Happy Friday all! Welcome to a brand new As You See It Challenge! This week is a sketch challenge and because it is October 30, it had to be a Halloween card of course!

I started off with tangerine tango and basic black that I ran through my spider embossing folder. I cut a piece of tangerine tango to make the flag and then die cut an apothecary accent to put under the circles.

I was a bit stumped on what to use for my image when I landed on the idea of making a ghost! So I added some spooky eyes and the sentiment for the mouth!

I layered my ghost up on a piece of crushed curry and then put everything together! Now it is your turn – be sure to play along with us HERE!

Thanks for stopping by today! I will be posting on November 1^st for House of Cards and then follow my usual Monday thru Friday posting. Have a safe and fun Halloween tomorrow!

Supplies: CS: SU! basic black, tangerine tango, crushed curry, motley monsters dsp. PTI white. Stamps: PTI happy haunting. Dies: SU! apothecary accents. SU! spider embossing folder.

Today’s card has been a long time coming! I bought this stamp years ago and could never find a way to use it. But when I saw the sketch for Sunday Stamps, I thought it was time to see if I could!

I stamped this image in memento black and then used colored pencils to color the ghosts, fence and grass. I added a bit of black chalk to darken the sky.

I added a few bits of bling and layered up on cardstock and patterned paper and arranged according to the sketch.

Today I am playing along with the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge. I love this sketch! Simple and so many possibilities!

For me, it was quick and easy. I grabbed my SU! over the rainbow stamps and some SU! inks and set to work. I stamped one line each in tangerine tango, pumpkin pie and crushed curry. I added the sentiment in between and ran the card front through the PTI linen impression plate.

I layered on basic black and pumpkin pie cardstock.

That’s it for today! Thanks for stopping in and be sure to stop by tomorrow!

It’s time for a new challenge at Retro Rubber! This time it is a sketch and if you love sketches like me, then you will want to join us!

I kept this one in the Halloween theme with these fun pumpkins. I have had this stamp for six or seven years and used my distress markers to color and a bit of soft sky ink for the sky.

I added this bit of patterned paper behind the image, although as I write this, I am not sure what possessed me to use this color when NOTHING else on my card has this color – but I did it anyway! And it works I think!

It was just a matter of adding a few buttons and I was done! Be sure to join us – pull out some older stamps (over a year old) and get to creating! Link up your card HERE!

Supplies: CS: SU! crumbcake, motley monsters dsp and white. Other: Stamp and buttons from stash. SU! linen thread. Distress markers.

Happy Monday! Today I am playing along with a challenge that is new to me - CAS Colours and Sketches. I just loved the sketch and thought I could come up with something Halloween related for it.

And I did. I made a candy corn tree! Seriously – who doesn’t love candy corn! The waxy texture, the lack of nutritional value, the opportunity to get a candy corn that is one color instead of three!

Anyway, I saw the trees on this sketch and thought I would create candy corn trees (well, one anyway). I started by using my PTI topiary trio dies and cutting the trees out of various Halloween colors and then layered up the colors on early espresso to make my trees. I love how the die cut allows you to pop up the “leaves” and give some added texture.

I added a sentiment and layered the card front on a piece of early espresso and crumbcake.  That's it!

Hello all! Happy Tuesday! Sorry about being MIA yesterday but I was out of town last week and didn’t get anything made for Monday, or Wednesday, or Thursday! Because of that I will only be posting today and Friday.

Today’s card is one for the Retro Rubber Challenge – get your spook on! I opted for another CAS card with just a simple image and sentiment. I stamped my image from the SU! googly ghouls stamp set and then added a bit of green. The green was supposed to give an evil glow for this mummy. But he really doesn’t look too evil to me!

I added a sentiment and ran the card front thru my rustic burlap impression plate. I added a bit of sparkle and layered everything up.

Be sure to get your spook on and link up your Halloween card HERE!

Thanks for stopping by today! I will be back on Friday for sure! With some luck, I may get to steal a couple of minutes in the craft cave!
