MONDAY-Evening- Happy Halloween

Hi Everyone,
Stay safe out there!!!!!

Here are some treat bags I've been working on today for tonight's handouts.  I have already given some out so I thought I better photograph them so I can enter them into some challenges.

So here are the images:
They are in a Harry Potter book that opens up and says spooky things.

This will fit a few challenges  I will post them as I find them. Except for the witches all those characters on the  bag were part of my winnings from Agnes at flowerdisco.blogspot.com

BBTB2:  A Ghost from paper dolls
BBTB2: Happy Hauntings witch
FCC:  Birds
PAPER VARIETY: Halloween
Frosted Designs: food or candy
CARDZ TV spooky, monster and halloween

MONDAY- Morning- AGAIN __experimenting with Stamping background paper

Experimenting again making background paper with stamps. I used a Basic grey stamp set and an inkadinkadoo  all occasion stamp set.
Jenni Bowlin and versafine inks and whisper strokes pens to color in the balloons.
PTI card stock basic white and New leaf.


Birthday sundaes:

MONDAY- Morning- experimenting with Stamping background paper

I really like this tree image from S&P stamps, the rectangle and the star are also on this set. To stamp this background paper I used Jenni Bowlin inks (candy stick, cough syrup, lemon drops, seed packet and malted milk). The Holly Jolly Christmas is from My Pink Stamper Winter treats and sayings- the Holly Jolly is one stamp and the Christmas is a portion of another stamp that I used a whisper strokes pen to just ink up that word. This is stamped on PTI basic white all the other papers are PTI leaf prints set. The little tiny flowers are from a basic gray stamp set that I won over at Creative cutter room

Sunday Evening-

Hi Everyone,
I seem to be getting in the swing of things, as far as posting and Provo Craft corrected the problem with the imagine not recognizing the cricut carts.  I did all the updates today and so far everything I have tried has worked I need to visit some of you tomorrow- I definitely need to get to the gym, I did a  lot of sitting and eating, but I would not trade it for anything. It was great seeing my family.
All papers are PTI (spring moss, leaf prints), except for the little Nursery Tails image of the deer, which is printed on AC card stock. The ribbon is sheer apple green and the sentiment is from Studio g.  This is a very simple A2 card. I did some layering with  4 different patterns which gives it a more intricate look.
I'm entering this into
Whimsical Wednesday:Fall- must include an animal 
Craft Creations Challenge: FALL

I love how this turned out I hope you do to.

SUNDAY-AFTERNOON-

Here is my Hello Kitty Spooky Halloween  Ghost post.  Hello Kitty decided to wear a Darth Vader Ghost costume. Fits these challenges:
BBTB2: Hello Kitty Halloween challenge
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge: Spooky time with a ghost on it
Die cuttin Divas: Halloween colors
Shopping our stash: Halloween or Fall

SUNDAY-Morning-- I'M HOME

Hi Everyone,
Thank you all for the well wishes on my trip.
I can not believe how much dust accumulates in 10 days. I had to get in my art studio ASAP.
Here is what I have for you.

First of all I really got excited about Christmas after having gone to Bronner's. That is why the Christmas card.
First I took PTI basic white 4 x5.25 card stock and ran it through my BIG KICK with  a Christmas themed texture plate.

I don't have a rubber brayer so I used stamping foam and rolled it around my plastic brayer. Then, I rolled it on an ink pad and then rolled it over my embossed image, to get this cool effect.  The ink I used is Jenni Bowlin seed packet and cough syrup around the sentiment.

This is the finished card. The card is an A2  size.  The brad and Sentiment is from Theresa Collins

 I thought while I'm experimenting I might as well do a few more ATC's this is just the beginning of this series.

Here is the link to the Bronner's Christmas http://www.bronners.com/store.cfm store. Oh and they have free shipping until October 31st with a certain amount purchase. If  you can't find a code e-mail me and I will look it up and get it to you.

Thanks for visiting.
Hugs, Diana

SATURDAY-Morning- LUFP

 Good Morning,
I ended my Friday evening with linking up for pink and I'm starting my morning linking up for pink. I am always experimenting.  Here is my latest. I took Quik Kutz stamping foam and created my own ribbon stamp, and then I put it on a QK rocker. I used colorbox Pink ink and I used a red sable watercolor brush and water to give it the watercolor effect. I made a few different kind I really like how they came out and I need to link one more up for pink, because I missed the first day.

 I used one of my discarded watercolor paintings and cut up a bunch of  2 1/2 x 3/12 ATC's, for further use

 Here I am stamping to get a faded look, I think it came out pretty good, depending on the back ground paper I use this may work real well.

Here is my finished card
A2
PTI spring moss cardstock
All my patterned paper is from heirloom (IC)
colorbox chalk ink
sentiment: TCP studios Faith sayings

FRIDAY-AFTERNOON - FANTABULOUS CRICUT CHALLENGE-Home Decor

 Ever since I saw this challenge on Monday, I have been  thinking what would I make that I would hang on my walls at home, from cricut cuts. With Christmas around the corner. I thought this would be perfect and even after I made it I thought I would put this on my wall.

This is medium sheet copper, I used Cricut Cartridge Christmas Noel for the angel and I used Chomas engraving tool, I just love these products. I ATG'D the SEI paper onto the wooden stretcher bars, then went from there layering the papers the frame is 7 1/2 x 9 1/4
the first paper cut is 7x9
the next is 4 1/4x 4 3/4, 4x 41/2, 3 3/4x 4 1/4
the Angel is engraved at 3" and then  again using the deep cut blade , it didn't quite cut all the way through so I used scissors to finish it up.
I absolutely love how this came out.

Another artist who is in a museum right now is contributing 6 pen and inks.  I spoke with a clerk/college student at an art store the other day who was doodling and I said, That looks like the beginning of an artist trading card.
