Tic Tac Toe Challenge #087

 Hi Friends! It's time for another fun board over at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge:

I love making Halloween cards so, of course, I had to pick the bottom Scary, Halloween, and Purple row.  

I have this scary ghosts die from Tim Holtz in my stash.  It's an old Sizzix Bigz die that I don't think is available any longer but I use it every year.  I die cut the ghosts three times out of white cardstock and layered them together.  I then coated them with Wow's 'Glow in the Dark' embossing powder and heat set a couple of times.  They really do glow in the dark!  The background is a piece of DCWV DSP that I inked up with Distress Oxide Wilted Violet and added tiny star sequins to the sky.  I layered the spookiness on a violet card base and popped up the SSS sentiment.  Boo!

We hope you'll play along this week and maybe get spooky?  Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Annie

The Paper Players #511: Claire's Theme Challenge

 Hi Friends! Today I'm playing along over at The Paper Players where the lovely Claire is hosting a "Fall Critters" theme:

I am still playing with Halloween cards, so...

Stampin' Up's 'Have a Hoot' owls came out to play.  After simple coloring with Copics, I used the Peek-a-Hoot dies to die cut some windows out of Ellen Hutson Woodgrain cardstock. The sentiment is from SSS popped up on the front and I used the SU sentiment, "Have a Hoot on Halloween" on the inside.  I touched up the pumpkin and bandana with a  Nuvo Glitter pen and added Glossy Accents to the owls' eyes and spider.  

Thanks for stopping by ~ hope you're having a good week!

Hugs,

Annie

The Paper Players #510: Joanne's Sketch Challenge

 Hi Friends! Joanne has created a fun sketch to play along with this week over at The Paper Players:

Look at those layers! Love the chance to use DSP in so many different ways!

And yep, I'm still playing with Halloween cards - one of my faves to make.  I substituted my die cut witchy legs (DieVersions) and witch hat (Darice) for the banner in the sketch. The DSP is from MFT's Creepy Confections and the sentiment is from MFT's Spooky Sentiments. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #083: Fangtastic Halloween

 Hello Friends!  Time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge and a brand new board:

I went with the first row on the diagonal: Slimline Card, Splatter, and Green:

I LOVE making Halloween cards, even more so than Christmas.  This is my 2nd Slimline card ever and I have to admit, having the extra "real estate" is fun to play with! I stenciled the clouds with Distress Oxide Twisted Citron because it is my all time favorite green.  The little bats are from a Taylored Expressions set called "Gone Batty." It's an old set but I just love it...more than the bat that decided to sleep inside my patio umbrella...EEEK!  Anyway, I used simple Copic coloring on the bats and after generously splattering with my ink refill, I popped them up.  I added Stampin' Up black star sequins and Glossy Accents on the eyeballs.  Fangtastic!

Please head over to TTTC, check out the other DT member cards, and play along!  We'd love to see you in the gallery.

Hugs,

Annie
