Boo Die-Versions Post

Happy Monday!! I'm back from vacation and I'll be catching up with you in the next few days!! Thank you all for stopping by while I was away!! I've missed you all while I was gone!! I hope you are having a wonderful October!!  It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog and I have a couple of Halloween cards to share with you today. If you use the code lisa15 you'll receive 15% off your regular price Die-Versions order.

For my Halloween cards, I used papers covered in spooky bats (I've had the paper a while and can't remember who makes it...MAMBI, maybe?) The cheesecloth is supposed to represent spider webs :)

I used the Whispers Spooky House die as the focal point for the cards. It was popped up with foam tape for dimension.

The ghost floating out of the attic is a Sweet Petites Ghost die (not currently in stock). It was popped up with foam tape as well. Boo is from My Craft Spot (no longer in business).

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I'll be by to visit you as soon as I can :)

Anything But Cute - Inspired By An Autumn Day

This is my 2nd post...for the Scrapy Land Challenge, click HERE.

{Scheduled Post} Happy Wednesday!! It's time for a new challenge at Anything But Cute!! The theme this month is An Autumn Day.

The sweet and amazing Autumn from sewpaperpaint is our fabulous hostess this month and what a fitting theme she's chosen :) Here's what she had to say about the theme:

I could not help but chose October as my month to hostess here at Anything But Cute. This month, we want to see your creations inspired by An Autumn Day. Anything goes mixed media with an fall color palette, or Autumnal elements. Be inspired by nature with the sights, smells, and sounds of this beautiful season. We cannot wait to see the amazing artwork you turn out!

For my card inspired by an Autumn day, I started out with watercolor paper and my Dylusions sprays.

I just started spraying, with the lightest colors first. Lemon Zest...

Pure Sunshine and Squeezed Orange...

Some Postbox Red. I just kept spraying until I had a mixture I was happy with. I don't have pictures of the rest of the process. I wasn't really sure where I was going with this at the time :)

I added texture paste through a The Crafter's Workshop Believe Script stencil. The birds in the top left corner are a Tim Holtz Remnant Rub.

The tree is a Frantic Stamper Medium Bare Ash die, cut in black sticky-back foam.

The leaves were all cut from the sprayed papers with Cheery Lynn Fall Leaves dies. I love the texture the swirls give to the leaves. Memory Box Grove Branches were added among the leaves, as was a Leane Creatief Pine Cone die.

The frame was made with a silicone die, air dry clay and crackle paint. Once it dried and cracked, DecoArt Raw Umber Antiquing Cream was rubbed into the cracks. The stamp is a Stampin Up stamp and you can't tell in the pic, but crackle glaze was added. Grateful is a My Creative Time die and the beautiful crinkle ribbon is from DL.ART.

I added some sisal for fall texture and inked all of the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to Anything But Cute to see the amazing projects created by my talented design team sisters. Then link up your project inspired by an Autumn day. I can't wait to see what you create :)
