Hey all! :) I think my brain, my hands, and my being has been on a vacation. I must say, I really needed it though. It got me to wanna ink up something and color.
Well, I took the plunge and got me SOME ODD GIRLS! What did it was seeing that SOG Kimono Kaylee and I had to have her . . . then I got me more! Some in digi and some in clear stamps. For today's card, I used Gwen from the clear stamp set, HollyDay Gwen. The set comes with a couple of sentiments and some holly berries including Gwen. Since Halloween is just weeks away, I thought I'd tackle my first Halloween card for this year.
I colored her with copics and stuck to the purple and black theme. The background behind Gwen was inked with one of my new Tim Holtz Distress Ink Fall Limited Edition set, Seedless Preserves. I slightly distressed the edges with Black Soot. Behind that, I punched 7 Spiderwebs with my MS punch and adhered them to the back of the circle. Added a few spiders, twine and a tag . . . voila! Done! :)
Here's a close up of Gwen and her spidey friends.
I decided to enter her in some challenges. Boy, it's been ages since I've actually done that. Well, that's it for me. Thanks for stoppin' in today!
