Recycle, ReUse

\I used a tin seal from a coffee can and painted it with alcohol ink in eggplant and stream as the BG. I used a sweetnsassy digi for the snail and coloured it with copics for practice blending (hence the odd variation in the shell :P) I then raised it with a pop dot off the shiny BG. The ribbon is a scrap from my oddsnends bin and the saying is clear dollar stamps. Drat, I looked at the sweetnsassy sketch challenge and could have used this there, but didn't follow the sketch. Ah well!

Blog Candy Alert!

Chrissy's having a blog candy giveaway....an awesome package! Go see here

Witches Shoes

This was fun. I wanted to use the free shape template from paper popsicles and then met a challenge to create a love/halloween card. In the bargain, I think i meet the criteria for the stamp something blog challenge BLING!! And I get to challenge myself (use my own writing, yuck! :P and use my bling which I never think to do) I used miscellaneous paper, a SU tag punch, dollar store embellies. The tag says There's something 'witchy' in the air...(inside cont. 'cuz I've been under your spell since we first met!)Inside is decorated too, but I didn't scan it....too much work left to do tonight!

Spooky Crayon Resist!

I used the embossed crayon technique from the latest technique junkies newsletter along with dollar store embellies and CTMH ink. Too much fun and so easy my 4 year old can do it!

Copic Practice and Free Digi

This stamp is free from papergardenprojects as a new stamp venture to try. I coloured it in with copics and set it paper from my scrap pile. I really like this stamp to colour and I think I am getting better! Even my DH can't believe that I coloured it! Still needs work, but my best yet. I entered this card in the challenge atCopic Creations and realized that I probably need practice on my pumpkins after reading the tutorials, lol.
