I used the fun Kitty & Jack image along with the new Boo die for my Halloween card. This image is a lot of fun to color! I also stamped, colored and fussy cut just the kitty & jack part to pop up on top of the base image. The base image was die cut w/ a large circle and I trimmed of the bottom just below the rock wall & added a larger die cut circle behind it. Boo was die cut out of a dot embossed textured black & stacked on top of 2 more die cut Boo’s for a little depth. The large distressed orange dp was stamped with the new Wood Background image using the rusty hinge ink. I punched one black bat fence and another out of a black Halloween text print..the solid black fence has some yellow highlights added to the top.

The yellow leafy dp on the left was a leftover strip from something else and I used a curved border die on the right edge & added some black faux stitch lines. On the inside, I added some leftover dp and punched bat fence to frame the fun Fraidycat greeting.

The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

The card below is one I did using some of the new Leaf Pops Negatives & It’s About Time images & a clock die also available at Serendipity Stamps. Just click the picture and it will take you to all the details on this card.

This is a CAS (clean & simple) card for the Color Challenge (CC493) today on Splitcoast. I don’t have the exact colors, but I came pretty close using Distress inks. I masked the edges of a white panel and sponged on the inks. Then I used a stencil, sponged thru it to add a bit more interest. The image & greeting were stamped on top along with some dots across the bottom using an ink spot image.I added a few highlights on the colored part of the image w/ a white gel pen and white Prismacolor pencil. It was die cut w/ matting die and the leftover piece was sponged and added back around the main panel.

I even went for the dessert option of the challenge…recycle something 🙂 My little leaf was stamped w/ Stazon onto a piece of plastic packaging and colored on the back side w/ Copics, cut out then heated a little in order to curl it a bit.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Serendipity SSCB #34 Miss You pt 2

Posted on August 20, 2014 12:00 AM by Julie 5 Comments

Welcome to part 2 of the August Challenge for Serendipity Stamps ! This month the challenge is is Miss You/Thinking of You. You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. The design team has the added challenge of using the same image from the first challenge, but making it a bit “more”. You only have to make a Miss You/Thinking of You card. The sale at Serendipity Stamps this week is 40% off the highest priced item in your cart when you use code “40fromhigh814” – good through 8/27. And as always, we have a have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

For my “more” card using the same mustang images, I started out the same…stamped it with Versafine onto water color paper and used water soluble graphite, a couple of water brushes & to add more color, I also added a combination of Distress reinkers in spun sugar & tattered rose.. I die cut with an oval die, edged it w/ black & matted it on a larger oval of a peachy/pink designer paper. The rope corner was stamped, colored the same way and die cut w/ a large square. The black print and larger pink layer were also die cut before being attached to my 4.25 x 5.50 card front. A multi tag punch was used to punch out the tag from a leftover piece of the colored water color paper and the greeting was stamped on top. A section of fussy cut piece of the rope corner and a black mini brad were added w/ the tag.

Here is my “simple” version from 8/6.
