Halloccasions Christmas Halloween

I used the a muse studio 2014 Holiday Hoopla Hostess Christmas set to create the Halloween card below.  Which BTW, is an extra large card measuring 9x4.25 inches.  
As you may already know, last year I dubbed the term "Halloccasions" for cards that I've made using Halloween sets for occasions other than Halloween.  So now after making this card I have to also include the reverse definition, "cards that I've made using non-Halloween sets to make Halloween cards." Eeeeeheeeheehe!
Congratulations to Terri P. who won this card and the Holiday Hoopla stamp set to go with it, at my Customer Appreciation Halloween party!

Beautiful Birthday 2

As promised here is another "look" for the Beautiful Birthday set.  I did a lot of sponging on this card to make a kind of stormy sky with Eucalyptus ink. The greenery stamp was inked first entirely with Grass ink then I sponged on a little Mushroom and Nutmeg pouncing those two colors here and there.  Then I finished with a little Nutmeg ink sponged along the bottom.  Any one who knows me knows that sponging is one of my all-time favorite techniques.

Hello Tweet Heart

This is such a cute stamp set, I love any/all tree stamps...my friends call me the Lorax :o).  To get the leaves and trunk two different colors I just used Tombow markers to directly color onto the rubber stamp.  For the sky I used the negative piece left over from the clouds die as a stencil and sponged on some Eucalyptus ink for blue clouds...wait, what...blue clouds?!

Dude. You're a ROCK STAR!

I made this ROCK STAR card a long time ago and I'm pretty sure that I got the inspiration from somewhere but I've searched the web and can't find it anywhere. Maybe I dreamt that I saw it some where...hmmm...it's making me a little crazy - lol.
