Carve Some Pumpkin Fun!!

 Hello everyone: Every time I post I'm praying and hoping you and your families are healthy and safe, please take care of yourselves and each other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, Halloween is fast approaching so it's time to add a few more cards to our stash so my teammates and I at the RETRO RUBBER challenge want to inspire you to create your cards using the colors on our inspiration board.

This is the card I made.

This image is from Stampendous (2015) and so is the BOO sentiment, bought almost at the same time. The spider web embossing is from SU (retired).

I stamped the images with Versamark black ink and clear heat embossed them, colored them with Tim Holtz distress inks.

****************************************************

This is the inside.

Both the sentiment and the pumpkin are from an old Flourishes set called "Witching You a Happy Halloween" (2010)

So I hope you come and check out the RETRO RUBBER challenge page to get more inspiration from my fabulous teammates and come and play along with us in out gallery, we can't wait to see what you create.

Don't forget to read our rules and remember to use at least one of your stamps that is older than one year.

Until next time, stay healthy, safe and please wear your masks.

XO
Maria.

I believe in Fairies.

 Hello everyone: As always, I hope and pray you and your family are safe and healthy, take care of yourselves and each other and please, wear your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I haven't used my magical stash of Fairy rubber stamps that I got from my husband's aunt as a gift after she found them at a thrift store all in a box, dirty and stained, I just washed them and now, I have about 25 amazing images of the most gorgeous Faeries I've ever seen on a plain red rubber stamp, this is one of them.

I stamped the image on a piece of Canson Mixed Media paper with Stazon black ink and colored it with SU markers and Prismacolor pencils. I used gold paint for her wings and the dress.

The sentiment is from a retired Flourishes set called "Orchids" and I always use it when I make my Fairy cards. The little Fairy on the corner is from a stamp set by 49 & Market called "Friends Forever".

A Pair of Silhouettes.

 Hello everyone: I hope you and your families are doing well, take care of yourselves and each other and please, wear your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I usually create my cards for The Twofer Challenge not very long after I find out what the theme is but, this time around, I got stumped.  The prompt for this challenge is "Silhouettes" and I knew I was in trouble. I only have 2 sets with solid silhouette images so I pulled them out and placed them on my work table, so I could stare at them every day and try to figure out what to create with them.

Here are my Twofers.

*********************************************

I decided to use this image from an old SU set called "Fabulous Florets" (2011), the little bird was punched with the SU "Bird Builder Punch"

The sentiment is from an old Flourishes set called "Calla Lilies".
