Here is my card for DAY 3!
I ran half of my white cardstock through a 
wood-like embossing folder and sponged a 
brown ink over the embossed portion. I then
masked a circle for my moon and used daubers to
sponge some yellow and navy inks to create my
sky. I took up my mask and sponged more 
yellow to make my moon complete. I stamped
and colored my kitty and cut it out. I took a 
thin strip of black paper and glued it to the top
of the fence. I added a twine bow and attached
the cat using mounting tape to raise it up for
added dimension.  Stamping a few Boos were 
the finishing touches. I got my layers together
and Boom, finished!

I started out by embossing a piece of orange cardstock.
I took a matching Copic orange and colored a few
of the raised pumpkins. I colored my stamped image
using my Copics and cut it out. I used mounting tape
to attach it to the card. I die cut a word bubble and
added my sentiment to complete the card.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge 313

Tuesday Throwdown
Challenge 313
-Fall Feathers-

Here's my card for the challenge!

I just LOVE this little image. 
I enjoyed making this card because Fall cards are my 
faves and I love birds, and this little guy is no exception!! 
I colored the image using Copics and I added some 
Copic Blending Solution to a terry cloth rag and pressed
it down on my acorn to give the acorn some texture.
I die cut my leaves out of pattern papers. I sponged
some brown inks around their edges and the edges 
of my card layers. I embossed the main cardfront, 
sponging a bit of brown ink on the raised edges. 
I raised a couple of the leaves, using mounting tape.
I used some brown twine to wrap around the card,
adding a leaf charm to the knot. I fussy cut out my
colored image. I added mounting tape to the back of 
the acorn, the bird I cut off separately. I then added
double mounting tape to the bird, to raise him up
higher. I added some feathers to the back of him 
placed him on the acorn. I used some FSJ Glaze for 
his eyes...just needed a bit of sparkle there. lol

Each day of the blog I am featuring one of the
cutest Halloween stamps set ever,
"What A Scream"

Here is my card for DAY 1!
I found some purple cardstock, I know it looks blue,
and embossed the upper part leaving a small part
plain at the bottom. I stamped my sentiment there.
I stamped this super cute Frankenstein and colored
him using Copic, adding a touch of glaze to his 
eyes. I sponged purple ink around the white edge
and began to put my layers together, adding some
twine before gluing everything down.
