Trick or Treat

Bring on the treats; I'm ready for Halloweem!  I decided to use my grunge flower in a ittle different way.  I am using mine as an emblem to hold the rubbon, or in this case raffia..   I made a party cone (to hold my candy).  Would you believe I had almost every color of tissue paper except fall colors or I used an napkin to act as my tissue paper this time.

I have taken a number of pictures so you can see the flower as well as the cone as a whole  It is decorated with pumpkins,leaf and a little glitter on the stars and  a message which reads "May Your Halloween Be Full of Smiles".

Most of the stamps are by Stampin' Up.  Coloring was down with Copic Markers.  The grunge was distressed before I put it together as a  flower.

I think I will hang this on my front doo Halloweenr and see if hubby will supply candy corn.

Just Grunge

Here is a card I just put together using Bleach Swipes with gold webbing background, a little grrunge, and stamps.  After distressing my grunge, I decided to put my sentiment on it and add a little gold trim.  The sentiment stamp is from Scrolls Work Stamps.  The old vehicle is from The Stamp Pad. Tthe card ended up being a little busy.

How About a Little Humor

This is the first time I've even thought about getting ahead of the holiday season.  Here is a little card with a little humor.  The techniique is Warhol.  Stamps are by Inkadinkadoo and VAP Scrap.  Also I just had to add my little fence, a new purchase from Martha Stewart. 

These little turkeys are trying to get a little message to you about what to have on the dinner table during the holidays.  Notice that the turkeys in the window are hoping that their leader will get the message across!

This card has numerous layers which qualifies it for Simon's Stamp and Show Challenge "Layers".  Also the card has a 3D effect which I am entering into Gingersnap Creations' 3D Challenge.

My "Novel"

I am going to enter a challenge with my little "novel"  First of all, it is not a novel and I did not write one, but it is one from my imagination.  Think of it as a book of espionage or intrigue. That is why it is so named "The Red Tree". This book is actually a book box from the template found on Inka's Altered Artifacts Etsy Shop.   At first I thought that I would not be able to make it, but once I got started it really wasn't too difficult.   The first challenge I am entering is Gingersnap Creations' Black and Red Challenge.

Below are a couple of pictures showing different views of my book box.

Here is another picture of the inside

Here are the "pages".

This is the spine with a little gold trim.

Here is the front of my mystery "novel".  There is a little glare on the front cover from the camera.

Now, don't you want to "buy" a copy and read!!!

Going Wild

I went a little wild to make my tag.  This is for the Gingersnap Creations' Paint Challenge.    The technique is one I am working on,  but I will share that the flower is made from pages out of a book.  I am hoping that the technique will soon be published in a popular newsletter.  In any case, enjoy my wild side.

All the colors on the tag are acrylic paint.  The flower is airbrushed with Copics.

WOW! Finally!

Well, I finally made Kard Krazy's Tag Tuesday Sampler.  The Scrapbook Tag that I made below was shown in the sampler  this week..  The challenge was to make a tag by scrapbooking it.   This has really given  me a boost to my ego!

Compendium of Curiosities, Week 11

I'm getting a little behind so i am posting twice today as I want to enter The Compendium of Curiosities, Week 11.  The challenge this week was to do the Blended Batik from Tim Holtz's book.  The challenge is sponsored by StudioL3.  I was slow to join the challenge because I was waiting on my book.  This is a wonderful book showing various Tim Holtz's techniques in step by step pictures.  I am slso entering this in Simon Says Stamp and Show

Scrap A Tag

The challenge at Kard Krazy  this week was to Scrap A Tag.  This was a fun challenge.  I did a little make believe with my tag using a digital from Altered Artifacts.  I I hope you enjoy seeing this little creation as much as I did making it.

Other Than Paper

The Tag Tuesday Challenge this past week is to stamped on something other than paper.  This tag is a drink can.  I did a little Cuttlebug Highllight on it and stamp on the circle with Staz On. l The coloring on the tag is from alcohol inks.  I finished of the tag with a little silver-looking lace.

Paper Piecing

I knew the minute I got this stamp from Artistic Outpost that I wanted to do some paper piecing on it.  This is a card I sent to my Just One partner this month.  Both stamps are from Artistic Outpost.

Four More Scraplings

  

Here are four more Scraplings I did for the Gingersnap Creations swap.  The first one on the left has a 3D Clown from Artistic Outpost,  The second has digital images from Twisted Papers and the tihrd scrapling has an image of a lighthouse by Stamp Craft..  The final scrapling has a rose image from.All Night's Media.
