This stencil is called Flying Witch:

Fight Like a Girl

I have one more card for today - this one is for the following challenges:

Make My Monday #287 - Pink Card with Pink Ribbon

A Place to Start - AG/Relates to a Song (Fight Like a Girl by Evanescence)

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

I dug this pink zebra paper out of my stash and printed this image from Krista Smith to go along with the Pink Ribbon theme. I colored with Copics and used a stitched edge square nesting die to cut out. I finished it off with a pink satin ribbon. Peace. 

Mr & Mrs Skeleton ATC's

 Good morning! Only a few days left of September so I'm posting the last of my September release projects from:

This one is called Mr & Mrs Skeleton:

I paired it with the Magic Runes stencil for the backgrounds:

For my first ATC, I used Black Soot Spray Stain through the Magic Runes stencil on a scrap piece of previously distressed watercolor paper and trimmed it to ATC size (3.5x2.5"). I then applied Black Soot & Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Inks through the skeleton stencil and embossed with a sparkly clear embossing powder. I used a stitched edge oval nesting die to cut out and sponged the edges with black ink. I die cut the word EEK! out of a scrap piece of previously distressed silver cardstock:


For my next ATC, I didn't clean the stencil after using it above so I spritzed it with water and let it dry on a piece of watercolor paper. I trimmed it down to ATC size and sponged the edges with black ink. I applied Distress Oxide Inks through the skeleton stencil and embossed with clear sparkly embossing powder, die cut the letters for the word BOO from black cardstock and covered them with Black Stickles:


I'd like to enter my ATC's into the following challenges:

Halloween Cards

 I can hardly express how much I LOVE making Halloween cards! LOL  Let's just say anyone with a birthday anywhere close to Halloween pretty much gets a Halloween-themed birthday card! hee hee ;)

I have 2 cards to share today, this first one is for the following challenges:

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - AG or Use a Die (must use Penny Black product as focal point)

Cut it Up #365 - Orange and Black (must use die cuts)

Tic Tac Toe #302 (I used orange, plaids/checks, and pumpkins as well as die cuts, free, and embossing)

I used papers from Authentique and die cut the pumpkin, the tab with the sentiment, the corner spiderweb, and the deckled edge nesting circles (Mama Elephant). I stamped the owl (and sentiment) from Penny Black's Pumpkin Pals with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with Copics. Finished it off with a little bat brad. 

...............................

And my next card is for the following challenges:

Die Cut Divas - Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose

Paper Funday - AG/Optional Sketch (I did use the sketch!)

Colorful Options September - Color Board/Browns


I used all reused/repurposed scraps and backgrounds from my stash for this entire card - I had created 2 panels of the background piece so I die cut one using a deckled edge rectangle die and layered it on top of the spiderweb die (I had been using that as a stencil so it's layered up with lots of pretty inks and glitters). I followed the sketch with a die cut broom, crystal ball, and spider, adding a little sticker from a Tim Holtz sticker book. Peace.

Let's Brew Up Some Fun!

 Gloomy, rainy day today - we are in the middle of a nor'easter, so I'm just glad it's September and not SNOW!!! I'm going to spend the day in my craft room and throw on a pot of beef stew later, I make a badass beef stew if I do say so myself! Spending time in my kitchen is my 2nd favorite way to spend a rainy day!

I had a blast making the background for this scenic card below, which I'd like to enter into the following challenges:

Friends of Sweet November Weekly FB Challenge (create a scene)

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Make Your Own Background

AllSorts #859 - Anything Autumn

Passion for Markers - For a Child

Just Us Girls #842 - Stencil Week

I had so much fun making this background - I LOVE making night scenes and full-moon scenes! For this one, I started with my layering full moon stencil from Spellbinders. I used different shades of yellow Distress Oxide Inks on watercolor paper, continuing the yellow beyond the stencil edges to create the "glow". I then blended some Chipped Sapphire, Villainous Potion, and Black Soot around the rest of the card, going heavy on the black on the card edges. I die cut the fence from Kraft cardstock and stamped the sentiment (My Favorite Things) with Versafine Black, then embossed with a sparkly clear embossing powder. I printed out Flying with Charlie and & Drusilla's Bat from Sweet November Stamps, colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam tape. Peace.

EEK! Webby Leaf Stencil

I love the way Lindy's Magicals work with stencils - this is the Webby Leaf stencil from the September release at:


I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Make Your Own Background

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Just Us Girls #842 - Anything Goes Stencil Week

After I had used the stencil traditionally with black ink on it, I then spritzed it with water and lay it down on a piece of watercolor paper. I then sprinkled the magical Lindy's powders over it and spritzed again with water. I let it dry before I lifted up the stencil, then I attached some die cut spiders and EEK! sentiment. Peace.
