Happy Halloween Eve!!

I have returned again to share my final guest DT projects with
Oddball Art Stamps for this glorious month of October.

I just had to use this adorable image #129 as my focal point.

After coloring her and her spider friend with Copics, she went perfectly 

with the digital paper from The Creepy Chronicles #20.

I couldn't resist layering some drippy die cuts to add to the gooey-ness 

of it all. I also added some more glitter die cuts for added bling. Perfection! 

I have a hairdresser friend who is going to love this card! 

I also had to make some cute ATCs with the yummy goodies of image #468.

Still on my die cutting kick, I thought the zombie hands would

be pretty cute. And I was right.

I popped the images and die cuts onto some Distress Oxide backgrounds.

They're so fun to create, and it's so fulfilling to use up some scraps.

 Lastly, is my favorite little lady...

She is my chosen favorite from the fabulous group of ladies in image #469.

Something about that far away look in her eyes...

Using another new die from Sizzix, I added this beauty onto a simple

die cut background with a Distress Oxide moon.

It has been so fun to be part of the Oddball Art Stamp team this month!

Thank you so much for having me, ladies. I've had a blast creating with 

you this month.

Happy Halloween!!

Word Up Weekend with Stampotique

I used to think I didn't need sentiment stamps.

I thought I could always just print out any sentiment I wanted

from my computer, and for free. Well, that is true, but what a PIA

to print out a simple sentiment, choose a font, point size, etc.. and then try to 

fill up an entire sheet of paper of them so as not to waste paper.

I have come to my senses and have amassed quite the sentiment stamp collection.

Stampotique has some amazing sentiments and quotes in their shop.

TONS of them, in fact.

I made this card using a couple of the newer releases from this year.

And had a play with some of those cool Distress Oxide inks, too.

I began by stamping the Script Background stamp onto kraft card stock using

Versamark ink and then clear embossing it.  

I used some Oxide inks along the edges, and flicked some water on it to get a reaction.

I still need to practice more, but I do like the matte chalky feel to these inks.

I love this Communitree stamp!!

At first, I didn't realize it was a tree, but once I did, I fell in love

with this stamp.  

I used some of the Daniel's Hearts hearts to drive home the message of love.

I get so much use out of this one heart background stamp.

And lastly, but not leastly (lol), is the lovely sentiment stamp,

       A Heart, which is a quote from Oz.

I think all of these stamps work brilliantly together, as well as great stand

alone stamps for any project.

I hope I've inspired you to expand your sentiment stamp collection.

So handy, convenient, and perfect for nearly all my stamped projects.

Stop by Stampotique and check out all they have to offer, but be sure to

take a look at their incredible assortment of words, phrases, letters, and

number stamps.
