You're A Real Gem!

Halloween is creeping up FAST! I love seeing what's popular every year and am always impressed at the creativity I see in peoples choice of costume and how they are created. So how many of you are going as pirates this Halloween?

I've got a fun card of an underwater scene today made with lots of die cuts on a simple Distress Oxide background. I love the Distress Oxide for blending... it's smooth creamy texture makes it seamless. I tend to use the original Distress Ink when I want bright bold colors!

I love the Inquisitive Pirate Add On die set. There are lots of details worth noting like the stitched detail in the treasure map, the facet cuts on the coins and gems as well as the layers for building the treasure chest.

The sentiment is from the Treasure Hunt Sentiments stamp set. It has lots of clever sayings that pair perfectly with the pirate theme.

I added a little crab from the Happy Crabs set. There was no waste with this one as I cut it from light and dark red cardstock and then alternated the layers to make two crabs. I added silly eyes to make him just a little more cute!

I'm playing along at Creative Knockouts where this time it's Halloween or Fall and there's still lots of time to play!
