Happy Halloween!! We have been having so much fun the past few days with Halloween parties, school parties and a birthday party. I have a lot to share with you today--another Autumn card and some Fun Halloween Photos. Today I created a card using one of the NEW JustRite Cling stamp sets, A Day in the Country.I love the sentiments in this stamp set and the beautiful images are so fun to color.Here is the card I created using one of the sentiments and the cluster of leaves from A Day in the Country stamp set.To start I stamped the sentiment using Tuxedo Black ink and the cluster of leaves with Rich Cocoa ink. I stamped the sentiment and leaves on to a Twinchie from Inchie Arts. Then I edged the Twinchie with a black Copic marker.Next I colored the leaves with Copic markers and then lightly misted the entire piece with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist.I cut/embossed the S4-295 Lacey Squares die #4 and then layered the two pieces using 3D Foam Squares from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™. I added a few rhinestones in the corners.Here is a close up to see the Glimmer Mist.The paper is from My Mind's Eye Haunted Collection. I also added a few more rhinestones and black ribbon with a bow.

Here are the details on Inchie Arts.

This is the card I created for the sketch challenge. This was my first time working with the Inchie Arts products and it was really fun. The surface is so nice and smooth and very easy to work with using Copic markers and ink. I can see how Inchie Arts could become very addictive to create with!! *wink*To start I stamped the center (rocking horse) and border from JB-09780 Hearts Come Home stamp set from JustRite Stampers using Rich Cocoa ink and the 2" Square Stamper.

I also repeated the same steps on the 2” (Twinchie). Here is a close up of the two pieces layers together. I added tiny pearls in the corners.Here is a close up of the poinsettia embellishment in the corner.

Spellbinders Layout - The Mask

Hello! I can't believe Halloween is just a couple of days away and then it will be November! Where does the time go? Today, I have a Halloween layout to share with you using several of the Spellbinders™ Halloween die templates and My Mind's Eye papers. The photos are of my oldest son from last Halloween. He designed the mask himself and then we ordered some really wild looking contacts for him. I thought the mask turned out really cool looking and all of his friends loved it! But what made it kind of creepy is that he didn't talk at all and you couldn't tell who he was once he put everything else on so he had fun messing with people all night. Oh to be young again--LOL!To create the row of pumpkins across the top of the layout I cut/embossed and then airbrushed three of the pumpkins from S4-281 Jack O' Lanterns. I added the three die cut pumpkins across the top of the photo and then I cut out some pumpkins from the My Mind's Eye The Spider Web "Pumpkin Patch" paper. To add a little dimension I layered the pumpkins using 3D Foam Squares from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™. Then I added Orange Peel Stickles to the eyes, nose and mouth of the pumpkins and Ultra Fine Sage Flower Soft on the stems and vines.For the graveyard scene I cut/embossed and inked several Halloween die cuts using S4-279 Graveyard Scenes and Shapes and S4-280 Halloween Fence Scene and Shapes and Brilliance Starlite Silver and Cosmic Copper inks. I layered all of the Halloween die cuts and then added Orange Peel Stickles to the windows in the house and the face on the tree. I also added Ultra Fine Sage Flower Soft to create mossy grass. I cut/embossed a few bats using S4-277 Nested Bats and added tiny red rhinestones for eyes.Here is a close up of the skull and crossbones.

Supplies
Paper: My Mind's Eye The Spider Web "Halloween Night", "Pumpkin Patch"
Ink: Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black, Brilliance Starlite Silver, Cosmic Copper; Copic Markers
Dies: Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur™; S4-279 Graveyard Scenes and Shapes, S4-281 Jack O' Lanterns, S4-280 Halloween Fence Scene and Shapes, S4-277 Nested Bats
Accessories: Flower Soft Glue, Ultra Fine Sage; Ranger Orange Peel Stickles; Joann's Tiny Red Rhinestones; SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L™ My Stik, 3D Foam Squares; Beacon Adhesive Zip-Dry

I can't wait for Halloween! Tomorrow is my youngest son's Halloween party at his school and I am one of the room parents. He is going to be Harry Potter and he's so excited for the party!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs & Smiles,

Then I applies ink to make the embossed areas pop.To create the little bats I used the three smallest die templates from the S4-277 Nested Bats.
