Sorry for the gap in posting this past week. I’ve been soooo busy. Just got back tonight from a couple of days at the lake with my high school girlies, and had the most wonderful time ever. Unfortunately, I got a bit too much sun . . . so I’m suffering from a lovely sunburn right now. Ugh! One of these days I’ll learn when enough is enough. But it was sooo worth it – I had such a great time with my girls. *Sigh*
Needless to say, I didn’t get a card made for this weeks ABC Toys & Crafts promotion before I left. This is what I came up with after I lathered up with Aloe Vera. LOL This week the ABC Toys & Crafts DT is focusing on the Martha Stewart Punches. I’ve seen some super fun cards with the Martha Stewart Border Punch called Birds On A Wire. I realized when I punched it out in black card stock that the birds looked kinda creepy, like Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds.” Do you see it, too?!! Creepy!! So I decided to pair it with some new DP that showed up on my doorstep right before I left for my girls’ weekend. It’s the new Happy Halloween line from Echo Park – OMG – such fun patterns and colors!!
STAMPS: None (wow!)I haven’t made a card without any stamps at all in a long, long time. This was kinda fun, but I definitely prefer to get my fingers a little inky.
INK: None (OMG!)
PAPER: Happy Halloween DP (Echo Park), Black Licorice and Gum Drop Green CS (Poptone), Orange Zest CS (Papertrey Ink)
ACCESSORIES: Birds On A Wire Border Punch (Martha Stewart Crafts), Orange Zest Grosgrain Ribbon (Papertrey Ink), 3D-Dots (EK Success)
