2 Cute 2 Spook

We are midway through the Card For A Child Under 10 Challenge.  My inspiration for this card comes from when my children were under 5 and a couple of neighbouring children took my children Trick or Treating down our street.  They both wore sheets with holes cut out for the eyes.

I have used an image from Scribbles Designs called Ghostly and a sentiment called Too Cute To Spook.

I used a paper from a Halloween paper pad by DCWV.  As a country that doesn't really do Halloween on a big scale, we don't often have Halloween crafting items so when I saw paper pads a couple of years ago, I grabbed a couple of them.  I am hoping that they might have them again this year as I could do with some more.

Anyway, back to the card.  Colouring of the image is with copic markers and Wink Of Stella.  Matting is black cardstock.  I also added some glitter Halloween embellishments.

So Very Thankful

 Although it is meant to be Spring here (the weather doesn't seem to think so), I see inspiration on challenge blogs that is centred around autumn so I am tending toward those colours a fair bit.

Congratulations - Baby Girl

 I like doing baby cards in brighter colours when I have the opportunity.  Not everyone is a fan of pastel colours so it is good to have some non-pastel options.

I followed the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches:

Mini Card with Mini Tag

 I had some issues with this one as I only had a very little tag die so I decided to make a Mini Card.  The card is 8cm x 8cm.  It also gave me the opportunity to use up some of the smaller pieces of Marianne Design paper that were offcuts from other cards:

Marianne Design - Card with a Tag
http://mariannedesign.blogspot.com/2020/09/challenge-255.html

I have used an offcut piece of cardstock and covered it with double sided tape.  I then applied the offcut pieces of design paper on an angle.  The pink lace piece is also an offcut piece which I cut with a die from Marianne Design.  I stamped a cupcake pattern on paper and then die-cut it into a tag shape using a different die from Marianne Design.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I mounted up the tag using mount tape and then added some twine through the hole in the tag.

I have used the following Marianne Design products:

PK9155 - Weathered Wood Paper

PK 9140 - Mixed Media Paper

LR0376 - Frame

EWS2206 - Cupcake Clear Stamp

COL1345 - Tag

This card will be used to attach to a gift.

Summer Time

Definitely not summer time here at the moment.  I can't remember Spring being as wet and windy as it has been this year.  Despite no sun today, I got my washing dry in just over an hour as the wind was so strong (and fortunately no rain in that time).  I think the rain isn't too far away though.

CHNC Patterned Paper - September Challenge
http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.com/2020/09/craftyhazelnuts-patterned-paper.html

I have used a digital paper from my Awaiting Crafting Box (source unknown).  I also embossed some white cardstock for the left side of the card.  I added some ric-rac braid over the join.  The image is from Hetty Clare Art and the sentiment is from Trimgym.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I added shell embellishments to the "sand" in the picture.

I'm not sure what happened with this post.  I published it yesterday and added it to the above challenges.  And then today, discovered that it had gone back to draft.  I so hate this new Blogger and it's quirks!

Love

I kept to a simple red, black and white colour scheme for this one:

We are currently in spring (not that the weather seems to think so) but I love using autumn colours so here is an autumn themed card:
