Jake's Halloween Card

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been AWOL again! Time is in short supply these days now that I am working full-time again. Anyway, I finally got some Halloween cards made this past weekend. This card is for my nephew, Jake, who is 2. I used the sketch from http://iheart2stamp.com for my inspiration. I knew I wanted to use my new Fall Glitter Stack of paper by DCWV. I used the paper on all pieces of this card except the stamped circle. The circle is stamped with a cute critter from Hero Arts Clear stamps. I first embossed the circle with a folder by Cuttlebug. I then stamped the critter. I used Twinkling H2Os to paint the critter and also to highlight the embossed edging. The two other pieces were just cut from the DCWV paper and matted on green paper. That was it. Nice and easy. Thanks for stopping by.

Father-in-law's 70th birthday

Hi everyone,

I had to make a birthday card for my Father-in-law tonight. I need to get it in the mail tomorrow. I have seen a lot of resist technique cards lately and decided to make his card using this style. I stamped the background with "seventy" and "70"(Inque Boutique) with Versamark. I embossed then with clear EP. Next I stippled Adirondack inks in Butterscotch, Denim, Pesto, and Rust. The greeting stamp is from Stampin' Up. I did the same resist on the greeting. I then matted with DP and cardstock. Added a ribbon from the Target Hot Spot. I then inked all the edges with the Adirondack Rust ink. Now I just have to mail it. Thanks for stopping by.
