Spooky Tree

This is one of my favorite creations as of late. I have been in a bit of a creative funk, so this lifted me up and I found a bit of stamping mojo. I was inspired by the cool patterned paper by K & Company. I LOVE this paper...it makes me wish that the weather was cool and crisp instead of stinkin HOT!

The stamp is by Hambo Stamps and I wish you could see the sparkle of the moon... I used a clear spica to give it some bling! I used a white gel pen to create the dotted lines along the bottom pieces. I was trying to mimick the earth in the stamped image.

Copic Colors Used:
Earth: E30, E31, E33, E34, E35, E38 and E08
Sky: YR000, YR12, YR14, YR15, YR18
Moon: W00, W0, W1, W3

Witch Hat Trio

Gosh I love Halloween! I think I enjoy doing Halloween cards more than just about anything. I'm not really sure why, but I have stopped trying to psycho-analyze it and am just going with the flow!!! This funky striped paper is from K & Company and it has some of my favorite colors: lime green and purple!

This cute stamp (and sentiment) is from Hambo Stamps and was so much fun to color. It could be done in a myriad of colors to fit ANY paper you might have on hand. The tag die is a Cuttlebug one. I almost didn't get the sentiment on it, but it made it!

Copic Colors Used:
Hats:
BG0000, 000, 05, 07, 07, 09
YG11, YG13, YG17
YR12, YR14, YR18

Friends Stick Together

I think this little porcupine is such a scream! This stamp and matching sentiment are from Hambo Stamps. I'm not entirely sure how "close" a friend a porcupine could truly be, but since this is make-believe and not reality...IT WORKS! :)

Copic Colors Used:
Porcupine: C00, C0, C2, C3
Nose: forgot to write it down! (sorry)

Please Bring Me Cooler Weather!

It has been a miserable hot summer and I can't wait for some crisp fall air! I was hoping that by making this card I could generate some good mojo and bring on the cooler weather! After looking at the forecast, I'm not sure it was very helpful. Oh well...I can dream can't I?

The pumpkin trio and sentiment are from Hambo Stamps. The cool paper is from K & Company.

Bring on the COOLER WEATHER!!!!!

When Pigs Fly

This "floating pig" is a great image from Timbo at Hambo Stamps! It could be used in many ways, but I decided to use it for a more generic sentiment. I thought this would be a great card to send someone to see how things are going. The papers are by Lasting Impressions and I thought they would be fun. The sentiment is computer generated.

Copic Colors Used:
Piggie: RV0000, RV000, RV10
Grass: YG00, YG01, YG03, YG05
Flowers: Y32, Y35, Y38

Age Doesn't Matter...

I love this mouse stamp from Hambo Stamps called "Say Cheese." I have always thought he was so cool looking and it was fun to color as well. I didn't have their saying that goes with, so I had to come up with something on my own. I drew a blank. Gotta love Google...I managed to find this funny saying and thought it was perfect!

I think the patterned paper is from one of the Basic Grey collections (pet maybe?)...I also used one of my new Tim Holtz Emossing folders on the other half.

Copic Colors Used:
Mouse: C00, C0, C2, C3
Nose/Stomach/Ears: RV0000, RV000
Cheese: Y32, Y35, Y38
