Charming Nested Flower

This is for WCMDTLC08 over on SCS.

I have never seen these nested flower before, much less tried to make one myself. I'm happy to report that it was fun and EASY!

I used cardstock, patterned paper and felt with my cuttlebug and punches:


I just love this Unity stamp Charming Gardeners.

Friendship Apples

This is for OCTGKDLM over on SCS.
The challenge was red, white + another color of your choice. I chose brown.

I used Bic Mark Its to color the apples and Copics to color the basket.

I used a Sakura Glaze pen over the apples for shine.



Thanks for visiting!

Couldn't wait to ink up one of my newest Unity stamps from Limelight Papercrafts: Sweet Zzzz's.

I embossed it in chocolate and then colored in the bird with a white Sharpie.


I used my chocolate chip marker to just ink up 'friends' from the sentiment stamp Chocolate Friends by Stampendous...also got from Limelight.

Happy Friday!!

Paper ~ Sage Shadow, Really Rust, Chocolate Chip

Ladies in the Limelight

Are you feeling a little "batty" lately?
Must be because Halloween is just around the corner!

Time for a sketch challenge!

Follow the above sketch and use anything Halloween themed or Halloween colors...and remember ~ your supplies/stamps don't have to be from Limelight for you to play along!

Here are the important details:
* Sketch challenge with a focus on anything Halloween themed or Halloween colors
* Uploads to SCS should have the keyword: LLPC005
* Leave a comment with a link to you card on THIS POST on Mandy's blog through Sunday, Oct 5th to be in the random drawing to WIN both the Spooky Stickers and Spooky Words Stickers sheets!

Here's my take on the challenge:


I knew I wanted to use this Swirly Owl by Stampendous, he's just so Fall-ish.
I embossed him in black on the reverse side of the Spooky Stripes / Orange Dots by Pebbles, inc.
The middle owl is popped up.



I embellished the card with some yummy ribbons:
Sheer Black with White Polka Dots
Raven Tulle

I finished it off with a black prima and white brad.
