Owlakazam!

 Good morning!  Popping in quick to enter the tag below into the following challenges:

Whimsy Stamps October Challenge - Halloween

The Little Things #09 - Pumpkins and/or Pink

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Add a Number

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Think Pink!

Creative Moments #287 - Things with Wings

Tag-alongs & ATC's - All Things Autumn

My papers and sticker embellies are from Prima Marketing, the Luna line. I stamped the witch owl from the Whimsy Stamps Owl-O-Ween STAMPtember Exclusive Stamps (Simon Says Stamp) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, once on plain white cardstock and again on coordinating DP. I paper pieced the hat and colored the rest with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam tape. I added some Stickles to his wand and Liquid Diamonds to his glasses. Peace.

I am Beautiful - Boys Will Love Me

 Hello friends! Heading up to Wachusett Mountain today for Applefest with the family! Always a good time even though it's definitely chilly today! I think the high up the mountain is supposed to be like 55, but I'll be keeping toasty with warm apple cider donuts and hot cider.  Yum!!! I'm sure it'll help running around after the kids all day too!  LOL

I love the way this card came out below, the colors are some of my favorites to use for Halloween cards. I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - W is for Witches

Lil Red Wagon - Use a Frame

Crafty Calendar - Halloween

A Cut Above October - AG with a Die Cut

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #221 - Come On Get Spooky

I ink blended the background with Distress Oxide Inks. I then distressed another piece using just Black Soot and die cut the frame from that (Mama Elephant) and attached that with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment directly on the background, stamped out Elphaba (both from CC Designs) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, colored with Copics, and fussy cut. I attached her with foam tape and added some Stickles to her boots - I've learned to do it this way because I have zero patience and EVERY time I try to add the Stickles first, I forget it's there and ruin it. LOL  I added a die cut spiderweb with spider and some rhinestone stickers. Peace.

Trick or Treat - Sweet November

 So much Halloween fun this month - can you hear me squealing with glee?!?  OK I'll stop. ;) I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges today:

Sweet November Facebook October - Halloween

Shopping Our Stash #584 - Black Cats

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Critter Crazy - Anything with a Critter Goes

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

My papers are from Doodlebug Design (from my stash - I just sorted all of my holiday DP and was slightly embarrassed by how many 6x6 paper pads I bought TWO OF... so I'm really trying to use them before I, you know, buy more...) - I realized that I very rarely use the papers with "busy" patterns on them, so I forced myself to this time! I wasn't disappointed. I used a banner die in the corner and fussy cut the sentiment from one of the papers. I used A Halloween Stroll from Sweet November Stamps, colored with Copics and die cut with a rounded edge nesting die. Peace.

Witches Be Trippin'

 Good morning! Popping in with a couple of fun cards I made over the weekend, this first one is for the following challenges:

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #221

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - W is for Witch

Try it on Tuesday - Halloween

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Add a Number

Colorful Options October - Mood Board


I used the Haunted Halloween Shimmer Spray set from Lindy's combined with my Magic Runes stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code JennFan10 for 10% off) to create the background. Witch digi is from Puffy Pixels on Etsy, I colored her with Copics and fussy cut before attaching her with foam tape. I die cut the spider, web, and bat from scraps of watercolor paper colored with the Screamin' Banshee Black Lindy's spray. I stamped the sentiments from Ink Road Stamps (Basic Witch set and Spooky Girl Season set) directly on the background with Versafine Black and embossed with clear sparkly embossing powder.

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

After I finished the background above, I took the wet stencil and lay it down on a piece of watercolor paper - reverse stenciling is one of my favorite techniques. Here's the card I made:

I'd like to enter this one into the following challenges:

Creative Fingers - Anything Goes

Two Old Bats - Anything Halloween Goes

Stamps from Ink Road Stamps - Sentiment is from the Basic Witch set, die cut with deckled edge nesting dies. I stamped the poop emoji from the Poop Rated R set on a scrap piece of cardstock colored with Mission Bells Brown Lindy's, fussy cut and attached with foam tape. I die cut the witch's hat and attached that the same way.  Finished off with strips of large rhinestone stickers cuz you know, you need bling with poop.  ROFL  ;)  Peace.
