Splashes of Watercolor

C4C60 - The last of the Halloween cards...

~

FINALLY!  I've finished all of the Halloween cards for the grandkids. And how convenient is it that the Crazy 4 Challenges #60 challenge is to create a Halloween themed project!  Thanks, Silke, for helping me out!

I made 2 of this first, really simple card.  One is for Molly, my 18 month old granddaughter, and the other is for Annabelle, George's 2 year old granddaugher.

I used a cut-out of a Spellbinders template and did reverse masking to sponge the moon.  The sentiment was stamped, and then I just drew the outline.

And here's the inside (I love it!):

Cute, huh?  The cloud and ghost are both really sparkly in real life.

Now here's the second card.  It's for Maya, who's almost 12.  I think she'll love it!

This is a Tiddly Inks digital stamp called "Batty".  I used a glitter gelly roll pen to highlight her hair and skirt after coloring with Copic markers.  The bat was stamped a second time, cut out and covered with Ranger Crackle Accents.

Thanks for stopping by to look and for being patient as I work my way through the "spooky" holiday!

Light My Life - Color Throwdown #106

~

Time for another Color Throwdown, y'all!  Danielle chose a color combination that I would definitely consider to be a beachy one!  And since I just got some new super-cute images at Tiddly Inks, I had to color one up!

~

~

I had played along in the CAS-tastic challenge a couple of weeks ago and was lucky enough to be the random winner of a Tiddly Inks gift certificate.  They have some adorable images!  This one is called Light My Life.

~

~

My card is based on the CPS180 sketch.

I know you can't see it in the photo of the entire card, but check out that adorable little dog in my post topper photo.  You can also see that I spritzed the entire kraft card base with Glimmer Mist.  It's so sparkly in real life!  If you look REALLY closely at the larger photo, you can see a tiny lobster claw sticking up out of the boat!!

We'd love for you to play along with us this week.  You can check out the details at the Color Throwdown blog.  Then be sure to get inspired by visiting all the DT blogs:
