Poppy Stamps - Poppy Challenge - Old School

 Hello!  I am participating in the Poppy Stamps - Poppy Challenge this month.  The theme this month is Old School - mixing old and new products or using an older technique.   I created this Halloween card using some old and newer products from Poppy Stamps, see my link list below.  I started off with inking up a panel with Distress Inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Dusty Concord and Wilted Violet.  I then splattered it with white paint and water.   I set it aside to dry.  

I created the Haunted House from the Neighborhood Home Popup Easel Set craft die and put it off centered on the card and actual cut off a portion of the house to allow for my Boo Outline die.  I glued the windows and doors shifted to make it look like the house is old and breaking down!  I added a vellum panel behind the windows.  

I die cut the ghost from the Halloween Assemblage die from white card stock and white glitter paper from the Glitzy Glitter pad.  I die cut the Whittle Scary Guys die from white and white glitter paper.  I offset the glitter paper to give them a bit of sparkle.  

To finish off the panel, I die cut the Boo Outline from black and white glitter paper and added to the main panel.   Check out the challenge here at Poppy Stamps blog! 

Have a great and crafty day! 

Sunflowers - Pink Fresh Studios

 Hello!  It's time for another weekly challenge at Inspired By.  This week's challenge is Sunflowers!  I love to color flowers and had this Sunflower stamp set from Pink Fresh Studios.   I decided to go with a fall color inspiration!  Once August hits, I am so ready for fall!  My sentiment is from Poppy Stamps Foil it and die cut combo.  

I used the new The Greetery Aida Cloth Texture Plate to add some texture to my background panel.   I stamped the images from Sunflower stamp from Pink Fresh Studios and colored with my Copic markers.  This stamp is unique in that the entire stamp set stamps out multiple images and the die will die cut all the images at once.  I do have to put into my Misti at an angle.   But I love that there is only one die to place on the stamped images to cut them all out at once! 

Come play along with the challenge this week!  Have a great day!
