Spooky Tree!

Hi, there!  I have been wanting to share this "spooky" tree card I made with some stamps from The Stamps Of Life.  I love making Halloween cards using the brayered sky technique for the background!  I can not resist making at least one each year!  For this sky, I used So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango. I always start with my lightest color first and then layer them on from there.  I just punch a circle out of a post it note and stick it on while I am brayering, to create the white moon.
The tree is from the leaves4fall set.  This set is fun, because you can leave the tree bare, or add leaves to it.  The sentiment and the bat are from the thanks2fall set.
I used the chevron die from TSOL, to cut my image panel.  I then just attached them to my black card base, leaving a space so the black showed through.  I love the way it turned out, and will be doing this again with more border dies!

This card is perfect for the Paper Playtime challenge this week!

Thanks for stopping by!

Here is a card I made for this week's {ippity} challenge-to make a masculine card.  I know, I know...I put a ribbon on it.  Just couldn't help it.  At least it is a masculine ribbon-black and white gingham can be masculine...right?  LOL!
I used the brayered sky technique for this.  I layered soft sky, apricot appeal, pumpkin pie, really rust with the brayer.  I sponged some of the Memento black around the edges after stamping the cat tails and the sentiment.  The cat tail is from the {ippity} where you should be set and the sentiment is from What Matters Most.  I just LOVE these stamps!  They make me super duper happy inking them up.  I am getting ready to schedule my first big class in the next couple of weeks.  I have been waiting for my basement to be finished and it will be done by the end of the week! HOORAY!
