Tidbit Tuesday-Faux Tile Technique

Hello Everybody!

It's the first Tuesday of the month-my Favorite Tuesday.  The Tuesday where a new challenge is posted at Technique Tuesday!

This month the technique is Faux Tiles.  The instructions are here.  Go by and see all of the beautiful creations that the DT have made!  Lots of inspiration!

Here is my card using this technique:

The Santa is from The Graphics Fairy LLC.  You can find him here (and for free!).

I printed him on white card stock and applied walnut stain Distress Ink around him after I cut him out.  I cut my tiles out in different shapes because I was trying to make sure I didn't cut his head in half.  The red is made using a border punch from Fiskars.  I used a gold pen around the edges of the card.  

I am linking this card to the following challenges:

Digi Haven: Merry Christmas Challenge

The Graphics Fairy: Brag Monday

Other Materials:

Pattern Paper: Recollections

Cardstock: brown and black (embossed with dots on Cuttlebug) and red

Gold wire ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by!  I can't wait to see what you create using the Faux Tile Technique.  Until next time my friends...Create! :)

A Jolly Halloween Card

Hello Everybody!

I hope you had a great weekend!  The air has gotten cooler and the humidity has gone down--it's fall in Florida! :)  I love this time of year!  Pumpkins, mums, and Halloween!

I am entering this Halloween card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Eeerie Inspiration, Joy's Pinterest Inspiration Board

Digi Heaven: Happy Halloween Challenge (Thanks Mynnette for telling me about this!) :)

Here's my card.  The main image came from VintageFeedsacks which you can find here (for free). :)  I saw the jack o' lanterns in the inspiration picture and I remembered seeing this image in my blogger feed-I knew it was a perfect fit!

Other supplies include: orange cardstock embossed with a Tim Holtz fade, black cardstock, chevron paper from Hobby Lobby, and a grey/black ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...stay spooky! :)
