Halloween is this month...

and you know it will be here before you know it. I love all of the Halloween stamps that Sweet Pea Stamps carries but I have yet to color each and every one up. I really think Halloween needs to be a longer holiday, don't you think?

So for my card today, I used Terra Bidlespacher's Adellia:

I wanted to give her a sort of ghoulish, witchy skin color which I don't think I've achieved, lo but by using distress inks on all the papers and the edge of the image panel, I was able to really dull the more vibrant colors. That makes the green skin really stand out I think. Just don't look at her cheek make-up.... don't know what I was thinking!

The sentiment was cut from the background paper (old SandyLion - Jeepers Creepers I think) which I edged with Distress Ink. I had extra punched bats so I added two dots of red gel gloss for some eerie eyes.

Terra Bidlespacher's Adellia is also available as part of Plate #174

Definitely make sure to check out all the wonderful Halloween stamps available... perfect opportunity to use colors you wouldn't normally use. Hope you were inspired...... thanks for stopping by.

Little Curls and You Tug at my Heartstrings

It was a great treat to have wonderful images from artist Elizabeth Bell! I have been such a big fan of her beautiful artwork. Here's one of the newest images at Sweet Pea called Little Curls. Isn't she a darling?This sweet image just makes me wanna hug someone! Be sure to check out the Elizabeth Bell images on the Sweet Pea website. They are all so adorable.


One more card this week, here's an awesome stamp from artist Terra Bidlespacher. I just love this artist's amazing works. This stamp is called Nadya (Plate #174). I colored her up in wonderful fall colors and gave her a great firey red hairdo. She's just a delight, I love her sassy look.I added some wonderful wire based ribbon with eyelets in it that I bought while visiting Turkey. To match I added some great matte style buttons and put a saying from Plate #102, "You tug at my heartstrings." I know this sweet image sure tugs at mine!

Have a great day everyone!

Wanna Slushie?

Here's one of my favorite artists, Terra Bidlespacher. This stamp is called "Slushie" and comes on Plate #174. Isn't she great? This whole sheet of stamps is wonderful. I have a whole assortment of her stamps to play with and Sweet Pea just released several new sheets of her stamps that I can't wait to get my hands on.



I love her because her face just has some real attitude. I like a stamp with some real character in it. I added some great flowers from Prima decorated with skulls, some fun brads with skulls on them, beautiful ribbon that I got in Turkey and a wonderful stamped saying from Plate #25.

It's all about Terra Bidlespacher's images
