2 Cards Today!

WooHoo it's Friday! Yeah! And I have 2 cards to show today! The first is a Halloween card using Gingerbell the cat from The Greeting Farm and the Jack-o-Lantern head from the Spooktacular set (also from TGF!)

The Details:
Stamps: Gingerbell and Spooktacular - The Greeting Farm
Paper: American Crafts, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black, PTI White
Copics:
Cat: C5,C7,C9,R20,R22
Pumpkin: Y35,Y38,E08
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Dew Drop Brilliance Lightning Black (distressing on the fence)

My second card has a completely different feel and is for the first October Viva La Verve challenge. This was a sketch challenge with the twist of "make it shabby chic". That does not come naturally to me, so I hope this is acceptably shabby chic!


The Details:
Stamps: Wishing You, Because of You - Verve
Paper: Retired Baja Breeze paper pack, Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla
Ink: Distress Inks in Tea Dye and Vintage Photo, Baja Breeze
Misc: Prima Flowers, Darice jewels, Martha Stewart border punch, Choc Chip Grosgrain ribbon

Thanks so much for visiting me today! I hope your day is wonderful!

There's Something "Familiar" About This Witch!

Hi! How are you today?I had a weird-weather-at-work day yesterday. I watch the kids at recess at my daughter's school, so I am outside for 2 hours a day (yes, even in the winter, in Alaska!) Yesterday, in that 2 hour time frame we had a light, very cold drizzle that turned into freezing rain and hail. After hurrying to get the kids inside, everything stopped and the sun came out. So we were back outside for the next recess, only to have it all start over again 30 minutes later!!

On to my card! I loved turning one of the Dressy Miss Anya'a into a witch a while back, so I decided to do it again and give her a Familiar this time! This is also for the color challenge over at SCS - Crushed Black Razzelberries (I love how that sounds!) and I used Mercy's Sketch #40. I masked the flower in her hair so it wouldn't stamp and drew her witches hat separately, cut it out and glued it on. I also drew her little broom, cut it out and glued it behind her back.

The Details:
Stamps: Miss Anya Dressy, Ginger Bell (cat) - The Greeting Farm, Sentiment - Taylored Expressions
Paper: Crushed Curry, Rich Razzelberry, Basic Black, Whisper White, PTI White
Copics:
Skin:R00,E00,E11,R20
Hair:V01+R43,V04+R46,V06+R59
Clothes:Y23,Y35,Y26,C0,C1,C3,C5,C7,C9
Cat:C3,C5,C7,C9,R20,R22
Misc: Cuttlebug Embossing folders, EK Success Bat Punch, Black Stickles


This card is for week 4 of the Viva la Verve challenges at SCS. This week's has a sketch and the added challenge of "black and white". I am not sure how much I love this - I may try it again if I have the time. My brain has a harder time thinking of cards without coloring, but I am trying to get better at it! The stamp is from Verve, the paper is K&Co, and I used a CB embossing folder for the black background piece.

I hope your Wednesday is wonderful!
