Black Cats....

......of the spooky kind are featuring this week on Sunday Postcard Art as we begin our month of spooky challenges to celebrate Halloween month. Here's mine for this week.....

The background is done with masks and mica sprays, then a little overstamping.  Cut a strip of card, coloured it orange, stamped it with some text, edged with some black ink and then folded it and glued and stapled it into place at the bottom of the postcard. The cat, tiny bats and spiders web are die cuts (Tim Holtz and Memory Box). Why not pop over to Sunday Postcard Art and see the other spooky creations.

A spooky month......

.......is starting over on Tag Along with a month of Halloween inspired challenges. The first one is 'Something Wicked this Way Comes'. Here's my dark and gloomy creation for this week........

Lots of shimmery mica sprays in the background, then a bit of stamping and embossing and then a bit of die cutting for the bird (Tim Holtz) and the webs and spiders (Memory Box).

Do pop over to Tag Along and join in the fun.

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz, Buzzy Bee....

.....Buzz if you like but don't sting me! Sorry had that little ditty buzzing round my head all last night when I was doing this weeks postcard for SPA where the theme is Bees if you haven't already guessed! LOL!
Headed for my Sheena Douglass stamps for this one with her lovely bejewelled bee from her Fantasy Floral collection.  The quote is from another one of Sheena's sheets, thought it was apt as apparently bees defy physics because they should be too heavy to fly.

Autumn......

......I just love Autumn........ the colours, the crisp clear mornings after a slightly misty start.....it probably is my favourite season.  Well this week I'm hosting the challenge over at TagAlong so what better theme than 'Autumn Glory'.  Here's my giant tag......

I used Tim Holtz Tattered Leaves die and coloured the leaves with a mixture of shimmer sprays (photo doesn't show shimmer very well unfortunately). The background was painted with acrylic, shaded with a little ink and then I stamped and embossed some branches for a little texture. Stamped a second smaller tag for the sentiment/quote.

Whoops! Running late!
