Two cards for Tuesday -

Spoon Full of Sugar is "Spooky" today! Yes a Halloween theme is in the plan. I will admit, I haven't ever really been into making Halloween Cards... and now this is two days in a row! And I think I want to make a few more as there are just too many adorable stamps I really want to use.

My DT card for Halloween today is again from Alota Rubber Stamps, Helene has just brought out so many really cute fall and winter stamps. This is "Witch with Pumpkin/Ghost Garland" isn't she adorable. I colored her with my Copics and Sakura Glaze Pens. I used an orange card stock as the base, the pattern paper ahem... well I did it again, the name is glued down, sorry. I matted the witch with orange and then black and the sentiment is from Alota Rubber stamps as well, looks really cool in person as I use embossing powders to do it. I sewed everything down with shiny metallic thread, now don't ask me what stitch it is... as my machine did not like this thread and was totally messing up, but after I stressed and was upset I realized it was a cool look for a Halloween card so I finished it "messed up". The ribbon is funny... it came on a cookie gift from a friend, good timing huh? Two prima flower are stacked and I cut out one of the pumpkins for the center.

Make sure to check out the other DT cards at Spoon Full of Sugar, really spooktacular this week!
Oh and don't forget there are prizes so why not make up your own Halloween card and join in!

Now my second card today was one to join in on Sketch Saturday and two because I had a new product I was dying to use! I picked out one of my Hanglar images sent by a wonderful friend and colored it with my Copic Markers. I really colored it heavy, including the background. I matted it with the same Bazzill Bling card stock as I used for the base. The pattern paper is from a Debbie Mum/JoAnn's stack, love the heaviness of these papers and the fact that they have bling to them! I found a scrap of yellow card stock and cut it to follow this weeks sketch and placed it down on the pattern paper and sewed it down with a blanket stitch. I sewed around the pattern paper and the image with a regular stitch and attached everything to the card. The image with pop dots.

I decided to color in the star with a gold Spica Glitter pen... then the new product that I got at this weekends Expo.... TAKE A LOOK AT THE MOON! then remember that in a photo you can't see just how cool this is. I put "The Stencil Collections Glazed Dimensions" over the copic ink. Now this stuff is really thick. It is like many many coats of Diamond Glaze. Really cool in person! And really cool is it comes in colors! This is the clear, but I did get a few of the colors so I plan to try them soon too. I love this stuff! I decided to not add anything else to the card, I wanted the moon to be the focus! The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Ok, now to grab some breakfast and do some blog surfing before I get my day going. Hope you all have a great day and have some time to get inky!
