Final Halloween MOJO

Figured I'd sneak one last Halloween card into the mix with this weeks MOJO Monday's sketch challenge. I had fun putting together a little creepy with a little cute on this card.

After smooch spritzing my very vanilla cardstock with Silver Foil, I then took a dry paint brush and dabbed over the top with a bit of Basic Black Ink. The edges were also darkened with a sponge and black ink.

I couldn't resist making the most of this fabulous DSP, so pulled the Treats word out along the bottom of my card and also cut out a nasty black rat, which once I put the red jeweled eye on, totally gave me the chills. The cute little owl was heat embossed with black embossing powder and his little treat bag was cut out and popped up with a left over piece of the Pick Your Poison DSP.

Hope you all have a wonderfully SPOOKY and fun Halloween!

I feel like I've been away from Stamping FOREVER...having a baby and making wedding invitations will do that to you, however. Here's a challenge card that's over 2 months old. I FINALLY had the time to sit down and whip it up the other day. The challenge was to make a "green" card with something "found" outside. My "something found" happens to be the little metal circle. There are a bunch of new homes going up in our neighborhood and I picked up a few of these shiny metal circles on the ground near the homes. I stamped in CRAFT chocolate chip and then embossed with clear embossing powder. In order to get the chunky glitter to stick, I wrapped each metal circle with "sticky tape" and then rolled it in the glitter, voila, BLING!! Also, my first time using smooch spritz, FUN FUN! Just make sure you have a small shoe box to spray in or you'll have smooched your entire desk...Also inked up my NEW Artistic Etchings stamp set for the first time.
