PTI HAPPY HAUNTING.....

Hello and happy TGIF!

I'm in the process of revamping my stamp room....it's literally super chaotic right now, but I love it...lol!!! I think I'm always more creative when things are chaotic.

So I took a break and crafted some cards for fun and some for the upcoming ODBD September Release. Here is one of my "fun" cards....I took my inspiration from the previous PTI August Blog Hop photo and cased this card from Nicole Heady.....

Of course I switched it up a bit by inking various yellow, orange, purple and red colors onto a medium clear stamping block and started blending it with a brush. I pulled out the new PTI Brushed Off Set and started inking the colors onto a White CS. Next I used the Hallows Eve Dies along with stamping the Spook Manor Mini Set. The sentiment from the Halloween Treats & Sweets Set was placed right below. At last I assembled everything onto some Black CS...voila!

Wishing you a fabulous weekend!!!

PAPERTREY INK BLOG HOP....

Happy Tuesday!

Guess what...I finally had some "ME" time and decided to get crafty for today's PAPERTREY INK AUGUST BLOG HOP.......

Here is the PTI August Blog Hop inspiration photo my card is based on....

I used the brand new Twig Wreath Set along with the matching Twig Wreath Dies. The sentiment is from the Daydreamer Set. The images where inked pretty close to the colors seen on the inspiration photo. The wreath was simply added to the Basic Backer Die and it was finished off with a Doily. I also scored the White CS on the top and bottom and added some Burlap Ribbon. Not sure if you can see it, but I added some Glitter with the Zig Memory Marker to beautify my card. Hope you like it?

Thank you so much for hopping by. Wishing you a fabulous day,
