The Raven

 Hey there - popping in quick to enter the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Things with Wings

Gem of a Challenge Week 19 - Anything Goes

Polkadoodles Week 39 - Anything Goes

Digi Choosday Week 39 - Anything Goes

We Love 2 Create Challenge 9 - Anything Goes


I created my background by using a piece of corrugated cardstock that I recycled and sprayed with Distress Sprays, Oxide Sprays, and Mica Stains.  I then stamped my texture stamps (Hero Arts) and the raven stamp (Globeland) directly on that and matted it on a piece of black cardstock.  I never took a pic but I then framed this in a really pretty frame and it was a birthday gift for one of my favorite friends. Peace.

Take a Deep Breath

Trying to get ready to take off for a little 2-night trip tomorrow, so I'm just posting quick for the following challenges:

AllSorts - Anything Goes

Crafter's Cafe - Anything Goes/Optional Include an Animal

Classic Design Challenge - Anything Goes (optional Autumn/Fall)

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

Path of Positivity #123



I created my background by using Distress Inks on watercolor paper and then rubbing a baby wipe all over it, it gave it a "textured" look.  My stamps are from Tracey Hey Designs, I used Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I used some Stickles on the heart, then a heart eyelet and finished it off with a ribbon from Stampin' Up! that I found in my stash. Peace.

Have a Wicked Time!

 I have the best husband in the world.  :)  We've been super busy preparing for our event for the last few weeks and he surprised me last night by telling me he booked us 2 nights away this week in Saratoga, New York!  We have a fifth wheel camper that we haven't had a chance to take advantage of much, so I'm totally excited at the thought of 2 nights away with no responsibilities!!!  I'm bringing my new Stephen King book and just relaxing the entire time.  I cannot wait.

Anyway, for today I have a cute little Halloween gnome card to share and I'd like to enter it into the following challenges:

A Blog Named Hero - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Anything Goes

AllSorts- Anything Goes

We Love Stamping - Hand Coloured Image/Anything Goes

Inkspirational:  Headwear



I created my background by spraying some Tim Holtz Mica Stains on black cardstock for the card base, then used some Distress Inks and water and more Mica Stains on watercolor paper, then stamped some Hero Arts texture stamps all over it.  I stamped the Halloween gnome from the Gnome-O-Ween set at Unity Stamps, colored him with alcohol markers, fussy-cut him out and attached with foam dimensional tape.  Sentiment is from Woodware Craft Collection.  Peace.
