Happy Halloween!

Hi,

I want to wish you a Happy Halloween!

and right for this occasion I have  - guess what - a Halloween card!
I mailed all of my cards out, so I had to make a new one....



I used a chevron background stamp from Rubber Necker, which I heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I sponged metallic ink onto the balck cardstock. I used two different kinds of Washi tape - I just love how the grey Washi tape matches the chevron pattern - it has the same distance - what a coincidence.....The little tag is from an old Stampin' up tag set. 


I colored the spider with a neon marker added some twine and a black gem.
Of course, this card will go into a few challenges:

Less is More - use string or twine
The Twinery - Halloween theme
Pinspired -  Halloween theme
CASology - Black



--X--


I also wanted to share some Halloween cards I got - the first card I got from my blogging friend Susanne - perhaps you saw it already on her blog... So cute! It was so unexpected - it really lit up my whole day! Thanks, Susanne!


The second card is from my sister - not so unexpected - I ALWAYS get cards form her - isn't it great? I love the hexagons and the cool color combination!



And lastly I wanted to share the fun trip my sister and I did yesterday - we went to the Bronx Botanical Garden and did a little shopping on Arthur Avenue - the Italian section in the Bronx.


The Botanical garden is all halloweeny - including the trees!

Dein background ist ja toll mit dem heat embossing und der metallic ink! Und das passende Washi tape und den süssen Anhänger!
Die Karte von deiner Schwester finde ich ich toll! Hat sie auch einen blog?
Danke auch, dass du meine Karte "geshowcased" hast.

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
