Autumn Clear and Mansion Release!

Hi Ai Fans!
It's the second week of the Art Impression "Off Kilter Challenge" and the Halloween Clear and Mansion release! I'm using the "Holiday Mansion" set and the "HM Accessory" set. I  love this set as there are just so many possibilities you can come up with!
I wanted to create a Halloween themed Mansion with the set. I stamped the mansion on some Halloween themed paper and then I just added colour to the roof, doors and windows. I added some shutters with the stamp included in the set and fussy cut them out. I created my background night sky using different Tim Holtz Distress inks and added some black and white paint splatters.
The "Holiday Mansion" set comes with dies to cut out your windows and doors. I love that you can add little images behind your windows for an interactive element to your design. The "HM Accessory" set has the cutest little images and matching dies to cut them out with!
There is also a sentiment with the "HM Accessory" set which was perfect for the inside of my card!

Copics Used:
YG11, YG13, YG25, C1, C3, C5, C7, C10, 100, R24, Y15, Y17, YR14, YR16, YR18

Happy Stamping!

Tea Light Cover!

Hi High Hope Fans!
Today I made a bit of a different project using the High Hopes "Haunted House" stamp. This stamp is from the New Release called "Seasons of Celebration". I decided to create a little panel that you slide over a candle holder to make an illuminated piece for Halloween.
To create this I stamped my image on some silver vellum with Versa Mark embossing ink and added some black embossing powder. After melting the powder with my heat gun, I used my Zig Clean Color Markers to colour in the image. I cut a piece of Halloween themed paper the same size as the vellum and using a hole punch and ribbon, tied the 2 papers together. Easy Peasy, just add your candle and your done!
This was hard to photograph in the dark. but I think you can get the idea right?!
Zig Colours Used:
010, 023, 041, 050, 062, 066, 080, 091, 094

Don't forget to enter into the September Challenge over on the High Hopes Blog! The theme this month is "Fall and Halloween". 

Happy Stamping!

Jackpot!

Hi Ai Fans!
Well I must admit this is never me at the Casino LOL! The slot machine eats my money and in a few pulls I'm done! "Slots Jean" on the other hand won the Jackpot!! Jean also reminds me of the MIL who loves her trips on the bus to the Casino and tells us she always breaks even. Hmmmmm, not sure about that LOL!
I've had this paper in my stash for awhile now and it sure came in mind when I pulled the "Slots Jean" set out to create with!
Here's the decorated inside of my card. The set comes with the image, Jackpot and this sentiment rubber stamp.
Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20
Hair and stool: C3, C6, C8
Dress: R35, R37, R39
Slot machine: BG11, BG13, BG15, BG18

Flower Power!

Hi CDD Fans!
I'm sharing another card with you today inspired by the Craftin Desert Divas August Mood Board Challenge.
I was inspired with the top right picture of the flowers. I am using the CDD Digital Stamp called "Flower Power".
I had the idea in my head of making a flower border down the side of my card. It took quite a bit of work to size the flowers differently and place them overlapping each other. I love how it turned out though! With Digital stamps the sky is the limit to what you can create! I used my Silhouette machine to cut out my flower border. There is lot's of glitter added too using Diamond Stickles to the flowers and butterflies. I took a piece of white patterned vellum and placed it over a piece of blue cardstock. I made a frame from the CDD Inside Scallop Squares die and added the "Hugs" sentiment from the CDD "Simply Said" sentiment set. A few enamel dots finished it all off!

Thanks for stopping by today!
Happy Stamping!
