Happy Owl-O-Ween

 Good morning! I woke up after horrible dreams and it's such a crappy way to start your day. :( But I've got a busy one so no time to sit around and mope! Let's start by entering this little tag below into the following challenges:

Whimsy Stamps - September Halloween Challenge

Two Old Bats - Anything Halloween Goes

Tag-alongs and ATC's - AG/Optional Circles

The Outlawz September - Anything But a Card

The Outlawz Main Linky - September

I used one of the dies from the Tag Trio by Gina K Designs to die cut the tag from a piece of watercolor paper. I spritzed it with Pewter Mica Spray Stain and let dry. I took a scrap of watercolor paper that had some red ink on it and applied some thick black embossing powder to the torn edge, then attached that to the side of the tag. I stamped the spiderwebs, sentiment, and owl from the Owl-O-Ween STAMPtember set (collab between Whimsy & SSS) directly on the tag with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored the owl with Copics and added some black rhinestone stickers. Peace.

Fall Foliage hello

 Good morning!  Today I'm sharing a card with the same stencil I used for yesterday's post, but in the reverse fashion this time.  This is the Fall Foliage stencil (don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off!) from the September release at A Colorful Life Designs:


I hate wasting anything so I always try to get a reverse print out of my stencils. For this one, I just spritzed it with water after using it traditionally with some Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink and then let it dry while sitting on a piece of watercolor paper. I love the unique prints you get this way. I sponged some more ink on the edges for some dimension. I printed out the digi from Krista Smith, colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam tape. I added a die cut "hello" from some kraft cardstock. Finished off with a large pearl sticker from my stash.

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

Shopping Our Stash #582 - Who's Who (use a person)

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Hello Autumn

A Place to Start - AG/Relates to a Song
