Hocus Pocus

Good morning everyone!

A new challenge starts today over at Cardz 4 Galz and the theme is Let's go Digital... so you need to use a digital image or papers on your project! :) 
My card features a cute little witch from Meljen's Designs... unfortunately her digital images are no longer available to purchase. It's colored with Copics, the sentiment is from Crafty Secrets and all of the edges were distressed. The lime green background was created with the Stampendous Haunting stamp and VersaMark ink and the orange panel was embossed with a Darice folder. I used Tim Holtz dies for the tiny bats, Simon Says Stamp dies for the stitched rectangles and to finish it up I added some purple gems.

I hope you can join us and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog for more inspiration.

Add Texture!

Good morning everyone!

 It's time for a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times and this week it's my turn to host the challenge and I chose the theme...

ADD TEXTURE!

Any type of texture will do- fabric, twine, lace, embossing, texture paste etc...

 And remember you don't have to make a card... your project can be anything at all, as long as you follow the theme! :)

I decided to make a 5 x 7 birthday card for my wonderful Father-in-Law and it features the adorable Fisher Moose image from Meljen's! It's colored with Copic, the sentiment is computer generated and the papers are from Authentique. For the background I used the Burlap stencil from Tim Holtz and some modeling paste, for the circles I used the Confetti stencil from Heidi Swapp, sponged in VersaMark ink and then embossed them with Aged Ivory Frantage. I cut the fish (CB die) and button (MFT die) out of corrugated kraft cardstock, distressed everything with Vintage Photo Distress ink and to finish it up I added a little raffia and a screw brad. Whew! A lot going on with this card but it was so fun to make and the best part was... my FIL loved it!

 Now head on over to the challenge blog and check out the gorgeous creations by the other team members!

Thanks so much for stopping by... I will see you tomorrow!

All Natural...

Happy Friday everyone!  
I'm back with my second card for today- please scroll down to see my DT post for Creatalicious.  

It's Alphabet Challenge time and today's letter is... N for Natural! You just need to include something natural on your creation like... raffia, dried flowers, wood, sand, etc. 
My card features the adorable Victorian Goth Girl from Meljen's! She colored with Copics, the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps and the papers are from American crafts. I distress everything including the wooden heart button & hemp cord with Vintage Photo distress ink. I cut the flowers out with a CB die, scrunched them up a bit and then added a small wooden bead to finish them off.

I'm very happy with the way this card turned out... the deep rich colors remind me of fall... I LOVE fall- it's my favorite season and it will be here soon! :)
