Treat-filled Days are the Best Days!

Hello, and happy Friday!
Samantha M here today, and I'm sharing a fun halloween card with you!

I know, it's adorable, right?! Ha! I dressed up the clam!!!!! I can't even stand it! Ha! Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself, let me start over! Ha!

Ok, I stamped and watercolored images from Mermaid for You, Booyah and Year Six! I used Distress Markers to color and then also used them to create the water-y background! I scribbled Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio onto a scrap piece of plastic packaging, and then mixed them together with some water. Then, I just splatted the whole plastic sheet onto my card front! Once it was dry, I splattered on some white acrylic paint and then used Transliscent Embossing Paste and a wave stencil to add some subtle texture!

The sentiment is from the new Happy Howloween set! So fun!! 
I hope you enjoued this card, and that you're getting into the mood for fall and halloween! Be sure to play along with the current Lawnscaping Challenge, too!! 

Enjoy!
And thanks for spending part of your day with me!

What's Kraken?

Hello and good morning!
Samantha here and today I'm sharing a Fun card that is really fun!! Ha!

I just LOVE the new Lovable Legends stamp set, don't you? All of those mythical (Nessie is REAL!! Ha!) creatures are just SO cute, and the phrases crack me up!!!

I watercolored the images with Distress Markers and then fussy cut them out. I also added some sparkle with my Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen to the sails and 'blush' of the creature! :)

For the background, first I colored some vellum with copcis and then spritzed it with some rubbing alcohol for a watercolor effect - it's beautiful in real life! Lol! Then I heat embossed the OTHER side of the vellum with the Woodgrain Backdrops to look like waves!! So fun!
I even cut out some of the woodgrain to look like waves! Then I popped up the images and stamped the sentiment!

I hope this makes you smile, and be sure to come right back here on Monday morning when the NEW Lawnscaping Challenge will be live! I think you're really going to like it!! :)

Thanks again for spending some of your day with me! :)
