked! 

Happy Fall Y'all

Happy Weekend!  I hope you have something fun planned on this gorgeous fall Saturday.  I have a card to share with you...

I made this card by stamping the DRS Designs image of "Jumping into Autumn" with Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  I added a hint of crystal Stickles to the leaves to make them sparkle.

The DRS Designs sentiment is "Happy Fall Y'All Greeting" and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

I framed the scene with black cardstock.  The larger panel is a piece of light rust cardstock, with the DRS Designs "Woven Plaid"  using Adirondack Butterscotch dye ink.

Jump into the weekend!  It's finally here!

Inspired by Autumn

It's Thursday!  Time for another challenge on the DRS Designs Blog.  This week the challenge is "Inspired by Autumn".  How easy is that with all of the beautiful fall colors and wonderful autumn images and sentiments available from DRS Designs?!

For my card today, I stamped DRS Designs "Medium Silhouette Leaf"  onto watercolor paper with Kaleideacolor Autumn Leaves dye ink.  I used my waterbrush to move the color around on the leaf.  Then I cut the image with my detailed scissors.

I applied Versamark watermark to the leaf and sprinkled UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) over the leaf.  Using my heat gun, I melted this powder which left a clear shiny finish. I added a button and some hemp.

On a piece of kraft cardstock, I stamped the DRS Designs "Changing Leaves Thanksgiving Greeting"  with Versafine Onyx Black.

Additional layers on the card, include a darker piece of kraft cardstock, and kraft cardstock stamped with DRS Designs "Wooven Plaid" using Distress Ink Old Paper.  I paper pierced and faux stitched with a colored pencil.

Sure hope you are enjoying the fall leaves.  I love the colors this time of year.  I'm leaf obsessed!

Golden Autumn Leaf

For my card today, I stamped DRS Designs "Medium Silhouette Leaf"  onto watercolor paper with Adirondack Sunshine Yellow dye ink.  I picked up some dark orange ink from a Tombow marker and used my waterbrush to move the color around on the leaf.  Then I cut the image with my detailed scissors.

I applied Versamark watermark to the leaf and sprinkled UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) over the leaf.  Using my heat gun, I melted this powder which left a clear shiny finish.  I traced around the leaf with a Krylon gold leafing pen.

On a piece of white cardstock, I stamped the DRS Designs "Changing Leaves Thanksgiving Greeting"  with Distress Ink Wild Honey.  I used a corner punch on two of the corners, and framed it with black cardstock.

The larger card panel is kraft cardstock.  Three black brads complete this CAS card.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Moonlit Halloween

This week on the DRS Designs Blog, we are being challenged to incorporate a moon onto our creation.   Hope you'll join us for all of the fun. 

I stamped the DRS Designs image of "Silhouette Haunted House" with Versafine Onyx Black onto a beige cardstock.  I wanted to highlight the moon, so I colored it with colored pencils.  Some light sponging around the card panel was done with Marvy gray dye. 

The sentiment is also from DRS Designs and is called "Tiny Happy Halloween".  It was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black as well.

The mummy (new from DRS Designs) was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto white cardstock.  I cut around the mummy with my detailed scissors and added him the the spooky scene with pop-dots.  

I framed the scene with black, white and dak purple cardstock.  I stamped the DRS Designs "Polka Dot Background" with Versafine Onyx Black.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!

Totally Witchin'

 "Anything Goes" this week on the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog so you have no excuse not to join us.  The winner will get to select two free digital images from Sassy Cheryl. 

I love to make Halloween cards, so I went in that direction.  I printed the Sassy Cheryl digital image of "The Good Little Witch" onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.

Along the sides, I framed the image panel with black cardstock.  I placed onto a larger panel of patterned paper from K&Company.  I added a sheer black bow, black button and some Baker's Twine.

The sentiment, stamped with Versafine Onyx Black, is from My Favorite Things.

As always, thank you for visiting my blog.  It's October, so I'm guessing I will sneak in a couple more Halloween cards.  They are so fun!

Next week, make sure to join us for an exciting blog hop!  Sassy Cheryl is releasing some adorable images!  You won't want to miss it!
