Happy Halloween House

 I'm popping in today to share my first card for the Die Cut Diva's September theme (which is one of my favorites). Be sure to stop the Diva's blog for more info. Our the theme is Fall and fall holidays and wonderful sponsor is Frantic stamper. 

I love making Halloween cards, so that is what I started with!

I started by stamping my house and the die cut it out. Next I die cut the trees and tombs out of black and 2 shades of gray cardstock. I then used distress ink to make my background and splattered the some water on it. I used copics to color the windows on my stamped image. I then stamped my sentiment on the lightest layer of gray before adding all my pieces to the cardbase.

Thanks for stopping by and have great day!!!

I'm stopping by blog land today to share a card that I made to play with The Challenge, for my first time! I really liked the color combination they used for the inspiration image. I've wanted to play along with one of their challenges before, but would run out of time.

It just so happened that I had all the pieces from other projects still laying on my desk that would work together perfectly for this challenge. I just played a little with my layout and had to find the perfect sentiment to fit.

Once I got my layout figured out I heat embossed my sentiment and then adhered my layers. I added a silver embossed wood veneer snowflake to the center of the die cut snowflake to add more silver.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

Just a quick post to share the card I made for the Muse: Christmas Visions challenge. Almost didn't get it done in time!!!

Here is the muse..

Here is my take...

I used distress inks and a stencil to make the panel before stamping the sentiment. Added the panel to the card base and called it done.
