Wicked Cool

I really think that I bought this stamp set for its name.  The image with the witch boots is my favorite but I didn't even use it on this card.  I have been planning to do the Saturday Challenge at Pink Paper Bakery for weeks and I knew this was the perfect stamp set for it.  The challenge is to create a card with masking or reverse masking.  I chose reverse masking to give the impression of the moon behind the candelabra.  I stamped the image in black first.  To create the moon, I punched a 1 3/8" circle out of a rectangle piece of cardstock.  Instead of using the circle, I used the rectangle piece as a stencil and sponged the moon.  Now, I had the image I wanted but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it.  Then, I came upon the Fab Friday sketch challenge and it all just came together.

I love the bats stamped on the First Edition DSP and the button adds a finishing touch.  I really had a lot of fun with this card and I hope that you enjoy it.

I Dig You

When I saw the sketch on Freshly Made Sketches, I knew exactly what I wanted to use.

The chevron print in the Festival of Prints DSP stack is one of my favorites and I wanted to use it in a non-Christmas way.  I combined it with the truck from I Dig You, a favorite in my house full of boys, and here it is.  Enjoy!
