CAS on Sunday

As much as I love making elaborate cards, my favourite has to be the Clean and Simple Style. Over at Addicted to CAS the theme is HOME.

I created this card using a PaperArtsy set of stamps, stamping the image onto different coloured papers before paper piecing the image. To frame the card I used a thin black liner pen to doodle!

Quick, Clean and Simple!

Getting Ready for some Spooky Fun!

With Halloween just around the corner, my son and I have been doing some spooky crafting. Tonight we have painted a china pumpkin, a bat and made some pipe cleaner spiders!

And back in the craft room, I have been making a Halloween Card.

I had great fun creating the background - first using Distress Ink in Stormy Sky, Black Soot and Dusty Concord on Centura Pearl Card (the uncoated side). I used a mask to create the tree silhouettes in the background. I then stamped and embossed the two trees and the gate is just the top of a Paper Artsy full size stamp. The bat I stamped in Distress Ink too. Finally I made a banner which reads Happy Halloween!
