Witchy Pattiepoo


Hello Everyone, this is my design team
contribution for

The Theme this month is
HALLOWEEN OR AUTUMN

The digi stamp is "Witchy Pattiepoo"
from Pattie's Creations.

For my card, I started with the image and she is colored in all colored pencils with the exception of the accessories and accents which I used Glitter Gel pens by Kaiser that I wish the picture did justice.  They are perfect and the sparkle on the hat, top and skirt is just so cute.  I cut the image down and then edge it with Hickory Smoke distress ink.  I mounted that on a piece of lime green cs to frame it.  I cut a piece of designer Halloween paper from Recollections in purple as well as the embellishment tag from the same pad.  I mounted all of this onto a lime green side fold cs base.  I added lime green Neuvo drops into the corners for accent. 

I hope you have fun playing along with us this month and I wish you all luck in the challenge.

EYE Scream


It's another challenge at 
Stinkin' Inkers

The theme this month is
"THE EYES HAVE IT"

I went with a digi stamp from Oddball Stamps
I used both colored pencils and markers on the image. I then blended Blue Print Sketch distress ink blending from the outer edge towards the image.
The sentiment was stamped in white embossing powder on black cs and trimmed down.
I framed the image with black cs that was edged with an eyelet punch from Martha Stewart. I then added it to a purple designer paper by Recollections and added crystal studs in the corners.
All of this was added to a side fold black cs base.
Spooky!!   Oddball Art takes you there, very awesome!

As You Like It - Favorite Season and WHY - I love the Fall and everything about the Fall. Here in Virginia we have what is called Indian Summer where you still have the summer weather but without the intensity of the humidity.  I love Virginia's Color Change it is absolutely beautiful. I love all things Halloween (my house is glowing at night with witchcicles dangling from the gutters, ghosts and goblins and tomb stones and skeletons galore as we speak) It's Fall y'all. 


Happy Crafting

Ursula

Hello everyone
I have an amazing challenge for you from
The Crafters Cafe Challenge.

This challenge the theme is Black & White and one other color.

The three sponsors for this challenge are
Scribbles Designs
Cute as a Button
Wink Wink Wink


For my card, I used a digi stamp from Cute as a Button, Ursula.  My intent was to just use the purple but I felt the eels needed their show.  I used both color pencils and markers on the image.
The printed paper is from DCWV and is all glitter.
The image was just down and framed with black card stock and edged in hickory smoke distress ink.  Ursula was then bathed in Wink of Stella to give her as much glitter and shine as the background paper.
I added a white satin ribbon and a black glitter acrylic dot to the corner.
All of this added to a black top fold cs base.


I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may please:
QKR Stampede  ATG
Polkadoodles  ATG
Color Crazy ATG
Addicted to Stamps  ATG
Crafty Girls Challenge- ATG

For my card, I used colored pencils on the image and they used glossy accents over the eyes.  I then framed it with purple cs and rounded the corners.  I cut the spider web with black cs and a Recollections die.  The spider paper cs is from Recollections as well (that pad was a good sale find last year).  The satin ribbon was knotted and pulled across the front.
All was then mounted onto a dark grey cs side fold base.
