In the Garden

Hello Everyone,

For today I will be playing along with Wednesday Creative Inspirations- In the Garden! I will also be playing along with NBUS, and Watercooler Wednesday. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

This a pic of the card laying flat. The sentiment is inside the card and gives plenty of room for a handwritten message inside behind all the 'clouds'.

This clearly demonstrates how the card is designed. The clouds surrounding the garden act as a good color buffer and, again, leaves lots of room for a written note.

I distressed the white clouds with Stormy Sky DI and colored the garden using Copic markers. The garden is a digi stamp from Power Poppy. All I did was print it out on regular computer paper (forgot to heavier CS in the printer), and colored it. The printer paper worked great with Copics! It has less of a tendency to bleed around the object you are coloring. I then adhered it to heavier CS and fussy cut around the garden.

The butterfly was printed twice and colored twice. The second butterfly was printed on CS scrap, colored, and then cut out. I adhered the butterfly by the body making the wings free to 'fly'.

Elements Everywhere

Hello All,

For today I am writing on behalf of PINspirational to let you all know we have a new challenge these next two weeks. But before I get to the challenge here is my card for today.

This card has a lot going on. Lots of color and patterns are like Halloween, all the elements seem to be crazy! The photo inspiration for this challenge was great inspiration for creating this card.

Can you see the skull staring at you? If not, it is hidden among the flowers.
That is what I like about the inspiration photo. So much to see, so many surprises, so much inspiration that it is hard to focus on one thing. So, I decided to do everything!

I decided to use the negative space for the dripping blood.
I really like this element because it is insinuating something that isn't there;
at least not in its literal form.

Again, many surprises are hidden in this design.
If you look at the center of the flowers you will find an eyeball.
Just another oddity to spook the recipient.

Challenges Entered:
Cupcake Inspirations: #428- Ghouls and Ghosts

Wednesdays Creative Inspirations: #282- Autumn/Halloween  

Well, thank you again for taking time out of your busy day to visit my corner of the internet. I do hope you will join us at (PIN)spirational and play along. Until then take care and we will see you soon!

All the best,

Hello All,

Here to share with Y'all a new challenge at The Male Room. The challenge for the next couple weeks is to Use Metal somewhere on your card! I found this challenge interesting because I wanted to find a way to use metal as a centerpiece of the card, not just an accessory. So here is what I created for today, enjoy!

Chilling huh? The photo to the left shows the stamped image as a negative image. Once you move it into the light you see her face come alive!

Note: I usually get some comments on where to get this stamp.
This stamp is from Stampendous called 'Chilling'.
It is still in production and is easily found online or craft stores.

This photo is especially creepy. It is particularly shown in the light and in shadow. It just shows the transformation this image has when light vs. darkness. 

The die cut is from PT and thought it was just as creepy as the image.
Sends chills down my spine... Seriously! 

Challenges Entered:

Just Us Girls: Word Week #414- Light

Cardz 4 Guyz: Boo Halloween or Autumn Thank You- # 180 

Wednesdays Creative Inspirations: #282- Autumn/Halloween

So how was this card created? Actually, it was done in a matter of minutes and made out of a tin can. First, I cut open the can using a utility knife (be careful) and straightened it out using a die cut machine. Inked up the image and embossed it using white powder. Heat set and done! The leftover tin was used to die cut the sentiment. Stacked it up using a some CS and adhered it down in place. 

The effect surprised me! It took my breath away to see how it transformed in the light. 

Well, that should do it for me. I hope you enjoyed your stay but more importantly, I hope you join our challenge at The Male Room. Until then take care and happy stamping! Take care all and looking forward to seeing you at The Male Room!! Happy crafting!!

All the best,
Shawna
