Color Hues #120

 I am honored to be guest designing at Color Hues.  

I was invited after a recent win and of course I said yes.  

Here are the colors for this week's challenge.

And my card

Did those colors scream Halloween to you?  It's funny but I went back and saw other cards I made with that color combination and all but one was Halloween and most of them were for Color Hues.   For this one I blended the background with Spiced Marmalade, Seedless Preserves and Black Soot Distress Ink, after masking the moon.  The haunted house is from MFT, the bats from Sizzix, the sentiment from EH and the hill from SSS.  

The Design Team has more inspiration for you on the blog.  We'd all love to see your cards using these fun bright colors.  Won't you join us?

Color Hues #96

I've been working on Halloween cards and thought the colors at Color Hues warranted another one.

I cut a circle to mask the moon before blending the background with Distress Inks.  A background stamp from Penny Black and some bats from Winnie and Walter made my spooky scene.  

Thanks for dropping by.  I love it when you do.

Tic Tac Toe #182 and CYHTP?

I love it when two challenges collide.  Today's card is for Tic Tac Toe and Can You Handle the Pressure? 

The background was made by smooshing some leftover Jack o -lantern mica spray that was in my tray.  When it was dry, I embossed it with the SU Subtle folder.  Over it I layered the house (also embossed with a woodgrain folder), some bats and a sentiment from EbyE.

I used the first column down, Halloween, Orange and Embossing.  The theme twist at CYHTP? is orange and black.

 

I've been having fun making Halloween cards the last few days.  I have one more to finish for the 10 I need.  You'll probably be seeing some of them pop up here in the next few weeks.

Twofer Challenge #10

The new Twofer Challenge is half over and I'm just getting around to posting my cards.  I don't have much in the way of harvest images so I did what a lot of other people did - went with pumpkins.

In this case pumpkin dies from SSS.  Four of the pumpkins had already been cut out last year and I found them inside the die envelope.  That made it easy to finish up the cards.

The patterned pumpkins were added to an irregular cut panel edged with Distress Ink, along with some stalks from C9.  The sentiment is from Jillian Vance and is for a Thanksgiving card.

For the Halloween card I cut a mask for the moon and inked the panel with Oxides.  The bats and jack-o-lantern faces are from W&W and the heat embossed sentiment is from My Craft Spot (OOB).

I'm busy making Halloween cards ( I need 9 for my grands and great-grands) and Thanksgiving cards for the church homebound (I need 14).  I'm getting there.  I also have two friends with Halloween birthdays so those cards are in the making too.
