Are you counting down
to Halloween yet? Over at Simply B Stamps Halloween preparations are in full swing with an awesome new release of
Jude and the Rockers’ images in the Little Tricksters collection and I am
featuring two little cuties from it on my cards today.
My first has the
gorgeous Lily Octopus, who I just had to colour in lovely shades of purple.
To make up my
card I’ve followed the current sketch over at Technostamper. It provided all the right elements to
showcase Lily, add the sentiment that comes with her, and my favourite kind of
embellies, a flower.
As I coloured
Lily up in purples I’ve used the same colour as the base for my colour scheme for my card, which of
course works well for a Halloween card. It’s
also the current theme over at Glitter n Sparkle where I am entering my
card. I opened my Kaisercraft 13th Hour
paper pad for the various layers using three different ones, my orange banner
was from scraps and is from Echo Park. As
I have the requisite three patterned papers I’m also linking up my card at PDE Linky Party.
My second card
features the cute Little Ali Pumpkin and is more of a CAS style.
This time I’ve
used Retrosketches’ current sketch for my card layout. I thought the ‘rays’ would look good embossed
so I used a stencil and some Perfect Medium before sprinkling on some embossing
powder.
The Kraft
paper and copper embossing powder give the background a decidedly pumpkin
feel, well, they do for me any way. With
my Kraft paper I am entering my card at My Time to Craft and as Ali is just
adorable I am also linking this up at Creative Fingers’ current challenge.
