Vintage Halloween

Happy Spooky Halloween

So this weekend I got to pull out my copics and do a little coloring.  I wanted to make a vintage kind of Halloween card (finishing up my halloween cards).  I actually tried the no black outline technique by stamping and embossing the image and then coloring it.  Of course vintage would not be complete without a little distressing and inking.    Of course, I had to pull out my cheery lynn dies:  fence, lampost and the little web corner pieces that if you put them all together you get a full web.  Come join us on the CL challenge!

A cheery challenge (for Halloween?)

Are all you ladies finished with your Halloween cards?  As I have mentioned in the past I was never a halloween person, I tried when my kids were young to get them into it but even they never got into the spirit of Halloween.  But the last couple years I have been into the wonderful paper lines, the black and oranges and the different stamps available.  Oh and then you add some fabulous dies.... oh yeah, now I am into Halloween!  

So this little card I am submitting as a Halloween card for Cheery Lynn's challenge this week.  The spooky fence and the spider web corner are theirs.  I added a little texture and glitter to the card too! (couldn't go without a little bling!)  

So there you have it- stop on over and join the fun!

Easter Collage

Well it is Friday- Yahoo is all I can say.  I had the day off today and got to do some crafting to catch up on some challenges.  This one here is a submission for the Cheery Lynn Challenge (Easter).  I started with a cute little spring paper and then I used one of my SU embossing folders- is that not awesome?  I am so loving the look of the embossed patterned paper.  Then I took the spellbinder oval die to make some Easter eggs!  The flourish and the butterfly are Cheery Lynn: put it all together it is gorgeous (I think).  

It's been a long time!

Hello Again! Glad you stopped over today, it is always fun to have visitors. I was glad to have time this weekend to create- it was quite hot outside so it gave me some time. So I spent some time working with some Cheery Lynn dies/die cuts. They truly are a blast- you should check them out. Today's card is a Sugar Nellie colored with copics- how long has it been since I pulled these out? A long time I dare say. The Cheery Lynn dies were used for the swirl and the doily. That is how I originally found Cheery Lynn- in search of a doily die and I soooo love it. I mean now I can make a doily out of any color- who would have thought? :) The tag is Verve, the flowers sizzix.

Cheery Day!

Happy Sunday! Today's card is one that was inspired by all the wonderful dies that Cheery Lynn carries. I had so much fun creating this one and could have just built on to the card over and over. All the swirls, ferns, and butterflies are so detailed. This is a bit closer photo of the card to show all the layers. I love a card that has layers and has visual depth. Now sending it is a bit more complicated but I always know the recipient will enjoy it- right?
Look at the butterfly... it is so detailed and comes out of the die quite easily. Then you can buy the inner wings to use with vellum or other colored cardstock. Then the leaves of the swirles and the fern- see all the detail? The fence and border area also Cheery Lynn.
