Frankenstein

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays.  I love seeing all the kids dressed up in costumes.   It is just a stress-free night of celebration.   A student asked to make this Frankenstein card.  With a little help from Connor we were able to put this together.

There a lot of little details that I like about this card.  We cut the card base down a little to allow for the hair to hang off the edges.  I think it added a little more realism to the card.  We sponged around the edges to nose, eyes and face to add depth.  My absolute favorite was adding white gel pen to his eyes.  It just gave him life.

I hope you had a spooky day!

Fragrant Garden

Happy Throw-back Thursday,

Hello all,  We made this card way back in April as part of the Card Lover's class.  It has one of my favorites from the Spring.  We used chalk to create a "sunset" pattern on the back panel.  Then used a die to cut a flower.  This allows the black paper to show through.   It is such a simple technique that creates beautiful look.

Going Nuts

Hello Friends,

This little squirrel is a problem solver.   He stacked up the acorns in order to share his beautiful flower with the raccoon that stole his heart.  It is NUTS, I know!   Okay...enough non-sense.  Here is the card.

This card is a little harder to make than it appears at first.  First I colored the acorns,  and critters.  Then I cut them out.  I had a die for the squirrel, so I used it.  Now that I see the card all finished, I think I should of fussy cut the squirrel too to get rid of the white border.

I also used a black pen to extend the tree to the top of the card.  The stamp wasn't big enough to stretch the length of the card.
