Vintage Halloween Scallop Card

Hello Friends!!

Today I would like to share with you a Scallop card that I made using a couple of my new collage sheets.

I am super happy with how it turned out!  

Looks Spookilicious..and didn't take me that much time to create!

I used my 2 page Witch Boot Set for the orange candy canes and moon image. which you can find in my etsy here.

I also used my Vintage Witch Halloween Circle Labels which you can find in my Etsy here.

 Tombow Foam Tabs were used to Elevate my main image and my tiny moon image as you can see below.

I just love my little cluster of Orange and Dark Ivory Mulberry Roses and Orange Seam binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon, paired up with some seed beads and my candy canes!  Darling!!
Here is a close up of the other side.

I used another Orange Mulberry Rose, a button tied with Halloween Baker's twine as well as another Candy Cane and a Moon image! 
Of course I used Art Glitter through out!
I created my own Scallop Card SVG.  I have to laugh because after I was all done...I decided to go back in and change it...lol!  So the next card I make will be with the new SVG.

Vintage Halloween Inspired Card & New Collage Sheets

Hello Friends!!

I hope you are having a fabulous Sunday!

This is the first Sunday that I have had in a while where I did not need to volunteer for something through Scouts, Venture Crew or Tennis.  So I thought I would play around with some images.

Here is a new Vintage Inspired Halloween Digital Collage Sheet I made

You can find it in my Etsy $5.00 here.

I have used my favorite Little girl image that originally found at Karen's the Graphics Fairy's website.

I changed up the color of her dress and apron, added some images and text to her apron and gave her a witch's hat.  I just LOVE this little image.  

I thought I would do some 

Pink Shabby chic Candy Canes with Holly for Christmas which you can find for $4.50 in my Etsy Shop here.  

They are similar to my Traditional Red Candy Canes I did last year.

Shabby Pink Different Size Candy Cane's Two Sheet set that you can

find in my Etsy here.  $6.00

Vintage Halloween Witch Boot Ornie

Hello Friends!!

 I hope you are having a fabby day!
In case you missed my post yesterday, I have a new challenge and Design Team called posted on my Challenge Blog.

Yesterday I had a little time to play after I got home from both of my boy's tennis matches.

I created this Halloween Treat using some fabby ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I started out with my Vintage Halloween Boot Digital Collage Sheet set which you can find in my etsy here.

First I cut out all of my pieces and inked the edges with Ranger's Frayed Burlap.

I glued the fronts to the backs, and then inked the edges :0)  I added some Tombow foam tabs to the upper portion of my Halloween Boot and the boot pocket piece.

I added glitter to all of my pieces.
You may recognize Pugsley and the little girl from my Shabby Chic Pink Christmas Mitten Ornament.  You will see here that Pugsly is dressed in a Ghostly Clown costume and the little girl is dressed as a witch and holding a pumpkin.

I tied a bow with Old willow Organza on my moon image.  I used a couple of orange pom poms on Pugsley's ghost costume.

I used 1/4 inch natural lace, orange leaves, Chocolate brown seam binding, Halloween baker's twine, Orange and Deep Ivory mulberry roses on the tiny pocket of my Witch boot.

I tucked an owl and orange candy cane into my boot pocket.  I used some more Tombow Foam Tabs under my text boxes.

At the top of my boot I have added an additional flower image with foam tabs as well as the "Halloween Greetings" image.

I used some more of the orange leaves, some orange baker's twine and another deep ivory mulberry rose.  

One last look at the whole piece.

Yesterday I posted a New Challenge on my Challenge Blog

Anything Goes using my images, you can link up your creations using my images here.
