TGIF!
It looks like I began the week with an ADFD Halloween card and here I am finishing the week with another one. This time around I printed out the gorgeous Bat Girl extra large so that she would make a big impact on my card. She has so much drama and mystery about her that I felt some pressure to do her justice. So papers were pulled and I love how the brown works on this Halloween card. I can imagine Bat Girl in her lair brewing up a potion or two, proving that you don't need a pointy hat to be a fabulous witch. What she did need was stylish eye makeup that glitters and glows like one of her magic elixirs and a posh purple coiffure. I'm so glad that I tackled a 'big head' again as I always love how they turn out. :)
Ok friends enjoy your weekend and I shall see you all again on Monday!

Hi there!
I'm shifting from Halloween to a more generic fall type card for today's post. This beauty is Silver Fairy from Whimsy stamps and I couldn't wait 'til spring before getting her on a card. So I paired her up with this vibrant fall colored paper by Basic Grey and even though she is called Silver Fairy on this card she is all about the gold. Looking at her arm and leg warmers I was inspired by the idea that it was bark peeled from a Paper Birch tree so that was the look I was attempting with my coloring. It's another simple card but that's not a bad thing at all. ;)
Ok, I've got to hurry up and get this day going.
Later gators!

Olo!
I didn't have a lot of time to get crafty and creative yesterday so I needed to find an image that would help me make a super quick card. That is when I remembered the absolutely spectacular Spooktacular set from The Greeting Farm sitting in my stash. I simply adore these little mini stamps and Pumpkin Head won the day to make it on this card. I stamped him directly on the kraft card base, partly because I wanted to speed up the creative process and partly because I wanted to play with a different look. I added the small treat bag from the Lawn Fawn Booyah set to his hand to help him gather candy during his night of trick or treating. The orange, black and purple color scheme came from the current Farm Fresh challenge which I am entering this card into. :)
Well thanks for stopping by.

Hello again!
Normally when I get one of these cute Lawn Fawn sets it is with the intention of using them more as accessories or supporting cast on a card featuring one of my big character stamps. But when I got the newest Booyah and Happy Harvest sets this scene came together and it didn't need anything else but the addition of a spooky Inkadinkado tree. I didn't really intend to make the entire card about this too cute to spook scene but I just kept stamping and masking, stamping and adding until there wasn't any part that I wanted to cut away to make room for my usual paper and embellies. So I didn't fight it and let this card just be what it is. For the sky background I played around with a watercolor brush pen that I filled with colorless blender rather than water. I die cut a big circle to mask off the moon and then I just used the brush pen to pick up the ink from a couple of my dark blue Copics and got a cool sketchy watercolor look. Getting super stampy like this doesn't happen a lot for me but I had a lot of fun creating this card and my favorite thing... that silly little spider that the ghosty is walking, it just cracks me up! :)
Okey dokey friends, time for me to split!

Good morning!
Yesterday afternoon I was cruising around all my favorite stamp shops and I saw that A Day for Daisies had a new Halloween release. So many little witches with their kitties, talk about total cuteness! Considering I live my life surrounded by my own clowder of black cats who was I to resist purchasing a couple of these digis? I settled on Little Witch Waiting to color up for my card today because the tiers of her dress would work beautifully with the violet ombre that I wanted to do which was inspired by the current ADFD challenge, 'Mucha love'. The touches of gold that I added to my card also come from the challenge inspiration photos. Clean, simple and pretty, pretty, pretty! :)
Ok friends, hope your week is off to a great start!

TGIF everybody!
I'm back with another Halloween card because we are officially in that time of year now. I decided to play along in the Kraftin' Kimmie Saturday challenge to use circles and even though in the end I only ended up using half a circle I'm hoping that it still counts. I also wanted to combine a new stamp with an older one so I grabbed Wicked Witch and put her with the cute pumpkin carving witch from the My Best Friends are Witches set (it must be sold out now 'cause I can't find it in the store to link). With just a bit of masking and a tiny alteration to Wicked's eyes so that she was looking down at her protege, I had a fab Halloween scene to color up. With Wicked's silver hair I can just picture her instructing this young witchypoo on the fine art of pumpkin carving among many other magical happenings. :)
Ok, I'm off for another fun Friday full of coloring.
Later gators!

Hi guys!
This post will be a quick one as I've got quite the day ahead of me. This simple little card was totally inspired by my having to pull out Pup Pup's fall sweaters a couple days ago. When the temperature cools down my Yorkie loves wearing his sweaters and after ten years he has amassed an eclectic wardrobe. So when it came time for me to sit down in my craft room yesterday I found this cute Sweater Pup digi from Some Odd Girl and I just had to color him up. Since he doesn't look much like a Yorkie I decided to make him a chocolate Lab instead. All I had to do then was give this sweet puppy a neighborhood to live in and this card was done. :)
Well friends I'm outta here. Thanks for stopping by!
