Hey Pumpkin

Hi everyone,

I am sorry for my second post today, but I really wanted to link up my card with the Stampin' Royalty challenge and that link expires in a few hours....



They have such a cute Halloween inspiration picture, I couldn't resist.....you can see it below.
My card is super simple - the hands are a die cut and the pumpkin is a punch, which I water colored. Added black splatters and the sentiment (NBUS Recollections stamp set from last year...)

I got my inspiration for this card from my recent visit to the NY Botanic Garden, where they have such a fabulous Halloween display:

 Love it - perhaps next year I'll make my own for my front yard...



Linking up with:
Stampin' Royalty challenge
Always use Rubber - its not all Black and White
Retro Rubber - Halloween
CAS on Sunday - Halloween
The Male Room - Halloween
 

RRCB 49For your blog

Happy Pumpkin to all of you!

Fantastic card, brilliant inspiration from the photo. We dont see any of this in Australia as we dont really celebrate.. Though the new generation coming through are dressing their children up and the shops cashing in but was always something they do overseas here. Love the ideas people come up with..

Hi, Well happy halloween. I'm guessing the sentiment is stamped I don't know the range you refer to but as an old friend from Twofer days you'll know that our new challenge Always use Rubber is a stamp and ink challenge.

It is a cute fun card great take in the picture inspiration you used. XOXO

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
