PP#712 & NBUS#67

 Hello and thanks for stopping by.

Today I'm sharing a card I created for the Paper Players #712 challenge (Clean and Simple - Tag Your It).

I'll also be posting on NBUS#67 because I used new stamps today for this card.

Here is my card:

For this card I started with a card base of Pumpkin Pie cs (SU) and layered that with a piece of Unity designer paper (Haunted Hues) that I cut out with a Scallops and Rectangle die from Unity Stamps.

I used one of the "freebie" tags that Unity sends as a little bonus and stamped the cute little ghost on it with Memento Tuxedo black ink.  Then I colored with with Prisma Color Pencils and blended with Gamsol.  I stamped the Boo sentiment with the same ink.  Next I took an oldie but goodie stamp from (SU) Itty Bitty Backgrounds and stamped it with Night of Navy Ink.  I also distressed the edges of the tag with Fresh Freesia ink (SU).  I just had to use the cute little cat from the stamp set (Boo to You) so both the little Ghost and cat were used for the first time.

I had previously used the sentiment and another ghost from that set on this card but wanted to share the remaining stamps in this set.

To complete my card I added some ribbon (source unknown) it's been in my stash forever.  I mounted the tag using foam tape.

Here is a closeup of the image so you can see the color detail a little better.

Be sure to check out the design teams great cards and pop by a few participants blogs as well.

Have a wonderful day.

Trick or Treat Fun - PP661 and NBUS55

 Welcome!

 

It's the start of a new week and today I'm joining the Paper Players for,

PP661 - a color challenge from LeAnne and also NBUS#55 since this is my first time using this adorable stamp set.

 

 

 

 

 

Before I post my card a special thanks to Claire for choosing my card

from last weeks (Space Theme) for a, Cut Above

award .

 

 

Now on to this weeks card. - When I saw the colors I was wondering how I could fit them all in the challenge and then I discovered the perfect piece of designer paper that fit all the colors of the challenge and voila~ my card was born!

 

 So I started with a card base of Basic Black.  Then I found the designer paper from Basic Grey-Eerie Paper Pad that I've had for a couple of years.  I then cut a strip of Highland Heather and added it over the top of the designer paper.  My little Ghost and Bat Bouquet stamp and sentiment are from Unity (Ghostly Bat Ensemble).  I added highlight color to the ghost image with some colored pencils and fussy cut it out.

 

The sentiment and ghost were stamped on Basic White Card Stock and stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink.

I added a zigzag punched piece of Old Olive and mounted the sentiment on Pumpkin Pie card stock.  The punch is from, EK Success.  - To finish off the card I added some sequins from Picket Fence studios (Witches Brew). - I love how this one turned out.

 

Be sure to check out the cool cards made by the Design Team and maybe even join in on the fun with a card of your own. 

Thanks for stopping by.
