Card Cupids Challenge-Halloween

Card Cupids is up with another challenge that is being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.  Our theme is Halloween. 

 I used these adorable images for my card.  Brat Witch and Wizard . I sat them next to each other and popped the witch up a little bit.  I used scrap paper and the Whoo-ligans collection from Bo Bunny. I cut the bat out of pattern paper, stamped and embossed the Happy Haunting, colored with copics, cut the stars out of paper and put stickles on them. Added the sentiment and the spider sticker attached with black and white twine.

I think this turned out super cute and my daughter wants to send this to her "boyfriend" who is back in Rhode Island at the Naval Academy, I thought the sentiment was cute and as soon as Ash saw it, she pretty much snagged it up so she could send it along with a care package to her friend.

We would love for you to join us over at Card Cupids for our challenge and if you feel so inclined, to also send in some handmade cards to give to children that need some happy mail.  Please check out Card Cupids for the details!

I am entering this card into the

Critter Sketch Color Challenge

The challenge over at Critter Sketch challenge blog this week is to create a project with these colors based on this picture, provided by http://design-seeds.com/index.php/home/entry/mental-vacation5.  Aren't those colors gorgeous, and I would love nothing more than to be sitting under that umbrella right now, laying on the beach, reading a book!!  Sounds like a piece of heaven to me!

Be sure to enter the challenge, our sponsor this month is Robyn's Fetish, the winner will get 5 digi stamps of their choosing!!

I tried to recreate the beach scene with this card, I used the sandcastle and umbrella  from the Create a Critter cartridge, the clouds were from a clear stamp, the sun was done with a circle punch and I just cut little strips for the rays.  The cute girl is a digi stamp from Some Odd Girl, she's adorable and I thought fit the scene perfectly.  I used glossy accents on her sunglasses and just colored her up with copics.  I kinda feel like the card needs something else, but can't put my finger on it, and I didn't want to keep adding to it for fear of overdoing it and then ruining it.....so I guess it stays as is for now.  Maybe shading or inking....hmmm, I'll have to see about that!

You're Special

I made this card based on the color challenge over at The Paper Players and the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and also for the challenge of Flowers over at Critter Challenge blog

I wish now that I had matted each individual panel, but was distracted too much last night and was trying to craft quietly while the husband was trying to nap before a grave shift.  Do you know how hard it is to be quiet while trying to create something????   It's pretty dang hard!  I would have matted the banner too.  I'm going to make a couple more like this and matte the panels and banner....I think I will like it better!! 

You still have a little bit of time to play with these challenges, so go.....play!! ;)
