Trick or Treat sitting witch… challenge entries..

By

So have you been to the Creative Teams blog lately. Wow. They are definitely adding great projects for everyone to see! Take a peak. And tomorrow we are announcing our newest Creative Team member. Any guesses?? Well a quick give away she has been on a retreat for scrapping (so I have been waiting to announce her), she has great energy, and has participated in many of my challenges, and is fun to chat with…oh wow.. I have given clues that could encompass alot of people… so lets just see who it is tomorrow!!!
Next… I uploaded a new file to the Chris’s Cutter File Club – originally QMC. And it is a cute Halloween title. You could use the witch to sit on any letter, border or picture you may have.
And because I am working on more files.. This is a quick post with lots of visual viewing. see our next challenge submissions. Beautiful.
Thank you for completing the challenge!!
Enjoy!

Happy Harvest Card

By


This one uses the pumpkin from #CD00363. Since our auction is November 1 (after Halloween), I wanted to make it more fall and less Halloween so I didn’t cut out the witches hat that was a part of the design and just trimmed the shadow as needed. Sharing two photos so you can see how I stamped the greeting so it could be read opened and closed. More chalking. Also added a bit of chocolate brown Zig writer and a white glaze pen for highlights. I chose to off-set the vines instead of matting them directly on the shadow for a bit of a fun look. Rounded edges of the card and added a bit of scrap patterned paper. I’m a stickler for tiny details… since I couldn’t sew the buttons on without seeing the thread on the back, I stictched the thread and then glue dotted the buttons to the card. More Van Dyke brown ink. (my fave!)

Fall cards

Our church is having an auction so I decided to make a couple of sets of cards (four to a set with envelopes to match). This first one uses the pumpkin from the Pumpkin Patch #CD00155. A bit of chalk to the cutouts and a tag from the computer made with 2peasMisterGiggles. Raffia as a tie. Van Dyke Brown ink. I used a God Bless You! stamp on the inside.
