Popping in

 Hey Friends!!

I am just popping in with a quick card to make the deadline for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. 

I had a lot of fun yesterday with some Distress Sprays. I did a bit of smooshing and then layered some Distress Oxide Spray and Distress Mica Spray to create my orange leaf. I used this in lieu of a tag from the sketch.

I LOVE how it came out!! I then die cut a pumpkin out of cream cardstock and used Antique Linen Distress Ink to shade the pumpkin in to make it look a bit more realistic

I dug out pattern paper and then layered everything together. The sentiment is from Concord and 9th. In the photos it is a bit off but I fixed it after. I just didn't have time to take new photos. 

The sketch that inspired my card is below:

That is all from me today. Thanks for taking the time to stop by!! Have a FABULOUS day!

Hi everyone!! I hope you all are doing well. Are you all playing along today with challenges in honor of World Cardmaking Day? 

For this month I am a guest designer at Just Us Girls Challenges Blog. I am so excited!! This week the theme is Halloween and I created my card in honor of this "holiday."

Below is the graphic for the challenge.

I started off my card by using some Distress Ink in *Twisted Citron and *Mowed Lawn. I then misted some *Twisted Citron Distress Stain, *Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Stain and Distress Mica Spray in Bubbling Cauldron over my ink blended panel.

While that was drying, I used the Elizabeth Craft "Pumpkins" to die cut scraps of orange, black and green papers for my pumpkins.

Before I put my Jack-O'-Lanterns together, I blended *Vintage Photo Distress Ink on all my die cuts. 

I adhered the dried white panel to a green A2, top folding card base. I added my die cuts and then stamped a sentiment from MFT's "Witch Way Candy" stamp set and it was done.

I hope you like my card and please join us this week over at Just Us Girls for the Halloween Challenge!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a FABULOUS day!! I hope you all are able to have some fun today on World Cardmaking Day.

A Card for You to Brighten Your Day from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

 Happy Saturday everyone!! I hope that you are all having a fabulous day!!! Today I am popping in with a sneak peek of the card I created for the CAS-ual Fridays Blog.

I used only ONE stamp/die set for this card!! I NEVER do that!! In fact, this is extremely hard for me to do because I think mixing my stamp sets together for a card is fun. 

Pop on over to THIS post to see how I created this with a step-by-step tutorial.

That is all from me today!! I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a GREAT day!!
