BC167 - A Hit and A Miss

First if you haven't visited the Annabelle Blog yet check it out (see post below) as we are doing a Blog Hop to celebrate Annabelle Stamps 1 year birthday!

Now for our Blogger Challenge this week.  Lisa (list mom) gave us this great sketch to use.  I love having a starting point for my cards.  So I worked this afternoon on a card that I really liked using this sketch, got it photographed and then noticed that I'd made a slight error on the placement of one of the panels.  Oops!  Well I just couldn't post that card without doing another one with the correct placement so you get 2 cards from me today.

First up will be the "Miss" referred to in the post title.   As you can see the one dark purple panel is over to the left instead of being on the right side as it is in the sketch.  This of course threw the whole sketch off balance but I still like this card a lot.  It was hrd to get decent pictures of my cards for some reason. Probably because I took them at night but hopefully they aren't too bad.

This card uses: Our Craft Lounge (Ghostly Greetings) stamps.  The DP I'm not sure where it's from as the strip with the company name had been cut off already.  I colored the ghosts with Prisma Color pencils and added glitter to them.  The sentiment was stamped with Only Orange ink.  The brads are from American Crafts.  I punched out some stars from the same background paper and added them to my focal panel.

Next up is the "Hit" card which follows the sketch perfectly.  I actually used totally different stamps and papers for this card.

The card base is Cajun Crase layered with Brocade Blue and DP from Chatterbox (Sunny Plaid) - I've had this for years.  The Owl is a $1 stamp from Studio G which I bought last year at JoAnn's.  I colored it with Prisma Colored Pencils, raised up one wing and the Balloon with foam mounting tape. This was mounted onto a distressed piece of Really Rust cs and I added punched photo corners of More Mustard with some Brads.  I also added a punch border (EK Success) to the side of the designer paper.  The sentiment was computer generated.

Boy I've had a horrible time getting this post up as our computer is acting up and sometimes takes forever to load things.  So I'm wrapping this post up.  Be sure to check out the other BC Members Blogs to see their interpretation of this sketch. You can find them listed on my sidebar under Blogger Challenge.
