To Cute To Spook

 Hello & Welcome. - Gosh I intended to post this card several days ago but life happens and now I'm finally getting around to posting it.

I'll be entering this on NBUS#90 - It was originally made for the Art Nudge challenge but the creator of that challenge, Jeanne Streiff passed away suddenly.  She was an awesome stamper and artist and will certainly be missed by all.

Another of my favorite stamp artists and people is, Anna Wight also known as Sweet Miss Daisy.  - She has her own line of stamps on Etsy so be sure to check them out. - Today's card features stamps and papers from her line of products. - This is my first time using the stamp set and papers.

The stamp set I used is called, FAB-BOO-LOUS and can be purchased by clicking on the link to her Etsy Shop.  The set features 6 adorable Ghosts and 5 sentiments to go with them.

The paper is from her paper line: (Monster Brights)

For this card I started with a base of: Gorgeous Grape cs (SU) and then a retired piece of purple cs.  I used a small Distress Ink Cube (Dusty Concord) smooshed down on acetate and spritzed with water then a toothbrush dipped in the ink and splattered it with my finger over the card stock.  That was cut out with a Unity Scalloped die as was the green piece and circle piece of patterned card stock.

The ghost and sentiment were stamped with Versa Fine Clair Nocturne ink.  I colored the Ghost with pencils and blended with Gamsol.  Then I added Diamond Glaze over the balloon and some Wink of Stella on the Ghost.  To finish off the card some yellow enamel dots were added. - A fairly CAS card that turned out so cute.

Now to find time to stamp more of those adorable little ghosts!

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

August/September 2026 Art Nudge Challenge and NBUS #90

 Hi,  I'm super excited to share this card today.

This is for the August/September Art Nudge Challenge

Here is my card:  Click to enlarge image.

For my inspiration I went with the packages in the lower left of the Inspiration board. #826C -  I tried to match as many of the colors as I could.

I'm also excited because this is one of the (in my opinion) best cards I've done using Copic Markers. 

Details: Card Base - Berry Burst, Next Layer: Bermuda Bay* Cut with a Unity Stamp Co. Rectangle Die. - Layered with patterned paper from Unity (Love Notes from a Little Monster) Then a punched lacy border was added (EK Success) and a strip of light pink ric-rac ribbon.

Focal Image (Isn't that Snail the cutest!) - Is from the August 2026  KOM (First Days to Festive Nights) also you can purchase as a separate kit: (Eventually Yours) - The image was stamped with Versa Fine Clair Nocturne Ink and colored with Copic markers. It was cut with a Unity Circle die.  I added some Wink of Stella to it's eyes for some shimmer.

The sentiment was stamped with the same ink and I added some punched hearts from the same paper pack, staples and enamel dots.

Since this is my first time using the Snail image I'll post it as well for NBUS #90   

Thank you for stopping by & I hope you have enjoy this fun card as much as I did making it.

Creepy Peekies #3

 Hi,  Back again today with #3 in my Creepy Peekies cards.

For this card:  Base: Mossy Meadow - Then I layered some designer paper (Heebie Jeebies - Unity Stamps) and a strip of Washi Tape purchased at JoAnn's (which sadly has closed now).

For the focal image. (Creepy Peekies - Unity Stamps) I created a tag out of Basic White cs and a tag punch. I stamped the image in Versa Fine Clair Nocturne ink and colored with pencils (Prisma Color) and blended with Gamsol. Then I splattered some Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide ink (Range) on it.  I also used Black Soot Oxide ink on the edges of the tag.

Other items used:  Purple Bakers Twine, Light Lavender Enamel dots (Paper Studio), Googly Eyes, Fish Tail Die and Foam tape.

Come back tomorrow to see my final card using this set.
