La-La Land Crafts Inspiration Friday - Halloween

Dies - Frightful Fence Die

Spooky House Die

Eerie Bats Die

Sentiment - Lil' Devil Marci Stamp

I used lots of fun dies by La-La Land Crafts to create this Halloween Card.

I inked all the edges with tea dye distress ink and then added pearl paint with my finger to the fence, house and background patterned paper.  I added machine stitching in orange to the pp, kraft cardstock and fence.  I punched a circle/moon, stamped the sentiment, inked with tea dye and added crackle accents.

The pearl acrylic paint almost looks like cobwebs in real life!

Butterflies & Bees

Supplies:  Kraft Cardstock - Bazzill Basics, White Cardstock - Anita's, 

sentiment - Waltzingmouse stamps, white embossing powder, 

versamark ink, pearls, butterfly punches - Martha Stewart and 

roller adhesive - Tombow.

This week's challenge on Paperplay is "Butterflies and Bees"

I decided to make lots of little butterflies and place them tone on tone and make them look like they are flying or just fluttering momentarily before they head off on a further adventure!

I decided to add the sentiment "Congratulations" to this card as it could be for a Wedding/Anniversary or Engagement.

New Addition!

I have been missing from blogland recently - here's why!

We welcomed "Clarly" into our home last Friday and before that we were busy "puppy proofing" our home!.

She is 7 weeks old and is a Lab x G. Retriever.  She is adorable and is settling in well.

We are puppy walking for the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind - if you want to learn more check out the link here.

Thanks for stopping by - I will try to pop by everyone's blogs over the coming weeks, there just aren't enough hours in the day at present!

This week's inspiration is "Heavy Metal" - I just loved Hunny Bunny Marci and decided to use her to create a fun card with a metal word. 

I added hand stitching with embroidery floss to attach the word to the cardstock.  I then stamped "Hunny Bunny Marci" a number of times on patterned paper from the "Happy Go Lucky" collection and paper pieced Marci's fun outfit.  I just had to add googly eyes to her hat!
