A little different look for me and it’s just OK. The designer card I CASEd from Whimsy Stamps looked so much better. I am loving Whimsy Stamps and their designer paper packs. Using a Recollections pumpkin die, I die cut my scene from the Pink Autumn paper pad, patterned paper from my stash that was embossed with a leaf background embossing folder and sentiment from a SSS stamp set with the addition of a few die cut leaves and flower to top off the pumpkin. It’s ok and maybe better than horrible to use Gina K’s words.

One more Halloween-ish card. My card began with a circle die cut that was used as my stencil for my night sky which was ink blended with several Distress Oxide inks. The second stencil was one from SimonSaysStamp which has a combination of stars and snow. I stenciled the stars using white pigment ink. The Inkadinkadoo Halloween Trails stamp set features my birds. And lastly, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Tall Pines die was layered in grey and black cardstock. I kind of really like this card.

Still no orange! LOL. My pumpkins from Gina K Designs Haunts and Harvest stamp set were colored in teal with GKD’s Harvest florish stencil sponged in a light teal and the focal panel a bit darker. Sentiment from same GKD stamp set.

I was trying very hard to NOT make a Halloween card but somehow I don’t think I achieve that target!!! The Cardz 4 Galz challenge is to pick at least 3 of these colors — Purple, Orange, Black or Green. I chose purple, green and black…..no orange. My Gina K Designs Forever Flowers stamp and die was colored with a Bic Polnyesian Purple marker and tipped with a green Ohuhu marker. After die cutting, I filled in the white outline with black marker. Next up was my background which uses SimonSaysStamp Mix and Match Circles stencil in GKD Lovely Lavender ink and a combination of Taylored Expressions green inks, the outside edge was sponged with Tim Holtz Distress Black Soot. A little splatter in black and purple, a sentiment strip in black and Martha Stewart trio butterfly punch. Still looks like Halloween to me….???

Orange, Black, Purple!! Using a rectangle masking stencil, I blended Gina K Designs Wild Lilac and Sweet Mango inks trying not to overlap the colors as they really wanted to create a more muddied color. A black layer for the focal panel and SimonSaysStamp Leafy Branch die for the “B” portion of my card. Sentiments are Taylored Expressions All Together Happy Occasions stamp and die set. The purple note card was swiped with the Wild Lilac ink pad for a little texture look.

It definitely is sweater time in Pennsylvania…..well at least for the next few days that is!! My fall sweaters were made using Taylored Expressions Sweater Weather kit which included layering stencils, sweater die, clear stamps for the sweater trim, dinky decorations dies which are more of a Christmas/winter theme and will be perfect for Ugly Sweater day. Since I couldn’t wait to play I decided on fall leaves and TE’s Fall Garden Variety dies. The Cuttlebug Herringbone embossing folder reminded me of a sweater. Sentiment was a TE add on to the kit.
