The Theme is Halloween at Stamping Dragon Designs

Halloween will be here soon and that is our theme this week at Stamping Dragon Designs Challenge.  Just create a Halloween project and enter the challenge and you could be a winner.   The sponser this week is Di's Digi Designs and the prize is a $10 gift voucher to her store.

I had so much fun creating this card.  I thought this would be a good card for my grandson.  I used Sam the Vamp Framed from the Stamping Dragon Designs store.  I colored him up with Copics and I used Pebbles Pearlescent Chalks on the background.  Then I used a corner rounder punch on the corners.  The cardstock is Authentique, The Enchanted Collection.  My sentiment is from TLC Creations and it is cut out with Spellbinders Deckled Rectangle. Chalks were used for the background.  I then used Sheer Shimmer Spritz on the frame and image.  It doesn't really show up too well in the photo.  The only embellishments I used were two orange gems from Studio G, a pumpkin sticker with bobble eyes from K & Company, and  a bat sticker with bobble eyes from Michael's Recollection.

Rock, Paper, Scissors at Twisted Tuesday

Good Tuesday morning!  Today, is my first time to show you a card as a new design team member for Twisted Tuesday Challenge.  Today's challenge is Rock, Paper, Scissors.  You will need to use some patterned paper and hand cutting with scissors or decorative cutting with scissors.  The  TWIST ~ The 'rock' part of our challenge...use diamond glaze, diamond stickles, diamond embossing powder, clear rhinestones, etc.  Anything that sparkles like a diamond.

I have used a cute little image from Pretty Little Stamps.  This is Kisses Cammy.  I cut her out and popped her on the hearts.  My cardstock is Bazzill and the designer paper is First Edition 6x6 pad Boho Chic.  I just love this paper pad.  The heart die cuts are Stamping Up as is the ribbon.  The corner bow die cut is by Memory Box and I used paper from my stash for it.  The flowers are by Prima.  I do not know where I got the sentiment, but I have punched it out with SU's Oval punch and layered it on the Oval Scallop punch.  I used Diamond Stickles on her headband, dress tie, little hearts in her hand and on the sentiment.  The rhinestone on the bow is from my stash.
