Another Ghost Card

Hi! 
I have another shaker Halloween card- and this time the ghost is from the Booyah set by Lawn Fawn-- so stinking cute! There are stamps of hats, wigs and a variety of facial expressions so the ghosts can be dressed up to go Trick or Treating!
I used a ship stamp from Simon Says Stamp and used white embossing powder--my thought was to make it look like a ghost ship....it just looks like a white ship-LOL. I also heat embossed the sentiment. The skull on the pirate hat is colored with a yellow glitter pen- so very cool in person.

Ahoy Matey (in honor of talk like a pirate day!) is the theme for this month's challenge at Words to Scrap By

The Male Room Sketch

Greetings! The sketch posted at The Male Room is super clean and crisp. It lets the image or the sentiment take center stage. I rotated the sketch and used a Paper Smooches dino and Lawn Fawn sentiment and came up with an easy, fun card for a little boy. Have you visited the Male Room yet? Go check it out!

Lawn Fawn Winter Sparrows Chirping on OWH Sketch #191

Happy Sunday! We have a wonderful new sketch today at OWH, the Patriots won, I enjoyed a fabulous breakfast out with my BFF, I purchased some farm fresh apples and veggies, the sun is shining and I used Lawn Fawn stamps,dies and paper on my card today! Overall- a very nice day!

Today's sketch is brought to us by Kaylee who creates great cards and posts at 104cards.blogspot.com.

                                    

I really like the sketch- you can use scraps but I used Lawn Fawn Peace, Joy and Love 6x6 paper pad and the winter sparrows stamp and die sets. So stinkin cute! And super easy using the dies with the stamps. I have no clue what color winter sparrows should be-but I wanted them blue so I pulled out my trusty Copics in 3 different shades of blue. Do you see the other blue birds in the patterned paper on the banner? The gems are from Basic Grey. 

My pal Kelly and I are getting back into a card making groove-it was hard to get together during the summer-but we are back!  You have to wait to see Kelly's cards but here is one of mine! 

This little elf is by darcie heater designs- I purchased the stamps and 'tin pin' embellishments (heads) last year at my LSS Absolutely Everything and made a few cards. I was thrilled to find more in my box of Christmas stamps and papers. The head may be a bit too bumpy-- I am going to send it to Sandy at OWH and hopefully it will be ok.  If not- I hope she can use as a hero card-which can be big, bumpy and odd shapes since the hero cards are packed on the top of the box! The stamp can also be used without the tin head so I plan to color some more. And I am going to change the sentiment- I am not loving this one!
Thanks for stopping by and please remember to keep our troops in your prayers and do not forget to craft on!
Take care,
Diane
