Skipping Stones Design September Challenge

Hi Everyone,

for the coming week we have a fun challenge for you here at Skipping Stones Design - the theme is HALLOWEEN

Now I don't have any Skipping Stones Halloween set, so its time to get creative! Nothing better than a real challenge!




For my card I am using this hilarious Skipping Stones Designs set called Dandelion Dreams. I first masked the moon and then sponged with distress inks to get a spooky night background. I then took various stamps and first stamped them  in white. Then I moved the card a smidgen and overstamped with black. Repeated until I was happy. Added the "clouds" - white ink directly to paper. No sentiment, 'cause I don't have one. 


Spooky enough, what do you think?

Better than spooky...that night sky looks like an artist created it...and since you're an artist, you did. I know it's supposed to be Halloween-y but it is so much more. Just gorgeous.

Spooky and fabulous. Great depth and colours. Loving the ghosting technique and the over stamping with the black, works fabulously x I've been away on holiday and so missed popping in to your blog to admire your creative genius! xx

Spooky enough, Cornelia, although I might have cut wings off the butterflies and made bats out of them. ;) The moon and sky are a wonderful inking job.

As always, your ingenuity is at play, creating an eerie scene from things typically not creepy! Fabulous...and, obviously, spook-tacular!

Easter Egg and Bunny

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

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful! Mirror Image stamp ,  Two Cats in a Tree If you want a video tutorial on how to do this I can highly recommend you watch THIS VIDEO on youtube. Explains it all in very little time! Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
