Can you believe it's Friday already.....this week has just flown by!!! We are having our October birthday party tomorrow so I'll be cleaning my house all day and planning something to eat. I promised my DH we wouldn't have lasagna again so now what will I fix....maybe he needs to BBQ some hamburgers and hot dogs...yea baby!!! In fact, I might even volunteer to make some potato salad and baked beans...yummo...the last summer hurrah!! Anyway....I got into the craft room yesterday and made a card for The Color Throwdown to use Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzaz, So Saffron, and Chocolate Chip. I also made it a birthday card for Crazy 4 Challenges and I used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch #95.
The Stamp Oasis background stamp from Rubbernecker called Baroque Background was stamped with Chocolate Chip Craft ink and embossed with clear ep. It was then colored with ink pads and an aqua pen. Part of the leaf was cut out using and Exacto Knife and draped over the sentiment from Rubbernecker's Party Time set. The ribbon, button, and twine finish it off.
Recipe:
Stamps: Rubbernecker
Paper: Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzaz, Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown, Basic Grey's June Bug dp, Watercolor Paper
Ink: So saffron, Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzaz, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chop Craft
Accessories: Nestabilities, Button, Twine, PTI Tibbon, Clear Embossing Powder
I made this fun little Halloween card for the Ways to Use it Challenge on Splitcoast. The challenge was to use your embellies in a new and different way. Julia challenged us to think outside the box and come up with something creative. It took me all morning but I finally came up with a frame using punched bats. I also glued a punched bat to a stick pin and stamped the Rubbernecker Bat image from the Halloween Set #1 ...the sentiment from the same set was just perfect for this batty card!!!Recipe:
