Hello, dear friends! Didn't mean to disappear on y'all like I did... It wasn't intended to be a "seasonal" trick, as I am MUCH happier when I get to craft and visit with the most talented and dear corner of the universe... BLOGLAND!!!! But "the other world" just needed me toooooo much and I had to go cold-turkey to face the challenges presented to me this past week... *sob!* I hope you haven't given up on me all together, as I enjoy you all so!!! I've missed you and your love and FANTASTIC creations so very much! {This NEXT week just has to be kinder....One can hope! DOH!} I am SOOOOO looking forward to seeing what you've been up to! TRULY!
Here's some spirited fun just to say "HEY! I'm baaaaaa-ck!"
Just a fun lil' card I made a while back to showcase some diversity with this cool S/U! set in fun techniques... 1) Making a stamp do more than one job (creating the "forest" with the owl/tree image.... 2) The magic of stamping on GLOSSY card stock and fun effects you can achieve... (glowy pumpkin was first stamped with a solid yellow circular stamp, then dried, then stamped with orange... then ROLLED in black for a shadowy edge... very cool!) 3) "Spotlighting" a portion of the main image with the punched oval.... 4) Watercolor technique ON glossy card stock to create spooky sky with aqua pen and Watercolor Wonder Crayons.. whoopee! - which is such fun: you can really work and re-work the paint over the Staz On stamped owl and tree image... I avoided the eyes and then went back in with a marker to give them a mystical yellow glow.... Oooohhhhhhh ahhhhhh aaaahhhhh! See! All those fun things to do in ONE play ground! It's a wonder I can ever get anything done in "real life!" tee hee
And just another lil' slice of Halloween fun ~ this is a pumpkin I made for DEAR, DEER friends!
Actually, I carved this pumpkin for "Mr. Paper Daydream!" He's the dashing partner to super-craftilicious, herself, sweet Dana G.! She posted a spectacular picture of her man and her darling girls and man, did this baby look sa-wheeeeeet next to them! Anywhoo, it was darling of Dana to feature this along with her most recent work for the JUGS team, so take a peek!
Meanwhile, I surely appreciate you understanding about my blog absence. I WON'T be making a habit of that... I missed ya WAY too much! Please have a darling, sweet and spooky Halloween! EEEeeeeeekkkkkkkk!
All card making supplies were by Stampin' Up!, except for the Staz On ink!
