Neat and Tangled Guest Designer!

Hello!! I'm so excited to say that I'll be a guest designer over at Neat and Tangled for the next month! I'm so excited. Their stamps are so adorable and fun to use.  So what's your favorite holiday? Mine is a close tie between Christmas and Halloween. With Halloween rolling around later this month, I figured I would make a card geared towards that.  

I wanted to think outside of the box with the awesome stamps Danielle sent me (which were mainly Christmas!). I took one of my favorite sets, Simple Christmas and with the half circle wreath, stamped it in black in twice to make a complete circle.  To add a little depth to the project, I used the evergreen pieces with grey ink.  This adorable little bow die was the perfect size for this wreath.  The sentiment Happy Haunting is from Graveyard Shift (another favorite of mine).  Simple and easy to recreate for many people! I can't wait for another guest post next week at Neat and Tangled!! :) Well that's all from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Challenges: Simon Says Stamp Challenge

Runway Challenge!

Hi! I'm joining a challenge over at the Runway Inspired Challenge Blog. I love playing along with this challenge. 

How fun is that dress!? Here's what I came up with based on the inspiration photo!

I used three different stamp sets. The flowers are from Simon Says Stamp, the thicker lines are from Avery Elle and the skinny lines are from WPlus9! :) Sequins are from Neat and Tangled, of course!! 

Well here's my little creation! :) This will also be entered into Simon Says Challenge this week. Thank you so much for stopping by! It always means a lot. Don't forget to become a follower ;)

Sweet Stamp Shop Halloween Card

So how many of y'all are feeling the crispness in the air? I sure am and I'm super excited about it. With Fall comes Halloween. Probably a close tie for first with Christmas. I have so many decorations I need to put up for Halloween. I'll take pictures and post them when I'm finished. Anyways, for today's card I used one of Sweet Stamp Shop's Halloween sets. So adorable!!!

I colored the castle with my Copics. For the windows, I added glossy accents and then put some glitter on the shingles to help it stand out. Quick tip! For the patchy spots on my shingles, I used my colorless blender to push away some of that color! It gave it a lot of dimension. For the accents, I used sequins and enamel dots. The enamel dots were originally green but I colored them black with my Copic marker. 

I'll be entering this into a couple of challenges. First is Simon Says Stamp's We're Going Dotty Challenge.  Another challenge I'm entering this into is over at the Curtain Call Challenge. The theme is Spooky Scene!! So much fun!!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!!! I love comments so don't hesitate :)

Neat and Tangled Birthday Bash!

Avery Elle September Challenge

Hi there! I feel like I haven't posted in a while. It's been super busy on my end with work and family visiting. Well I finally sat down and did a challenge. Today, I participated in Avery Elle's Challenge. I love her challenges. The photos are always so awesome! Here's the photo for this month.

For my take on the challenge, I wanted to use the colors.  For the main focal point, I took the large flower from Petals and Stems and gradient stamped it to get the same feel as the background. I then came in with the other stamps to add more color. The sentiment is from Handwritten Notes. For a final touch, I added clear sequins. :)

I'll also be entering this into Simon Says Stamp's Anything Goes Challenge!

Thank you for stopping by! Make sure to become a follower of my blog and I love comments so don't be shy! :)
