Lil Cactus Trick-or-Treater

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Sunday, I hope your weekend has been wonderful.  Our continued prayers go out to all who have been affected by Hurricane Helene,  We are blessed and gave thanks to God as we experienced no significant damage. 

I have a quick share today featuring an adorable little Trick-or-Treater dressed in a Cactus Costume, ready to get some Candy.  It's hard to believe October 1st will soon be here, along with Halloween!


To start, I've stamped the image, from the Darcie's Heart and Home Llama Halloween Clear Stamp Set, on Canson 140 lb watercolor paper and painted using Gansai Tambi Watercolors. I've kept the painting simple, the image is small so not a lot to shade.  I've backed the focal image with purple card and popped on foam for dimension. 


The patterned papers are snippets from the Echo Park "Trick or Treat" 6x6 paper pack.  I've also used a strip of glitter tape from Cricut to add a bit of sparkle and to create a break from top to bottom.

The sentiment is from a pre-packaged set of sentiment strips, designed by Cathy Zelski for Simon Says Stamp, and I've popped on foam for dimension.  Lastly, Halloween Green sequins were added for more spooky sparkle and shine.

Thanks all I have to share today, until next time - Happy Crafting!

Happy Llama-ween!

Hi Friends, it's Crafty Saturday!  I hope your weekend is off to a great start and you're doing something crafty.  Today I have a quick share featuring a sweet Llama from the Llama-ween Stamp Set by Darcie's Heart and Home.


I've colored the images using Prismacolor Pencils and the patterned papers are from Kat Scrappiness.  I've decided to go with a landscape orientation for this card.


I've created a banner and added some black twine, also added a small pre-made sentiment strip from Simon Says Stamp and purple gems from my stash; I've also stamped a sentiment from the set.  Lastly, I've covered the pumpkin and saddle blanket with Wink of Stella.  

That's all for today.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Inspiration Station Challenge #39 - Trick or Treat

Hello Friends!  It's Monday and today begins a new bi-weekly challenge round at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog.  The photo prompt this challenge is:


We still get Trick or Treaters in my neighborhood and we have several homes that decorate their porches and lawns.  Our dear friends to the west of us go all out with decorating and I look forward to seeing what they come up with each year.  This photo inspired me to use a darling Halloween set I've had in my stash since last season but not used before.


I've used the Llama Halloween Stamp Set from Darcie's Heart and Home to create a standard A2 sized card.  This little Trick or Treater has been colored using alcohol markers and the designer papers are from the Echo Park "Trick or Treat" 6x6 paper pad.  The sentiment is included in the stamp set.


The orange mat has been dry embossed using an older Halloween Embossing Folder from Darice.  I wanted the images to stand out so I lightly inked over the embossing with Unicorn White Ink from Hero Arts.  The focal image has been die cut using nesting circle dies from Kat Scrappiness and to complete the design, I've added sequins from a Halloween Mix, also from Kat Scrappiness.

Please join in the fun at The Inspiration Station this challenge round.  We always enjoy seeing how the photo inspires.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
