Have a Wicked Halloween for October's CCC

Here is the card I sent out for the October Card Chain Challenge at The Society of Stampaholics.This was my first time using pencil colors and Gamsol. It was interesting AND I need lots of practice. This adorable digital stamp is the Spooky Witch Toodle from Broken Box Stock. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Wicked Cool Stamp set. Miscellaneous unknown papers from my gigantic stash. You can't tell in the photos but the lil' witch is glammed up with some Clear Star from a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen. 

I forgot to take a photo of the envelope. It's lined with the same green striped paper as the card.
I'll have another Halloween card tomorrow.

September Card Chain Challenge -- Be the Chocolate

Below is the card I made for the September Card Chain Challenge at The Society of Stampaholics. http://dominodebi.typepad.com/sos/

I like the Card Chain Challenges because I am only making one card. Sometimes during the school year I get too busy to do swaps of multiple cards.

The DRESS!

I know everyone is making dress cards, but I couldn't help myself. They are so adorable! The following two links are for two different templates (I have used both).

The link below has a video with instructions and a template to print (I did not use these)
http://www.stampacademy.com/free_videos/pattern-dress-card/

The animal print is from a bag from something I purchased at a boutique booth at South Bend Farmer's Market.

When cutting the template piece for the skirt, use temporary adhesive so that you can leave the template in place to see the fold lines. When folding start on either side of the skirt with a valley fold, next a mountain, and repeat both one more time. Go to the other side of the skirt and repeat that process. Adhere the skirt to the card base first. For the top of the dress (bodice for the sewers) adhere the bottom section however you like. To add dimension to the bodice use foam tape in the chest area. Add tiny pearls or other bling for buttons and a belt of ribbon tied in a bow. I had soo much fun making these cards! It was hard to stop.

This is my favorite.

 Somehow, I lost a couple of bows.

All papers are Stampin' Up.
The sentiment stamp is from Stampin' Up's Petite Pairs.

Card Inside

I made a template for the hills. After adhering the back hill layer I used Walnut Stain and Peeled paint Ranger Distress Inks to ink the tree stamp. Versa Fine onyx black ink was used for the sentiment. The remaining hill layers were adhered with foam squares. The leaves on the inside of the card were cut with Cuttlebug Leaf Dies.

Papers were all from my stash.
