So glad

This is my first experience with a digi stamp. On one of my visits to my blogging friend Sue, I was lead to Mo's new digi challenge blogspot using digi stamps by Mo Manning. There I was lead to a "freebie" -- well, I took the freebie but wasn't in time for the challenge but felt responsible to post something since I took the image. I printed this charming image on purple cardstock -- because purple was in the challenge. The image is on foam mounts with an extra broom added for dimension. Other images are Sizzix. (But let me tell you this -- if you want to see the most ultra amazing project using this delightful image and better than that -- view a tutorial on how it was made, you must visit Mel.)


Though I have several Halloween words/phrases, I chose "I'm So Glad You're my Friend" (maker unknown) to be the most fitting because the little witch (Bella) and her dog (Bronte) are visibly good friends. And to Donna P and all my blogging visitors, I say "I'm so glad you're my friend."

Pumpkin Head

Pumpkin Head has received more hits on Etsy than Skylar (my son's "first born") so I thought it was time to put this stamp to the task of making a few Halloween cards. Here is our favorite so far and the one that will probably be used for a current swap I am participating in.

Pumpkin Head was stamped with a top boss pad and heat embossed with fine line black embossing powder. He was colored and shaded using watercolor pencils and a fine brush. Cut Pumpkin Head out and assemble with brads ready to go on the card face.

Card face: Orange textured paper over black chromecoat card blank. I Love Sizzix! ZigZag frame from black chromecoat, tombstone, and pumpkin as shown. Purple highlight cut oversize to frame the 3-d pumpkin. Write details on the tombstone and age the edges with a silver stamp pad. Affix all to card face. Pumpkin Head goes on with one foam mount at his waist to allow him to do the twist.
Hope you enjoy the look. You can find the Pumpkin Head stamp at theneonrainbow.etsy.com
