All Hallows' Eve

Time for Ghouls, Skeletons and Witches to roam.  With Halloween just around the corner, I thought I would do a card for my three year old Grandson.  He is into learning the different colours, so what better way to learn the colours of the rainbow than with this card.  I used Impression Obsession "Halloween Cutout Circles" and backed them with rainbow colours.  I added pop dots to make them stand out.  The background is an embossing folder from Tim Holtz which I inked up first.

Chin Up!

Time for me to try a different medium for my cards; coloured pencil crayons and Gamsol.  I tried colouring with pencil crayons once before and I didn't like it all.  Decided to give it another try with the help of another card maker.  I enjoyed it this time.  There is definitely room for improvement.  Today I made this giraffe to cheer up a friend.  The "Baby Giraffe" stamp set is from Impression Obsession.  I coloured the background using a copic marker.

Thanks for stopping by to have a look.

By the Sea

There is something majestic about seeing the ocean and the mountains at the same time.  It reminds me of Vancouver Island very early in the morning.  I embossed Impression Obsession Mountain Landscape Layers (347-W) instead of cutting them.  I used the the embossed lines for water colouring the mountains and then water coloured the ocean and fore land.  I die cut the lighthouse and the dolphins from the IO Mini Nautical Set (184-L).  I also die cut the seagull from IO Sea Birds      (078-F).
