One More Halloween Card

silver embroidery floss. I hope that counts as string ;).

May Your Blessings Be Plenty

Starting on my Thanksgiving cards, I used the themes at CASology ~ 

"country" and at Simon Says Stamp! Wednesday Challenge to use

Halloween colors (or make a Halloween card). 

There were so options for "country" that I couldn't 

narrow it down;  this was not my first attempt ;).

I decided on a gingham patterned pumpkin, since 

gingham always makes me think of something "country."
I also added button twine and burlap.

Supplies ~ 
Stamp:  WPlus9 Pretty Patches: Pumpkin
Paper:  PTI Rustic White, SU Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Garden Green & Soft Suede
Ink:  SU Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Garden Green & Soft Suede
Dies:   WPlus9 Pretty Patches: Pumpkin, PTI Mat Stack 2 & Layerz Mat Stack 2
Additional Supplies:  PTI Rustic Cream Button Twine, Burlap - LCS

Thanks so much  for stopping by!

Thanks Sew Much!

Two almost identical cards for the "wheels" challenge 

at CASology.  I've been trying to think out of the box

with the cue words.  This quilt pattern is called "pinwheel."

Thinking of You

A multipurpose masculine card for the new challenge at

CASology for the cue word of "flame."  Instead of going with 

the fire / vapor definition of "flame," I went with the 

action form of the word ~ to "shine brilliantly" (yes, I 

googled it).   I am sure the very witty and multitalented

Ms. Darnell would have a much more extensive and

humorous story to tell you ;).

Supplies ~

Stamps:  WPlus9 Guiding Light & Guiding Light Sentiments

Paper:  SU Marina Mist, Whisper White, Soft Suede

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, PTI Fresh Snow, Black Sharpie (to go over the stamped sentiment) & Gold Top Marker

Dies:  PTI In the Meadow & Hello Sunshine (used the negative to sponge the beam)

Additional Supplies:  Taylored Expressions Cloud Impression Plate, Magenta cork

Catching Up

A card for the newest challenge at CASology
for the cue word "night."
I like the idea for this card, but it didn't
turn out quite as I imagined it might.
Guess I'll have to have another try ;).
 I actually like this card much better,
 that I made for the sky challenge at CASology.

I have only missed two of the challenges at CASology, 

and this post will rectify that.  Of course, they are past the deadline.

I had started both of them before the deadline,
but health issues and required overtime got in the way.

The first one is for the cue word "White."

There were many gorgeous entries, but I took a different approach.

I thought of a mummy ;).

I tore masking tape and did some sponging for the background.

I am also entering this one into the challenge at 

Simon Says Stamp to use die cuts.

Stamps:  PTI Halloween Treats & Sweets, Mummy from the dollar bin at Michaels
Paper:  PTI White
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black & Ranger Tea Dye Distress Ink

The second challenge I missed was for the cue "Zoo."

It's for my son who LOVES snakes.
