Happy Halloween!

Hi Everybody!
Today I wanted to show you a card I made using the Art Impressions Halloween Tryfold set called Haunted House. I love colouring the Tryfold images! There is a lot of colouring involved but I find it just so relaxing and fun! 
I mounted my tryfold card onto another base layer. I just love how the orange gingham print helps make the colors pop!
I created a belly band to keep the card shut. I stamped an extra set of the pumpkins and fussy cut them out to add to the band.
Sometimes the Copics will bleed through, so a great tip is to put designer paper onto the back to hide the bleeding. It also adds an element of fun to the inside of your card!


Copics Used:
N1, N2, N3, N5, N7, E43, E44, E47, E95, E97, E99
YR02, YR04, YR07, YR09, Y15, Y17, G14, B000
YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97, BV02, BV04, BV08
W1, W3, W5, W7

The nice thing with the Haunted House TF set is that you don't have to use it as a "tryfold" you can always use the stamps separately or create a scene with them. The choice is yours and to me that's great value!

Guard Duty Rudy!

Are you stuffed?
So are you full to the brim? It was Thanksgiving this past weekend for us Canadians and we spent it up at the cottage doing nothing but eating LOL. I'm stuffed and probably don't have to eat all week now! For my post today I am sharing with you two cards using the adorable High Hopes Stamp called "Guard Duty Rudy".
I chose papers from the new Echo Park The Story of Fall 6x6 collection! The papers in this collection are beautiful, I almost wanted to hoard them rather than use them (LOL). I inked all the edges of my paper with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo.

Ghost Trio!

BOO!
Who could ever be scared of these adorable ghosts? Ghosts have to be my favourite Halloween image and these guys are just the sweetest! On my card today I am using the High Hopes stamp called "Ghost Trio". 
The Doodlebug October 31st collection goes perfectly with this stamp. I just love the candy corn paper as it matches with the candy corn the ghosts are collecting! to finish off my card I put Distress ink in Black Soot on all the edges of my papers and some Diamond Stickles on their little noses.

 On the inside I used the High Hopes sentiment called "Trick or Treat Greetings".
Copics Used:
Ghosts: C1, YR04, R00
Basket: C1, C2, C3, C5
Fence: E43, E44, E47
Grass: YG01, YG05, YG07
Candy corn: YR04, Y35
