Halloween Balloons

Are these not the cutest stamps? These are Best Halloween - Clearly Besotted stamps.  I was loving the paper which is from Summertime Designs. I (badly) colored in the stamps with my Spectrum Noir pens...at least the candy corn balloons because my oranges bled.  I got some thread from the Dollar Tree a few months ago and used those for the balloon strings.  I just love this because it's just so darn cute :D

Halloween Magic

I like this card, but not thrilled with my coloring job.  I do like the Spectrum Noir pens, but I have a tendency to make the darker colors bleed all over my cardstock.  Anyway, complaints aside, this is a stamp from Stampendous called "Halloween Magic".  I really like it though it's larger than the ones I normally use.  This gave me a great opportunity to use my clockworks Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I think this looks a bit steampunk-y.  I also used some Glossy Accents over the mask, eyes and gear on her hat.  I had some glitter I used and one star sequin I placed with some more G/A.  I also used a few gems from the DCWV gem stickers pack just to give it more pop.  The sentiment stamp is from the Inkadinkado "All Hallows Eve" stamp set and I embossed it in white.

Trick or Treat

Love this card if I do say so myself.  This is one of my favorite stamp sets, too. The Stamps are from Inkadinkado 'All Hallows Eve'.  I stamped the web and spider onto some Colorbok 'Boardwalk' paper and embossed it with some plain, black embossing powder.  I layered it onto a small mat from the 'old world' mat stack from Premium stacks and used the excess as the bar.  I just swiped the edges of the papers with some black marker so there would be no white edges.  The sentiment was cut from the same mat stack on my silhouette, edges distressed and stamped with the sentiment from the same stamp set then embossed as well.  The spider head and three dots were from th DCWV gem stickers pack.

5 cent Potions

I love everything about this with the exception of the ink I used for the stamping. I don't have any 'Wink of Stella', yet so I used a cheap glitter glue pen.  The ink I used was Studio G.  The ink may have been great and maybe I didn't let it dry all the way, but it smeared and smudged both when I distressed the edges of the potions tag and when I colored and glittered the main stamped image.  Annoying, but I will know better next time.  The stamp is from the Friendship Jar and Friendship Jar Fall Fillers by Papertrey Ink.  The papers were free digipapers from Scrap.DOT.  I distressed the edges with my favorite Distress Ink, Archival Photo and I colored in the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.  The eyeballs were from a bag of eyes from the dollar store.

Flight of the Valkyries

Can I tell you how much I LOVE these stamps?!?  They are tiny, but so, so cute.  The Stamps are from Eat Cake Designs (a gift from a fellow critter lover)and are as follows: Crumbs Away, Hank (the dog) on his Hoover,  and Mr. Frisky Takes Flight . I believe there is also a chicken design on a bubble wand.  I had never heard of Eat Cake Designs, but I think I'll be shopping there soon.   I have no idea the brand of paper, in fact I am pretty sure it isn't a background paper but something I printed from a wallpaper. As far as the stamps, I just stamped on plain, white cardstock, scanned them and tried to cut them out using the Silhouette [It has been well established that i cannot fussy cut stuff out].  I colored them in with some Spectrum Noir markers.  I went back and forth wondering if I should put a sentiment on it, but finally decided against it.  I am sending this to the Humane Society who helped out my kitten so I'll probably just send it with a hand written note and a photo of my littlest one.  This is a combination Halloween/Thank you card.
