Halloween Week-Day #1

Yeah, I am probably the only person that had a panic attack when she realized that Halloween was at the end of the week. Now, mind you, I have my kids costumes done (thanks MOM!!), candy bought, fall decorations done, cookies baked.....

BUT this is the first year that I have ever had Halloween stamps--and the thought of putting these fun stamps away for a year--saddens me. I am not a big Halloween fan--but I am a kid fan. And what is better when you are a kid but to dress up in something you wish you were--(or glad you are NOT) and romp around the neighborhood begging for candy!!??!!!

So I am going to give my Halloween stamps one last go around this week. Today is the Branch Set form Starving Artistamps (the sentiment is from the Trick or Treat set).

Other details: the branch is heat embossed with black ep; the dp is Basic Grey as is the rub on:the ribbon was heated to whither up a bit; the moon was masked and then reverse masked. As always you can click on the picture to get a closer view.

Thanks for stopping by!!

A couple of cards...

I am just getting started in playing with the new Bees Sheet at Starving Artistamps.  If you haven't been to Starving Artistamps, lately, you have probably missed some new stuff.   And don't forget my 10% off deal for you there!!

The oak leaves are just fabulous!  Though it is hard to see in the picture--the stamp is inked with orange and then rolled in bright pink.  The outline leaf and the sponging are done with Old Paper (Tim Holtz Distress Ink).

This next one uses the clover stamp and one of the bees.  The wings are covered in Judikins diamond glaze and the touch of yellow is from chalk pastels.

  Thanks for stopping by!!

 

And the winner is.....
