DD#20, RS#29 & CFC70

There are so many fantastic challenges in blogland this week and all scream for Halloween to me.  I combined the Dynamic Duos #20: Black Tie Lucky Limeade and Basic Black with a dessert options of  a Halloween Theme along with this week's RetroSketch and CAS-ual Fridays challenges.  I followed Laurie's sketch from RetroSketches pretty closely.  This is my second card for CAS-ual Fridays this week which was black & white plus one other colour.

I pulled out a really old set of Hero Arts wood block Halloween Ink n' Stamp, I am not even sure the name of the set as they don't carry it anymore.  I used some of the images that I could enhance with some Copic markers.  I created some inchies, rounded the corners and mounted them onto 1 1/4" Simply Chartreuse square also with the corners rounded and then adhered them to a True Black panel that had been embossed with Papertrey's Herringbone Impression Plate.  The mummy is a glittered chipboard accent from My Minds Eye Boo to You from my stash.

Time for another colour challenge at the colourQ.  The weeks are passing by so quickly, the days are still hot and the evenings are cool for sleeping. I decided to go with an Autumn feel for my card this week using the palette Arielle put together.

CFC69 & Dynamic Duos #19

I can't believe it but it is time for my my first Christmas card of the season!  This week's challenge at CASual Fridays is to create a clean and simple project using embossing.  While over at Dynamics Duos this week's colour are Cajun Craze & Always Artichoke which I translated into PTI Terracotta Tile & Ripe Avocado.  I pulled out two rubber stamps that I purchased when I was in University.  They are by Magenta which is a Canadian company.  The stamps are so old that they don't even have names, only numbers. The two flowers paired together make the most beautiful poinsettia in my eyes.  I went with both dry embossing on the Ripe Avocado layer and heat embossing  with tinsel embossing powder.
