I used the Gathering Stitches Etched Dies and the Faux Embroidered Pumpkin Etched Dies for this creation. I have fallen in love!! 

Years ago I used to cross stitch and these dies just brought out the memories for me.

Hey Friends!!!

Today I am popping in to remind you that there is still time to play with Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #580. This round is a theme challenge. It is all about HALLOWEEN.

Below is the challenge badge for the CIC580.

We have a sponsor this time around. Mirtillamente Craft Shop generously donated my image. I altered Svario: Happy Halloween Black Cat to create my card. 

I had so much fun creating this card!!! The background was made with Distress Ink and Distress Oxide Ink. I also used some Distress Stain and Distress Mica Stain over the top. 

I altered the digital image by getting rid of the cat. I then colored in that witch hat with Copic markers.

There is a NEW challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge this week. Challenge #579 is a COLOR challenge. It is to use the colors BURNT ORANGE, GREEN and SKY BLUE on a project.

The Challenge Badge for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #579 is below:

This round we used digital stamps that were generously donated to us by Laurie Furnell Ink. 

The little mouse used is from her Autumn Mouse Digital Stamps. I had to use this image because I thought it was too cute!!

I used Copic Markers to color the mouse in and mounted it over some pattern paper scraps.

I decided to use some Washi on the panel as well and adhered some enamel dots to complete my card.

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #555

Hello friends!! Today I am on the blog with a NEW challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenges. For the next two weeks it is all about HALLOWEEN!! 

Below is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Badge for the next two weeks. (CIC555)

My image was generously donated by the sponsor for the #555 Challenge, The Whimsical Art Witch.

I had so much fun making this card!!! I first created my background using various Distress Sprays. I then printed this FABULOUS pumpkin and colored it in with Copic markers. 

I fussy cut the image out and adhered it to my background. I then used some Glossy Accents in various places around the pumpkin. 

My last step was to adhere some white enamel dots around the pumpkin and some tiny bat sequins over the moon. I LOVE how this came out!!!

World Cardmaking Day and Guest Designer at Just Us Girls #604 with a Halloween Card

*Some Affiliate Links are used in this post. Please see my Affiliate Link Policy.

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.
