Hello Beautiful!

Hello Friends!

4/40 Here is another card from the K & Company Cardstock Pad.  I am trying to use all of the cards in this pack.  I know why I haven't before-I was probably afraid and then just didn't know how to do them justice.

I still don't know if I am doing them justice-but I don't want them taking up space when they need to be decorated and sent out (at some point).  

So this is what I did with this busy flower card base.  I love Tim Holtz paperdolls and colored her with my spectrum markers (which didn't take long to dry!).  I had a piece of vellum left over that I stamped the wings (Fun Stampers Journey) onto using archival manganese blue.  And a small bit of cardstock left over from die cutting some stuff.  The Hello Beautiful are word stamps from Stampin Up 2005.  

The expression on this angel's face doesn't fit the sentiment exactly and I think that's what makes it funny.  Oh I also took Glossy Accents and outlined 3 of the tulips to help balance the texture.  

Do you have any crafty things that you are trying to use up?  

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Crafter's Castle: #27 March Challenge Anything Goes 

Little Red Wagon #543 Leftovers-I used leftover vellum for the wings and left over cardstock for the sentiment 

Creative Moments: #187 Anything Goes

Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time my friends--stay healthy and stay safe.  Good bye Beautiful! :)

Fun Ghouls Card

Hello Everybody!

It's that time of the month-halfway!  :)  And so my friends at Creative with Stamps, and I are ready to share some mid-month inspiration with you.  This month it's about including a sentiment on your card.

So here is my card:

This was super fun to make.  I stamped and colored the girl monsters.  I used black embossing powder for 2 of them and pink ink with clear embossing powder for the middle monster.

The black background paper is from Pebbles and the orange was a scrap.  The monster stamps and sentiment are all from Craft Smart (Michaels 2012).  They are colored with Copics.  The spider web is a Martha Steward web punch.  I used glittery cardstock for it.  Lastly, the rhinestones are from Michaels.  

Please make sure to include this graphic on your posts.

Be sure to visit the other DT ladies as well.

I would like to link this card to the following challenges:

Little Red Wagon #363 Best Witches

Retro Rubber Challenge Blog-Halloween *I bought these stamps in 2012 from Michaels.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Until next time my friends...use those sentiments! :)
