Happy Halloween and Love You

Good Morning!  

After 4 days of a Nor' Easter we finally have sunshine!  

YAY!!!

This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Simon Says Monday, Fall/Autumn.

Allsorts, Dots and/or Stripes.

Created my background with Distress Oxide inks, 

Heidi Swapp Color Shine White and water drops.

I used the PTI products; Friendship Jar Fillers Fall, 

Dress Up Dolls Basic and Halloween stamps and die sets.

Images stamped in Amalgam Black ink colored with Copic Markers.

I also added WOS to all of the images.

This next card will be entered into the Challenges at;

Gina K Designs, Repeating Sentiment.

Penny Black, Pretty In Pink.

I used the Gina K Designs stamp sets; Hugs And Wildflowers 

and Sweetest Memories--which is a blast from the past....Red Rubber!!!

I stamped all of my flowers in Amalgam Black ink on to water color paper....then...

I just started flicking and splattering the ink all over.  

I did a little bit of 'painting' by smooshing the ink onto the images.  

I struggle a great deal with water coloring, typically it all turns a murky brown, but I found this VIDEO by Erum, from Altenew.  It's a Splatter Technique.

Erum has a whole coloring series you can find HERE.

Flowers cut out using the coordinating dies.

Using a Spellbinders Standard Circle die, 2 which I layered, I created a ring for my wreath pattern.  All flowers are adhered to it.  Some I added Foam Dots to for dimension.

Background ink splatters.  Inks in;  Bermuda Bay, 

Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Wild Wasabi.

I also added Foam Dots to the 'ring' on the back of my wreath.

Iridescent Sequins.

Tag.....You're It!

Today I made a project for the JUGS #195 Challenge, to make 4 coordinating tags. 

I love making tags, they come in so handy for gifts or baked goods.  I also enjoy a tag on a card, have made many of them......really jazzes them up!  :)

 

I used Designer Paper from Echo Park, Victoria Gardens.  This paper pack is full of bright pinks, greens, yellows, oranges......just perfect for a flowery garden tag.   Tags were cut using my Silhouette Cameo. 

 

Sizzix punch and embossing dies; Wildflower & Old Country Bloom Flower, Branch With Leaf.  The flower dies are compact, they emboss AND die cut simultaneously, pretty cool!  

 

Sentiment stamp sets by Gina K Designs, Garden Silhouettes & Sweetest Memories. 

 

Miscellaneous Embellishments;  Copic Markers; Y08-Acid Yellow, RV25-Dog Rose Flower, YR68-Orange (all used for coloring the white pearl adhesives), Pearl Adhesives, Sakura Clear Glitter Pen, Buttons, Ribbon, Baker's Twine, Tags.
