Batty About You

Today I'm playing at Crazy is our Fame, Stencils Are Our Game where it's always about stencils! They've got an optional twist of "Halloween" this time so it's GAME ON!
My card starts with light purple cardstock that I stenciled with the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Birch Tree Stencil. This is a two layer die so I added a medium purple and then added the details with a dark purple.
Next I colored and die cut bats, foliage and a sentiment from Batty About You. The bats are adhered with adhesive foam tape to help give the appearance that they're flying!
A full moon is added with some simple die cut yellow cardstock circles, and a sprinkle of Amethyst Jewels for some sparkle and shine!
I hope you have a great day and find some time to play!

Be A Rainbow

Thanks for stopping by! I hope life is good and the sun is shining wherever you are! Today I'm sharing an inspirational card made with the Pretty Little Studio You Are My Sunshine Collection!
My card starts with a cloud print background from the You Are My Sunshine Accent Paper Pack. If you're not great at mixing prints the accent pack is for you. Its a printed collage sheet that looks like you chose and mixed the papers yourself.

I topped the cloudy print background with a rainbow journaling card with a tucked die cut border along the left edge. And then the fun part! Embellishing the base with a sentiment and a rainbow butterfly.
To add more interest to the design I added a sentiment cloud like you would a tab above the journaling card. A smiling sun die cut and a sprinkle of clear sequins finished this design.
I hope you're smiling! And take this message to heart. If you see someone who might need a little lift me up I hope you can be their rainbow!

Big Halloween Cupcake

Hi friends! Today I'm playing along at the Craft Rocket Challenge where they're looking for Fall and Halloween designs. I could do Halloween all year round! I just love it!
My card started with the Pretty Pink Posh Big Halloween Cupcake. This set comes with LOTS of extras including the "boo" sentiment, pumpkins, bone, little ghost and more, so you can make your cupcake as busy or as clean as you like.

I love all the stitched detail on all the pieces and I wanted to repeat that in the background. This background was created by stacking border dies from the Stitched Borders 3 set to make a clean flat background. I have three sets of these dies so I can cut lots at one time. The stitch detail makes the cardstock stick sometimes so I recommend using wax paper with these.
  
The cupcake is framed by an eyelet rectangle and the finished design is topped with shiny Sunset Orange Pearls.

Wishing you a great weekend. I hope you get out and take a drive into the county and visit a local farmer for your fall outdoor decorations or see the fall foliage!
Hugs!
