Lovely weather for flying last night

I’m back from my big adventure and starting crafting again with Day 7 of the 13 Days of Halloween over at SBS and I’ve got the super cute Broomstick Betty from the Teen Scene Trick or Treat Teens on my card.

To make up my card I followed the current sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  The layers let me do my favourite double matting so I’ve used lots of black cardstock, also used it for my base and for the cute spider web die cut.  With all that black cardstock I’m also entering my card over at the current challenge at Creative Card Crew.

Die Cuttin’ Diva’s are running a colour challenge at the moment using purple, orange plus one other colour, so I went with green, the perfect colours for Halloween.  I’ve used them on my image and on the designer papers and embellies.  I’ve had the brooms in my stash for a couple of years, glad I finally remembered to put them on a witch card.

I think she turned out super cute, don’t you?

To join in all the fun of the 13 Days of Halloween go check out the SBS blog, there’s lots of fun prizes to be won.

...the night sky as the canvas

It’s challenge time at Simply Challenged Challenges and we have a really easy theme for you, anything goes, for which I’ve made a card featuring Rocket Betty from the 4th of July Betty Boo collection at Simply B Stamps.

To make up my card I’ve followed the current sketch at Friday Sketch, I love all the layers that let me show off a whole lot of starry papers.  Some Bling on a Roll added just the right amount of, well, bling given I had all that lovely glitter on the papers I used.

We don’t celebrate 4th of July here in Australia so I steered away from a total red, white and blue colour scheme but couldn’t stay away from it completely.  I think the blue behind Rocket Betty looks great though and with it, I am entering this in the current Kit and Clowder challenge.  Scrapping4fun has an anything goes challenge on at the moment so I am also linking this over there.

Write the softest words and kiss them…

I have a Valentine’s card to share with an adorable new image from Simply B Stamps’ Teen Scene Holiday collection, Batty for Rio.

As always, I’ve coloured my image with my trusty Copics so I’m entering the Addicted to Stamps and More challenge.  I’ve gone with traditional Valentine’s colours with this one, in soft pinks, and added some mulberry flowers for a bit of interest.

I’ve also finally broken out some of my endless supply of washi tape to help break up the background.  With my washi tape element I am entering this in the current Ribbon Carousel challenge.

I am really on a Fran-tage kick at the moment, I’ve used it again to edge my die cut, I love the bit of sparkle it adds.  I was going to put more as a background to the image but am glad I held off, I think it would have been too much had I added it.  All in all, I think this is a rather cute Valentine’s card, and with the batty messenger bringing a love letter there is definitely love in the air so I’m also entering the Make My Monday challenge.
