Thinking of You Ivy

Hello and welcome.  I hope you are having a great weekend thus far.  Today I am sharing a card I made for this week's Play Date Cafe Color Splash challenge.  After seeing the colors, I knew immediately the set I wanted to use, so I pulled out my Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company set Ivy and Blossoms and got to work.

After stamping my main image in memento cottage ivy ink onto MFP white card stock then layering onto black linen card stock (my favorite BTW), I added my saying in memento black just below the ivy before adding the layered image to the card itself.  Since there was some additional white space, I also added a friendship saying from the same Ivy and Blossoms stamp set with no embellishments.  A nice clean and simple card that says a lot and took only 10 minutes to make.

Trick or Treat For Hope

Second post for me today.  If you're looking for my Cornish Heritage Farms post, please scroll down one.

A friend of mine recently rak'd me some cricut die cuts and a haunted house I was looking for.  Thank you Janis!!! Here's her blog if you'd like to visit.  There's lots of inspiration there. So when I saw one of the Splitcoast Hope You Can Cling To Monster Mash challenge, I pulled them out along with my Halloween stamp sets from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company.  After adding some Graphic45 Halloween designer paper, to my card, I stamped out my images from MFP's I'm Going Batty and Tree Greetings in memento tuxedo black onto snow storm white and colored with prismacolor markers before cutting them out.  I also used two sneak peeks Cracked Hello and Halloween Selections to help add some subtle touches to the card.

 

Once all of my coloring was finished and cut out, I added the cut out images to the die cuts and a pumpkin sticker from K&Company.  Here's a look at the inside of my card.
