Creepy, kooky, freaky, spooky

Hello and welcome!

It's been some time since I've posted anything.

Lots happening this month. First, I got the

worst case of food poisoning I've ever had.

It took 1-1/2 weeks to finally get over it,

with a trip to Urgent Care thrown in.

Then we drove home to visit family in Illinois

and Wisconsin for a couple weeks.

Now we are home and I'm back to making cards.

For this card, I used an image that I colored when

we were up in Wisconsin visiting my MIL.

I brought a bunch of images to color with my

Prisma Color pencils. The pencils are much easier

to haul cross country than my markers.

(But I do often haul the markers. I was just lazy)

To make the clear bottle pop more, I did use a

Spectrum Noir marker (LG1) to color the background.

The sentiment is from Tim Holtz's Small Talk Occasions 

sticker pad. A stamped sentiment finishes the inside.

I'd like to enter this at the Paper Players #757 challenge.

Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful day!

SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #49 X is for X-mas (Part II)

Hello all! For those of you who celebrate, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday! I'm just popping in to remind you that the SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS still has the current Christmas challenge going on - perfect for those of you who need to make a quick card because you forgot to mail one out. (wink!) Fortunately that didn't happen to me this year.

This card I made for my friends and next door neighbors. They lost both their fur babies earlier this year, two sibling kitties, so I when I saw this image I knew I wanted to use it for their card:

 Here's the inside:

No snark this time, just cuteness. ☺I tried to color the kitties to resemble their fur babies. Not exactly right, but close. After I colored the image with my Spectrum Noir markers, I took a deep breathe and went over the kitties with a black PrismaColor pencil to add 'fur'. Luckily for me, it worked out. Here's a close up:

I hope you find some time to play along at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for this month long Christmas challenge! Take care, and I hope you have a great day!
