Have a Happy Halloween, Big Boy!

Can you believe how fast Halloween is approaching?! Wow! It'll be here before you know it! In honor of Halloween, I have a fun, sexy Halloween card to show you. How's that, for a masculine card?! Perfect for that special guy in your life.  This card is for a friend, for Halloween.  I'm sure he's going to love it!

For my card, I've used the image, Bite Me, by The Stamping Chef, colored with Promarkers. My card layout uses the sketch at Feeling Sketchy. This black, white and gray chevron paper is the perfect background. I've used a scrap of black fabric tulle that has a fun purple foil spiderweb pattern on it. I've used two thin strips of green and black bat patterned paper on each side of the tulle, to highlight the tulle.  A clear star gelly roll pen was used to highlight the web on the image and add sparkle. Three spider buttons in purple and black add the finishing touch. All papers are scraps from my stash, as is the piece of tulle.

Itsy Bitsy Spiders

TTTTTTTTTTTableau Tuesday! Whooo Hoo! Tableau Tuesday is a free week for the Daisy's Doodles design team. This means we can create whatever we want using whatever image we want! I love Tuesday because sometimes I get all worked up and create some crazy stuff! LOL

While I have you here, did you know that Daisy's Doodles is looking for guest designers to join us for Tableau Tuesdays? We'd love to have YOU joins us for a month as Guest DT! That would be two cards per Guest DT spot. (Every other Tuesday) You even get to choose images to work with, from the Daisy Doodles Store!

Head over to Daisy's Doodles and get all the info! Email us to get your spot as Guest DT with the team!


Okay, back to the business at hand, now.

For my card today, I'm still in Halloween mode! LOL (Can you tell it's my all time favorite holiday?!) I went the monochromatic route and played with these spiders from Daisy's Doodles. The fabulous paper is from the Apothecary line by Echo park. I punched the webs out of black cardstock with a spiderweb punch by Martha Stewart, then added black and white baker's twine to the card to make it look like each spider is hanging from a string of web. The spiders are colored with Promarkers and then cut out and attached with foam mounting tape.


I am entering this fun monochromatic card in the following challenges:

Group Of Ghoulish Ghouls

I have another Halloween project for you today! This is my favorite holiday of all time so I've been having a blast being a busy busy Halloween girlie!

This is project #11 for the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps.

I present to you,10 Ghouls A-groaning! I went with a shaped card, shaped like a tag. This project is so eerie and creepy! Love how it turned out!

I used a creepy image from Wonderstrange, colored with Promarkers. I wanted him to be especially scary looking for this combination of papers, so I bloodied him up a little.

Wouldn't you hate to be driving down the street and see 10 of these after you?! Heck, I'd hate to see even one after me! Scary!

I used a mix of scraps of papers from Echo Park and Recollections. The spooky colored ribbon is from the Martha Stewart halloween collection. I used some black gems to highlight the one corner of the image frame.

Five Spooky Spooks

I guess you can all tell that I absolutely love Halloween! LOL! I thought I was done doin Halloween projects this year, till I found out about the 12 Days Of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps. I just had to play along, to have a chance at the grand prize! I've always wanted to be on thier DT!

Here is my project for Day 5 and the theme of 5 Spooky Spooks.

I decided to go with a tag, this time, to change it up a bit. I used scraps of papers from my stash, and distressed the edges of the tag and paper with a paper distressing tool, then distressed the edges with black ink. My image is by Wonderstrange and is colored with Promarkers. My tag layout uses Sketch #99 at Skipping Stones Designs. The orange polka dot ribbon is from my stash. I used a halloween diecut from the Apothecary line by Echo Park and distressed the edges of that with black, also. A punched spiderweb makes the perfect background for the creepy goblin.
