Halloween Fun & Dope Together

 Good morning! I have 2 fun cards to share today - I had a blast making these on World Card Making Day!  My favorite color is purple, so these were easy to come up with!  This first one is for the following challenges:

TGIF Challenges #545

Paper Funday - Anything Goes/Optional Creepy or Cute

Cut it Up #340 - More than One Die Cut

Double D - Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie - Spooky Fun

I used some fun designer papers and used a scallop die on 3 different papers, then layered the die cuts. I used a spider & a web die cut as embellies and added a sticker sentiment to the corner. This is one of my favorite stamps (retired) from CC Designs - I stamped her with Versafine Black and colored her with Copics and a white gel pen. I fussy cut her and attached her with foam dimensional tape.

And this next card is for the following challenges:

Cardz 4 Galz #260 - Purple & Green

A Cut Above - Anything Goes with Die Cuts

I Love ProMarkers #592 - AG/Stenciled Background

I created my background by blending Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink on a piece of watercolor paper and smooshing it just a bit with some water. I just LOVE my Ink Road Stamps, they are so much fun and so unique! I stamped the heart-shaped cannabis leaves and the sentiment on the background and embossed with clear embossing powder.  I printed out the cannabis smoking girl digi from Oddball Art, colored her with Copics & Fun Flock and fussy cut her. I used 2 stitched edge die cut rectangles to create a frame, added a tiny die cut cannabis leaf in the corner, sponged it with black ink and attached it all with foam dimensional tape. I finished it off with purple eyelets in the corners. Peace.

Born to be Wild

The middle granddaughter (Lisey) is going to come home with me for a sleepover, but she doesn't know it yet. She's Grammy's girl, and she's going to be so excited.

Color Dare #670

Interestingly enough, I started out with something completely different for this color challenge, but I ended up doing this one! I ink smooshed blue & green Oxide Inks on watercolor paper, then stamped the images from Visible Image directly on the background and embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped the flower on another piece of distressed watercolor paper in yellow, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace.
