To The Moon And Back With CAS-ual Fridays!

Welcome back!  I'm up on the blog over at CAS-ual Fridays and sharing another cloudy background I created using some distress oxides and the Bubble Box die cut that I used on my card from my last post which you can see here if you'd like!  I'm using the adorable Somebunny stamp set again and this is the night time version....

I used some blues and purple distress oxides this time for my night time sky.  I realized after I finished my background that I forgot to leave some space for my moon glow so I decided to try the oxide lift technique.

I figured out about where my moon would be and used a paintbrush to apply water where I wanted to add a yellow glow and then "lifted" color off of the paper using a paper towel.  I repeated this process a couple times and then dried the area with a heat gun.  Then I added in some yellow.

I also added some tiny gold "stars" using a Uniball Gold Gel Pen.  I used the Stars Fri-Dies (still attached to each other) to create these glitter paper star frames.  I'm thinking I may not cut them apart because I love these frames!  I popped them up onto my background and then popped the rabbit hanging from the moon with a slightly thicker foam tape.

And finally a couple of the adorable sentiments from the Somebunny stamp set and a few sequins!

So there we are!  I can't tell you enough how I love these bunnies!

Happy Halloween - Rubbernecker Stamps

Welcome to some Rubbernecker Stamps Halloween Inspiration!  I've finally turned the corner and I'm dipping my toe in Autumn.  It's still pretty much Summer here in the desert Southwest, but in my mind I can smell the leaves turning and hear them crunch under my feet!   And of course I'm full on Pumpkin Spice right now!  I love to make Autumn cards... and Halloween cards are so fun!  As soon as I saw the Spooky House die I knew I had to have it!  Not to mention the Clouds stencil!

This Spooky House is SO easy to put together.  I just used my fine tweezers for the little window pieces and the bricks.   This is a one piece die so all of the pieces cut at once.   I cut the die from black, purple, orange and green cardstock and just kept little piles of all of the pieces so I could mix and match my colors however I wanted!  I created my frame using two of the Deckle Rectangle Dies... I placed one inside the other and held them with some washi tape to run them through my machine.  I used the tree trunks from the Cloud Tree dies and the headstones and fence cut with the Spooky house.

To start, I used yellow, orange, purple and blue Distress Oxides to create my colorful cloud background using a blending brush and the Clouds Stencil and layered the cloudy panel over my design paper background.  Then I built my landscape, popped the frame up over it and added the house to the front.  Finally a simple Happy Halloween sentiment to finish it off.

That's me for today!   Hope you enjoyed your stop and you'll come again soon for more inspiration!  I've included links below to all of the Rubbernecker products I've used today should you decide there is something you need to have!  (I think you might need that Spooky House...lol!)
