A Halloween Hello for Freshly Made Sketches #357

Happy Friday!! I hope you are all having a fabulous day!!

Today I am popping in to post a card I created for Freshly Made Sketches #357.

The images used are from the My Favorite Things original Witch Way Candy? stamp set. I stamped and masked the images onto a page from an old book.

I then used Prismacolor pencils to color the witch and the cat. I actually am not happy with the way it came out. I couldn't shade the pencils that well on this type of paper.

Here is the sketch that I used as inspiration for my card.

The patterned paper is from a defunct company Little Yellow Bicycle. The orange cardstock is Bazzill Papaya. Instead of the sentiment strip going all the way down to the bottom, I chose to cut the bottom on an angle. This card will be sent to my daughter at college with the candy jars from yesterday's post and a bunch of Halloween decorations.

On another note, here is a card I created combining My Favorite Things Penguins in Paradise, Mama Elephant's Swinging Borders and a  Celebrate sentiment by Waffle Flower.

All the coloring I did with Copic markers and then covered in Diamond Stickles. If you look closely behind the sentiment, I did make a bit of a mess with the Copics. However, I am still going to use this but will give this to family.

That is all from me today. I will be participating in World Cardmaking Day tomorrow. I don't know where there are any challenges anymore but I will be making some cards.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Epic Fail for CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #286, My Entry for CAS(E) this Sketch and Less is More Challenge Entry #2

Good morning friends!!

I hope you all are having a nice morning. I am getting ready to go to a picnic later. Made Whoopie pies as my contribution and looking forward to seeing some old co-workers.

Today I am posting three cards. The first is a card that I made to send to my daughter at college. One of her nicknames is "monkey" so I used Mama Elephants "Monkey Agenda" and the "Swinging Borders" stamp. I used CAS(E) this Sketch #286 as my inspiration.

However, then I messed up. I stamped the sentiment crooked and I had to improvise by covering it up. This made me place the monkey in a place I wasn't planning to place it. I needed this card so there was NO WAY I was throwing it out!!

The leaves were colored in with *Copic Markers and then used a *Tonic Clear Sparkle Marker over them.

I then used some *Glossy Accents over the banana.

So due to my mistake, I created ANOTHER card for my entry to CAS(E) this Sketch #286.

Once again, I switched it up and am hoping it is okay. Instead of a HUGE sentiment, I used the Mama Elephant "Swinging Borders" stamp and then a tiny My Favorite Things smile sentiment from the "All Smiles"stamp set.

I then used a monkey for the shape on the side of the sketch.

I chose to color in the leaves darker then my first card.

I also covered the leaves in with a *Tonic Clear Gloss Marker and *Glossy Accents.

My next card I created using the Less is More Challenge #378 as my inspiration.

I used the DoCrafts *"Moroccan Tiles" die for my squares.

I die used some of the cuts inside the squares for the flowers.

The hearts were die cut using CAS-ual Friday Stamps *"Fun-Fetti Fri-dies." I used sparkle marker and glossy accents over them to give them some shine.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things "Bitty Bears" stamp set.

Well that is all for me today. I am off to walk with a friend. Have a FABULOUS day!!
