Joy Clair Stamps - Happy Haunting!

Hello everyone!

Can you believe we are already at the end of August? Whew, Summer sure did fly by.  I am here with Joy Clair with a Halloween card which I am using Joy Clair's October Fun stamp set.

Here is my card:

Here is how I created my card....

My card is an A2 card, I used a background die to create the frame and trees.  I used distress ink to create the background.  I used a Wink of Stella marker to make the ground look like gravel.  I then stamped and used my scan and cut with the images from October Fun, the pumpkin is from the Trick or Treat Stamp set.  Before I adhered my images to the card I stamped the bats, spider and sentiment from  October Fun.  

Here is a closer look at the card.

Please be sure to come back to my blog or Joy Clair's blog for their 5th Anniversary celebration and blog hop next Friday, August 30th!  Of course there will be prizes.

Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #73 - Halloween

Hello everyone!

Welcome to another wonderful challenge with Retro Rubber!  The challenge for the next couple of weeks is "Make a Halloween Card".  I love making autumn cards, I love the rich colors of orange, brown, green and purple.  I hope you will play along with us!  To play along with the Retro Rubber Challenges you must use a stamp set that is at least a year old and tell us how old your stamp set is.



Here is my take on the challenge.  The adorable pumpkins are made by Joy Clair, called Trick or Treat.  The set was  released sometime in October 2015.  This set is adorable it has many elements in the set that you can add to the pumpkins.

Here is how I created my card:

1.  A2 card, 4 1/14 x 5 1/2, the orange layer is 4 x 5 1/4, the white layer is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8,

2.  I stamped the pumpkin images from the Joy Clair stamp set called Trick or Treat, I masked the images so they could be in a group,

3.  I colored the pumpkins with copics - Y17, Y38 and YR68, the stem is YG67,

4.  I stamped the images on the pumpkins with onyx black versafine ink pad,

5.  I die cut the  "Happy Halloween", I cut it out with black cardstock, but before I did that I added some 1/2 inch score tape to the back of the paper so when I die cut the words it would be ready to stick down on my card.  The words are so thin it would have been hard to add any adhesive to it,

6.  I added some black splatter to the card,

7.  I finished the card off by adding some orange enamel dots.

Thanks again for stopping by, please don't forget to stop over at the Retro Rubber Challenge blog and join the fun and check out the beautiful projects the design team members have created. You have until October 20th to join in on the fun!
