Halloween 2017

It's still Halloween, so I can still post these cards to share with everyone. My life as usual has been excruciatingly hectic that I didn't even get to send out my halloween cards. I'm always busy as it is, but more so around the holiday season. I'm beginning to feel really burnout that I just want to quit it all. I want to quit the job, the cards classes, everything. I'm done! I want to go back to Paris! 

Spooky Cat bundle (146014), Spooky Night DSP (144610), Classic Label punch (141491), Black and Pumpkin Pie cardstocks

I CASED this card from Tami White. The technique is called "masking". I used Seasonal Chums bundle, aqua painters, basic black, pumpkin pie and old olive ink pads and retired stamps set for the spider and web.

Well, that is all for today. Thank you for stopping by. Happy Halloween!

Graveyard Gate

It has been very hectic since we got back from our trip. Sad as it is for me to admit, it only took a few days back to the office for all the joy of Europe to dissipate. When I look at the mini Eiffel Tower statue on my desk, I have to remind myself that I was just there and that one day soon, I will go back. I loved Paris and one of my favorites was when we went to Shakespeare & Company by the Notre Dame Church. I could easily spend all day upstairs or at the next door Cafe reading. 

Oh well, I want to share this really cute Halloween card created using the Graveyard Gate bundle from the 2017 Holiday catalog. I love the Detailed thinlit gate dies. It was a little challenging to cut out all the pieces with my Big Shot at first. I found the Precision Base Plate (139684) really helpful. Definitely worth the investment. I can't wait to CASE all the adorable projects on Pinterest. 

I achieved the background by using a circle punched mask then sponging around it with Wisteria Wonder, Pumpkin pie and Pear Pizzazz ink pads.
