QKR Stampede Challenge #267 - ATG w/twist Halloween

Our challenge this week at QKR Stampede is Halloween or ATG.  I chose RIP (#14313), which I made a mask to sponge in the night sky (my first time doing!), then colored my image with copics, and clear star gelly roll pen for the cobweb.  I'm very please with how the sky turned out!  I used stormy sky, concord grape, and black soot distress ink.  I cut the ghosts out of vellum on my Cameo, stamped their faces with Peachy Keen Basic Paper Doll Face stamp, and embossed with Zing black embossing powder.

Happy Friday everyone!  This weeks challenge at QKR Stampede is ATG with NO twist.  I chose Trick or Treat and Halloween Fun (cut the ghost and leaves off).  I imported them both into Silhouette Studio to print and cut out.  They are both colored with copic markers.  I CASEd my friend Cely's cards for the layout.  The DP is from Doodlebug Design October 31st 6x6 pad and black cs from The Paper Studio.  I used Queen & Co. foam circle pop ups for the shaker part and cut the frame around it on my Cameo.  Sequins and beads from my stash as is the witches hat button, and orange and black bakers twine (not sure where it's from but assuming Target as it is marked $1).  Sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmies Halloween sentiments, stamped with versa mark, memento black ink, and embossed with clear embossing powder.

Aunt Millie's Birthday


I had been using Pic Monkey to edit my cards and add my watermark.  The last time I used it was Sept. 7th and I didn't have any problems at all.  When I tried today, it let me add the watermark, but wouldn't let me save it without a subscription.  I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if they changed their policy.  REALLY disappointed, but I'll get over it and have my daughter help me next time she is home!

I made this card for my hubby's aunts birthday.  I used Splitcoaststampers tutorial to create the circle easel card...this is my 1st easel card and I love how it turned out!  The image I used is called Silhouette Butterfly from Bugaboo Stamps.  I imported it into Silhouette Studio to print and cut out.  I added star dust stickles to some of the flowers and 3 orange gems from Hobby Lobby.  I used SB large scalloped and circle dies and Sizzix #9 flourish die.  The sentiment I created on my Silhouette Mint (AWESOME investment) and spiced marmalade distress ink.
