Double D - To Spook or Not challenge and NBUS#67
I have went with the Ghosts for my inspiration on my card and the more traditional Halloween color scheme.
So for this card I started with a base card of Basic Black (SU) card stock. Next I die cut a layer of Pumpkin Pie (SU) card stock with a Unity Scallop & Rectangle nesting Die. I used 2 patterns of Unity designer paper: (Haunted Hues) Which is new in my supply stack. I cut the polka dot pattern with a small banner die. I also used a new stamp set (Unity Clear to You - Boo to You stamp set.) Yes, Unity has a clear line of stamps now!

Four Seasons - Anything Goes Fall Challenge
I actually had some of this card just laying around on my desk as I had previously thought to use them for another challenge but went a different route. Instead of just putting them away I decided to see if I could create a card with them. I think they match the colors in this mood board and of course the Fall theme.
So the parts I had laying around were the Card Base (Cajun Craze) and Hello die (Unity), The Black circle and the embossed leaves. The embossing folder is one I purchased from JoAnn's.

Double D and Inspired By and NBUS# Challenges
So for this card I started with a card base of Basic Black (SU) card stock. Then I added a piece of new designer paper (Carta Bella-Fall Fun). I had a left over piece of embossed paper from a previous card so I added that strip. The cover plate is from (Concord and 9th)

PP698 - Card 2
Welcome & thanks for stopping by.
Since I loved the Paper Players Color Challenge this week PP698 I decided to make a second card for the challenge. I had some elements left over from yesterday's card that didn't work for my card idea and thought why not put them to good use.
This card is very different from the sweet little mouse card from yesterday's post. I hope you like it just as much.
Have a great day & happy Stamping!

Growing in Unity - Day 1
Hello and Welcome!
Today is my first day as the featured GIU stamper (Growing in Unity).
I was super excited to be given this opportunity and I hope you will enjoy the cards that I share this week. You will be eligible to receive a $20.00 store credit by leaving a comment on my Blog post (no anonymous comments - you must leave a name to be eligible for the prize).
So let's get started on Day #1:
For this card I used the adorable (Cheese Chat) stamp set from Unity Stamps.
I colored the images with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Gamsol. I added some sparkle to the cheese grater using a Wink of Stella pen.
I embossed the white panel with a Dot embossing folder and brayered ink over it. Sentiment was stamped on yellow card stock.
Images were mounted with foam tape.
Details: Card Base - Basic Black - Images stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White cs. (SU)
I used a combination of different dies for the images. The Postage Stamp die is (Unity) Other dies are from SU and MFT.
Please note that the Dark Yellow card stock (Summer Sun) and ink are a retired SU color but you could do this card with any inks you choose.
I tried to get a decent shot of the shimmer from the Wink of Stella pen. It gave the card that little extra punch.
I hope you enjoyed your visit today and will come back to see my next card. Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance at that $20 store credit with Unity stamps.
