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!

There is a New Challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge

 Hello Friends!!!

Today I am popping in with a card for the NEW round of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!! Challenge #604 is a THEME challenge-COOL CATS. 

I used the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #604 badge below as my inspiration. However, it was only for the cat theme.

I dug deep for this card as I used very OLD supplies. The stamps are from MFT Stamps. I have had these for YEARS and have NEVER inked them up.

The white panel that my cat and dog is on is an old Project Life rectangle that I had bought when I was scrapbooking. I used Twisted Citron Distress Ink to blend, stencil and stamp the background.

The octagon frame is a retired die from MFT Stamps and the pattern paper is from my stash. I had SO MUCH FUN making this card!!!

For my card, I chose to create a Thank You card. Like the card last week, I made my background using ink blending, stencils and stamps.

The die cuts, with the exception of the postage frame, are from Spellbinders. I am trying to use dies that I have not used before or have not used for a long time.
