Trick or Treat Card

Hi!  Hope your day is going well!  I'm hanging out at home today with a sick little girl- no fun!  Luckily I'm feeling fine.  :)  I craft in our family so we are having some movie crafty time- she's already feeling better, too!

Since I had time, I thought it would be fun to play along with a couple of linky parties today!  I created this Halloween card using some of my never-seen-ink-stamps and some goodies from SRM:

The stamps are from the Trick or Treat mini set by Lawn Fawn.  I stamped the candy corn onto watercolor paper and painted them using my ink pads.  I let them dry and cut them out.  I splattered the kraft card base with orange ink and then stamped the bat with Staz On.  I watercolored him using gray ink.

I added the black sticker stitch next and then the sentiment sticker on a strip of orange cardstock.  After they were adhered to the card, I added the pretty purple twine, finishing it in a bow.  I added the candy corn next, using foam adhesive to pop them up.  Lastly, I added a folded doily underneath the sentiment strip and a few silver sequins to accent it all.

Did you know SRM is hosting linky party over at the Paper Issue blog?  There are plenty of options to play along so pop over and check it out!  If you happen to use your SRM products, you may as well link up to the current SRM Challenge as well!

I'm also going to link it up to the current Lawnscaping Challenge:

Is it bad that I'm happy about having a lazy sick day today?  It was nice- especially after the busy weekend- but I do hope my poor girl is better tomorrow...

Thanks for popping by today!

Inky Paws Challenge with Newton's Nook Designs

Hi there!  Hope you are enjoying your Friday!  I haven't been on my computer much this week- it's nice to take a break every now and then! :)  This week ended up being a lot busier than I was planning!

Anyways, today I want to share my card I created for the latest Inky Paws Challenge from Newton's Nook Designs.  They had another great sketch for us to work with this week:

And here is my card featuring the adorable Boo Crew set:

I added the banner stamp from the Winged Wishes set to create a Halloween party invite.  I loved coloring these images!  I recently found my forgotten colored pencils and gamsol- I am in love!!  I think I might be over Copics and moving on to Prismacolor- I ordered a new set of their pencils this morning and I can't wait to get all the colors!!

The papers I used are by Bella Blvd.  Their Trick or Treat line is one of my favorites this season and just perfect for the cute animals in the Boo Crew set!  They go together so well!

Well, I hope you have time to play along with Newton's Nook Designs this week!  If you do, be sure to upload your card over on their blog for your chance to win a stamp set!

Hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
