Halloween Tilda Style!!!

This card won Top 5 over at Cupcake Challenges

I have been so busy coloring and creating this past week, I am having a blast exploring the internet for ideas and inspiration!!! Here is my newest card creation.

For this project, I colored up Jolly Roger Tilda and Spooky Tilda. These two adorable ladies are ready in their Halloween best to go hit the town trick or Treating.

I used the sketch from 7 kids college fund and doubled up the stamps to fulfill the challenge requirements. This sketch was so much fun!!!!

I used a brown paper bag as the matting for the Graphic 45 design paper. The challenge at Magnolia-Licious Highlights was to use a paper bag in your creation. I love how the brown lunch bag accented the design paper and accented it against the black cardstock base.
I used pop dots to pop up the sentiment, "Boo", which is stamped using my Heidi Swapp letter stamps. I stamped it in black ink and then went over it in black stickles to add some bling. I also popped up both Tilda images to make them stand out against the patterned paper.
I used Copic markers to color in both ladies.

Greeting farm contest

I entered a contest on the greeting farm website. The challenge was to alter a notebook, so I altered a composition book. It was such a fun challenge, and LOVE how this book turned out. I used GFS stamps of Sweet & Toxic, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. The creeper crew is in full effect on this book. This was one of my favorite projects I have completed, and absolutely LOVE it.
