I've been in such a creative funk lately that I decided to treat myself to something new - this Newton's Nook Pug-Kin stamp. I colored it with Copics, adding neon yellow for the jack-o-lantern eyes, nose and mouth. I die cut the dual tags and added some (r) Wild Wasabi ribbon, along with some grass that was die-cut with a SNSS grassy die. The spider was from a Tim Holtz stamp set and both the card base and spider papers were cut with stitched rectangle dies. The sentiment is by SU! from the (r) Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.
Here's how I decorated the inside with assorted stamps from Lil Inker, and Tim Holtz.
I decided to make another card with a straight design instead of the tilted tag, using different dsp for the background.
and here's how I decorated the inside, using Brutus Monroe and Lil Inker dies. Coloring was done with Copics and glaze pens
I'm entering the first card into the following challenges:
NBUS #19 - the Newton's Nook Pug-Kin stamp
Cute Card Thursday challenge #656 - Halloween
the Snippets Playground #389 - use snippets
These are all so cute! I know what you mean, Carol. I did the same thing... It's not that I don't have more than enough crafting supplies...but I needed a little something new to spark my creativity...to get me crafting again.
ReplyDeleteSuch adorable cards, the dog in the pumpkin is so cute and I like how you made scenes on a tag with him, the other cards are fun too, the sentiment is fabulous! Nice coloring on all the cards!
ReplyDeleteSometime mojo comes and goes, so a crafty treat is absolutely needed! :D Well done for choosing that pug in the pumpkin, how cute!!!
