What's My Favorite Color?

New challenge (#49) at Creative Craft Cottage starts today! The topic: Your Favorite Color!  My favorite color(s) change depending on the season.  Currently in October, which is my favorite month of the year, I love purple and green for Halloween!

Of course you can add orange and black into that mix as well. These 4 colors just scream fall to me...or, Happy Halloween, in this case! This darling image is by Lacy Sunshine (this fortnight's sponsor!) and is called Fangletta. 

I colored her using Prismacolor Pencils and distressed around the image using Bundled Sage Distress Ink.

 I used a Mambi Sheets Halloween paper pad and cut the sentiment from one of the 12x12 patterned papers. The pretty purple foil sheet is from that same paper pad. Glossy accents were added on her eyes and the 3 little bats.

I had a roll of black glitter tape from The Paper Studio and punched 3 little cats from it using a punch found at Joann's.  Only had to remove the release paper from the back of these tiny pieces after punching. So much easier than messy loose glitter! 

 

Link up your project using your favorite color by October 19th 2015 for a chance to win your choice of digital stamps!

Melonheadz Challenge and Day 4 of the Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop!

It's Day 4 of the Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop as well as the start to Melonheadz new challenge: Fall is in the Air! I fell in love with this adorable little owl in their Halloween Stuff digital image bundle and chose to use candy corn colors.

Really enjoy the rich color of these Hero Arts Mini Ink Cubes and used Orange Soda, Butter Bar and Cup-O-Joe for today's card. 

I love the thickness of Recollections 110lb card stock from Michael's craft store and these Hero Arts Inks absorbed into the paper beautifully! First and second generation stamping was used for the background with an older stamp by Stampin Up. The yellow tag was also distressed using Spiced Marmalade ink by Tim Holtz.

Foam tape was used to pop up the tag as well as the 2 little owls.  To finish this card, I used Copper Stickles and covered both owls in Glossy Accents.

Let's get spotty!

Newest challenge theme at Creative Craft Cottage is: Let's Get Spotty! There are 2 sponsors this week:  The East Wind and My Stitch Back in Twine. Sorry this post is a little late, but have been busy planning a possible move! (Will keep you up to date when I know more.)

I chose to use this digital stamp from The East Wind called Aurora Reindeer.  Fell in love with this darling image and it just screamed shaker card to me!

This image is colored using Prismacolor Pencils and a Prismacolor Colorless Blender Marker. The quote on the front says: "You don't need to promise me the moon and the stars..."

Inside the card: "Just promise me you will stand under them with me forever."

I created the shaker element using 2 pieces of clear acetate and Scotch foam tape. I added some adorable white stars and gold sequins I found at a local craft store. The image is adhered to the inside of the card and can be viewed through the shaker window.

Here is a view of the entire inside of the card. I used acetate circles larger than the window to create this shaker element and covered both sides with the polka dot paper to hide any glue spots. :)

I hope you enjoyed my first Christmas card of the 2015 season! (Don't worry, no more Christmas cards until after Halloween is over. I have to enjoy my favorite season of the year now... Fall!!)
