everything goes!

Hello friends!

The Inspiration Journal challenge this month is 'everything goes' you're free to do whatever you like!

I recently got the Retro Halloween Framelits set and the block die. Yeah, I'm way late to the game with these, but, there is SO much I NEED and it takes time to acquire everything! 

I had fun with this after I got in the swing of making it, I quite like the skeleton witch holding the skull garland, looks like she's holding skull paper dolls! haha

 I've had the rosette on my desk in the catchall dish forever, I finally had the chance to use it!

I love using Enamel Accents for dimensional eyeballs! 

You just squeeze a drop of white onto the eye and then squeeze a drop of black on top of the white, it just forms perfectly. I usually let it dry overnight before I handle it

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

Supplies: stamps - retro halloween framelits. paper - black and white cardstock, lost and found paper stack. ink - archival jet black, terra cotta and pitch black alcohol inks, blending solution. distress ink in vintage photo. acces. - black and white enamel accents, wooden skewer, foil tape sheets, elements tissue tape, martha stewart carnelian glitter, cereal box cardboard. tools - retro halloween framelits, vintage lace, bats and crossbones garland, mini rosette and block dies, hot glue gun, foam squares.

celebrate father's day

Hello!

I made a card to go with the paperweight I made last week.

It's for the celebrate challenge going on at the Inspiration Journal.

The papers I used are from the Kraft Resist paper stash, 8x8 collage paper stash and a piece of scrap black cardstock. I cut the clock, card,  frame, frame background and diamond strips from the 8x8 collage paper. The clock hand is a game spinner.  

I stamped the frame in VersaMark ink, sprinkled on some pumice stone Distress embossing powder and heat set it with my heat tool. I die cut the frame with the Sizzix Framed Sihoulettes frame die and distressed the edges with Distress vintage photo ink. The guys head was cut with the die from that set.

The diamond strips were cut with the Sizzix Borders dies and I put 3 mini fasteners in the bottom strip for a little interest.

Here's the link to the paperweight.
