DCD Halloween Kitty


Hello and Happy Halloween! Can't believe today is the last day of October already, this month has just flown by! Today's is the last day of our moodboard challenge. Thanks Bugaboo, for being our wonderful sponsor for october. Be sure to head over to the blog to see what other DT members have created for you.

 

I used this adorable halloween kitty image for my card to day. I colored my image with colored pencils and stamped my sentiment. I ran some black cardstock through my sizzix with a spider web embossing folder. Before adhering the stamped panel I added some ribbon to the panel. 


I just want to say a little farewell as this is my last post a DT member for the Die Cut Diva's. I was getting a little emotional writing this post, I know it isn't a complete goodbye as I will see my teammates around blog-land and facebook, but this was my first DT experience. ;-)

Creepy

I'm here today with another card for the October moodboard challenge over at the Die Cut Diva's blog. Our wonderful sponsor is Bugaboo.



To start my card I printed the image off and lightly colored the back ground with distress inks. then used some copics to give the images some color. Instead of cutting the image I tore the edges for a distressed look and added more distress ink around the edges.



I ran my pattern paper through my the machine with a die from Tim Holtz and backed with some cardstock before adhering it to the cardbase. Then I adhered the image panel and my die cut letters. For some finishing touches I added some black enamel dots and wink of stella for a touch of sparkle. 


Thanks for stopping by and have great day!

We wish you a...

Here is my card for the watercolor challenge over at A2Z Scrapbooking. I was watching a video by Kristie Marcotte and got inspired by a sketch she used. I love her series of making multiple cards using one 6x6 paper pad. If you haven't checked her blog/videos before, I highly recommend them!

Here is a look at the card, head on over to see the details on the blog!

Scary Cat

Today's is my day to post for the Die Cut Diva's. This month we are hoping you are inspired by the mood board we created  for October. Our sponsor is Bugaboo



This is my first card for our challenge, which started with printing 3 of the same image to fit on the front of my card. Once they were printed I used my copics to color the background of the images. I then trimmed the panel rounding two corners and did the same with the pattern paper I matted it on. 


For the background I used some distress inks to color the pattern paper so it matched the cat circles. Once it was colored I adhered it to the card base and then popped the smaller panel on using foam adhesive. My word is left overs from a background die that I used last year, glad I saved them they are coming in handy. ;-) After everything was adhered I added some glow to the cats eyes using Nuvo dots.

A2Z- joyous holiday

It's the first of the month already! I'm popping up with a post for the new challenge over at A2Z scrapbooking. Our theme this month is watercolor. Can't wait for you to share you watercolor creations with us!

a2z scrapbooking watercolor challenge
My card is designed with a watercolor panel I created. I wanted the panel to have a ombre look, it looks like it was dipped in color starting with the lightest pink to the rich purple. 

I then stamped my images and sentiment in black. I added some twine at the top before adhering the panel with pop dots.
