Color Outside the Lines

One more quick card today for two challenges ~

at ColourQ and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

(to use a rubber or clear stamp).

I used watercolor crayons to color with,

and tried it with actually watercoloring,

but preferred it with just the plain coloring.

 

 

Supplies ~

Stamps:  Reverse Confetti Dream In Color

Paper:  PTI White & SU Tempting Turquoise

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black

Additional Supplies:  Doodlebug Sprinkles, Watercolor crayons

Halloween Treats

Every year I make Halloween treats for the families of 

the babies in our NICU.  I usually make at least 24, so

this is never anything too fancy.  I am posting these at

The Paper Players for their Halloween treat holder challenge.

I actually made these last year using tin containers that I found at

a rummage sale. I paid only a dollar for the mini tins, and I 

think there were about 30; I filled them with M & M's. 

 

Supplies ~ 

Stamp:  PTI 2009 Halloween Tags

Paper:  SU Whisper White & Tangerine Tango

Ink:  SU Tangerine Tango

Punches:  EK Success 1 3/4 " Circle & 2"  Scalloped Circle 

Additional Supplies:  SU Tangerine Tango Ribbon & Spider stickers from Michaels

This year I totally cheated and only cut and scored Halloween paper,

rounded the corners and then added stickers.  I filled them

with snack size bags of candy bars.  Last year I ended up

needing over 30, so I made 30 for this year ~ hope that's enough!

This was a good way to use some of my older Halloween paper ;).

Harvest Blessings

Belated Happy World Card Making Day!
Two fall cards ~ for challenges at CASology,

Addicted to CAS and CAS(E) this Sketch.
I don't really have any "harvest" type stamps, so I just
used the word "harvest" and some leaves.
I wanted to try something different for the leaves,
so I sprayed light burlap with Mr. Huey's spray mists.
That was difficult to die cut and keep the small pieces from
falling off.  Next I tried spraying felt and was happier with the
results and later how it cut, except that it took FOREVER to dry.
I liked that I was able to get some variations in color.

Supplies ~

Stamps:  The Craft's Meow Harvest Blessings

Paper:  PTI White, SU Tangerine Tango

Ink:  SU Tangerine Tango, Mister Huey's Color Mists ~ Taxi, Hot Dog, Sunshine, Real Red & Letter Jacket

Dies:  PTI Leaf Prints (burlap) & Cuttlebug (felt)

Additional Supplies:  PTI Woodgrain Impression Plate
