Color Q challenge #106- Spooky colors!

Hi everyone! I had to play along in this weeks Color Q color challenge - I can't resit using these great colors to make one last Halloween card.

I grabbed a Doodlebug gray and black card base I picked up at Archivers a while back and thought to myself "Hmmm.....I think I'll do a spider web card for this!"
I got out my favorite spider web stamp by Hero Arts and embossed it in clear powder- then to give the web some depth I used my Copic cool gray marker (C-3) to go around all the sections. Then I rummaged though my goodie box of Halloween items and found this big bat die cut a friend has sent my last year. I was really looking for a big old spider (swore I had some of these)...but found none. I die cut a circle for the moon- got out my distress inks in wild honey and spiced marmalade and edged up the moon. Used another Hero Arts stamp for the sentiment. A pretty quick and easy card to mass produce.





I don't know about you but I still have to get a few more Halloween cards addressed and  in the mail by this Monday......or I'll get too busy and they will be  forgotten or just be terribly late.......I hate sending cards out late!

Products Used:

Just thought I would ask...............what are your kids dressing up for this year for  Halloween? My seven year old boy is going to be the same as last year.......the "Grim Reaper"....unless he changes his mind at the last minute- which could very well happen.


Thanks for dropping by and hope you all have a great day and are enjoying fall!

Play Date Cafe Challenge 34

I saw this weeks challenge at the Play Date Cafe using the colors of white, black, and a little pop of blue and thought I would give it a try. I haven't had much time to craft lately or a heck of alot of mojo either so I needed something to get me going again.

Since I don't really have any wonderful black & white paper on hand I thought I would try using a black and white image as the focal point. I thought I would color one of the flowers an aqua blue and then add a favorite sentiment of mine (computer generated). I colored the flower head separately and then popped it up on some thin dimensionals. I colored a plain white brad to match using the same Prismacolor marker that I colored the flower with (true blue). I also use a Sizzix embossing folder for the added texture on the card base and the image is one of my favorite Hero Arts stamps- long stem flowers. Click on the picture if you want to see it larger.....and I apologize for the terrible lighting- but it's raining and dark here today so I have no real good natural light.

What do you think?

I really like the simplicity of it- it makes that flower really stand out.

Thanks for stopping by and for all the nice comments!
