A Friendly Halloween Ghost

Happy Halloween!!!

I'm popping in with a friendly Halloween 'Hello'.  No tricks here - just treats!  I hope you are having a day filled with fun.

Today I'm sharing a cute ghost card using an image from Serendipity Stamps.  To create the background, I used a Textured Impressions Square Lattice Embossing Folder with Dusty Durango paper and ran it through the Big Shot.  It was then mounted to a latte card.  The top two layers were cut using the Spellbinders Decorative Labels Twenty-Two and Labels Twenty Two.  The perfect size for this square card.


The images were stamped in StazOn Black ink on a piece of glossy white paper.  The pumpkin was colored with markers and I lightly sponged Brilliance Pearlescent Beige ink around the ghost.  Kaiser bronze rhinestones were added to each corner.


The inside Halloween greeting was stamped in Dusty Durango and embossed with clear embossing powder.  A few spiders were stamped and accented with a black Spica pen.


I'm hoping to see some 'Treaters' this year.  Unfortunately, last year no one came to our home.

Thanks so much for stopping to visit with me today.

A Vintage Autumn Birthday

Hello friends,

Time has slipped away from me and I haven't posted in a while.  So many changes have taken place (both good and bad), but I will spare you the details.  The results have left me too busy to blog lately.

Today's card was created about a month ago for a September birthday.  I have always loved the Vintage Leaves set by Stampin' Up!


I started with a Java card layered with Old Olive.  The Naturals Ivory background paper was stamped with Watercolor Wash in Brilliance Pearlescent Beige.  The splatter was done in Crumb Cake (stamped off once) and Happy Day was stamped in Chocolate Chip. 

The pretty autumn leaves were stamped in Chocolate Chip, cut out using the SU Leaflets Framelits Dies and sponged with various inks.  They were popped up over a piece of 3/8" natural burlap ribbon.



Here is a peek at the inside of the card.  This leaf was sponged in Pumpkin Pie ink.


Autumn is my favorite time of year.  Falling leaves, long walks, warm drinks, the smell of apples and spice ...

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm hoping to get my fingers inky this week.
