Happy Holidays...
I am taking a break from any challenges this week. Just decided to show some of my cards I made over the last couple years. I
colored this with regular brush markers but the ornament was
done with a water brush and marker. Added silver starlight gel to circles and top with dimensional glaze. I think the image is inkadinkado???
Anyway see ya next week, stay happy!!!

I got as dark as I could get with this one....
I used orange cardstock from DCWV, distressed the front by applying tape and peeling away layers and scruffing up with burnt umber ink,
random scorbug and scor-pal used. Hat was stamped on white cardstock and I drew melted area in green and cut-out and glued to card front.
T-3039 Pumpkin Day (retired) was used for hat and witching you, the rest of saying was stamped on clear sticker sheet trimmed close and stuck to card. I was stumped for this challenge, but had a couple cards in my head and got them done Fri. nite watching Medium on CBS. I hope you get the pun!

Gold Greetings to all...
Here is my card for SSC, which had to have weaving. I used DCWV cardstock for base and scored with scor-pal and scor-bug on sides.
Distressed the card edges too. I used Nesties Label #1 for the gold dotted-swiss embossed and
green DCWV cardstock. All strips are same cardstock used for weaving and cut out with scalloped oval Nestie. TAC stamp sets are the Holly from T-1253 Christmas Fun and the Merry Christmas Oval R-2721 (both sets retired).
I embossed the Merry Christmas Oval with detail gold powder on white bristol board cut out and touched edges with burnt umber ink. The Holly was embossed with black detail powder on Bristol board and colored with Marvy brush Markers and stardust red and green pens from Sakura. I took my time getting the idea as it is the middle of the week, but I think it was worth it. I am liking my own work and may have to make several more. What do you think?

I love this card so much it will work for the SSC
Challenge...
The challenge was Nature that you'd see in the fall. I used all TAC stamps and DCWV papers.
Stampsed leaves on paper and cut out for fall colors and texture. The red leaf is embossed with
cuttlebug folder spiderweb and gold ink rubbed on surface. The coloring of the leaf pile was done with markers and waterbrush. You can get so many colors by adding water. I don't use watercolor paper so I have to keep it from getting too wet. What do ya think?

This one was quick....
Got new inkadinkado stamp Gravestone and
just repeated it without the raven. Popped up
middle stone, added popped witch and ghosts for an errier feel no words needed. Gray base card
was scorebugged and I ran the bug over black ink pad first to darken holes. Stamped TAC India Ink off once and on card base with euphoric elements T-2851(retired). Used T-2868 fresh air favorites in gray on card front at bottom edge, not really meant to be seen heavily. All color on this card was Marker and waterbrush. India Ink for all stamping. The bats were from another inkadinkado stamp with a cresent moon, I masked off moon and stamped just the bats 3 times. ALL popped pieces are stamped on bristol board which is very heavy. Wire is glued to back of witch for support as I cut it out closely. All white edges of pieces were washed with gray. Hope it is Ghastly Enough.....

I love cranberries....
This is my card for SSC using a turkey.
I used Kraft cardstock for the base and all the cardstock is The Paper Co. The "tail-feathers" are
T-742 Luscious Leaves(retired) and The Turkey
is T-1139 Give Thanks all TAC sets. I used computer font Vintage Typewriter in Maroon
printed on clear full sheet labels, cut in strips and applied to card. I planned the turkey and my Tom came up with the words.
We work together like this alot. The turkey was colored with Bic Markers. All leaves for tail were stamped and cut out and glued on. Turkey is popped up on foam tape.
I hope ya'll like this one!!
