Stella Says Sketch #515

Good morning! Stella has a new sketch for you to try...and it's a good one! I used one of Jodie's adorable new Halloween images for this card; I'll have to say she had me at "the tooth"! Oh my...such cuteness! Here's the sketch:

I've colored the image with pencils; while relaxing and listening to music, coloring is so therapeutic, I enjoyed the process of making this card...from start to finish. Halloween cards are my favorite to make...hands down! I pulled out some of my punches and dies for embellishing; the clouds are cut from felt and the bats are punched from glitter CS. No sentiment like the sketch, but I've added a CS strip to "ground" the card. I love how this one turned out...may have to send it to my daughter at college! Here's a close-up:

That's MISTER old fart to you!

Good morning! It's "Anything Goes" at Catch the Bug this week! A friend asked if I would make a card for her dad's birthday...she wanted it to say "90", but other than that I was able to just create...how fun!

I went with Gus...and a little humor! He's colored with pencils to coordinate with some papers from my stash. I've embellished with mesh and ribbon, along with a sentiment and die cut numbers.
