Looking for blood...

Hi all!

I hope everyone is enjoying the That's Scrap Inc. Fabric Blade blog hop! If you're looking for that post, click on the badge at the right and it will take you to it. 

Now for today's goodies...I have been playing around with a few things...trying to come up with a card for someone that LOVES Halloween!! I wanted to do something out of the ordinary...nothing cutesy here!

I started out cutting some basic shapes from SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) on my Silver Bullet Professional cutter that can be purchased from Sherri at That's Scrap, Inc. (SUCH an awesome machine, by the way)

I used the My Minds Eye Haunted 6x6 paper pad...really like this one, kinda modern but also has a slight retro feel as well. Layered those onto the front of the card and thought...ummm, well, what now?!? I wanted it to have a kinda creepy feel LOL...so this is where my journey to find some blood came from...

I wanted something on my card front that would look like actual blood...yeah, I know, I'm weird! I started playing with different things and low & behold...I MADE BLOOD!!!!!!!! bwahahahahaha...soooooo, I found that if you take these two ingredients

you can create something that looks amazingly real!!

I will share a few pics with you of some of the components that I'm thinking about using for the card I'm in the process of creating. I can't show the finished card, because I would like it to be a surprise for the recipients...

SEEEEEEEE.....it really looks like blood dripping down the card front!!!!! AND it will stay that way, doesn't flatten out and keeps looking like fresh, red blood! Can you tell I'm soooooo excited by this?!? I'm sure someone else has already figured this one out, but to me, it's all new!!!

He looks like he's just finished his dinner....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Like I said, it is an unfinished card...but I'm sure you get the idea. I just mixed, in an old nail polish bottle, some of the Triple Thick and a few drops of the Barn Door reinker, until I had the color I wanted and kinda dripped it onto the card in various places...and voila, instant bleeding card!

I'm also thinking about all of the different colors that could be made and what could be done with those!! I will have to play around some more...awwww, that's such a shame...HAVING to create...I guess I will have to put myself into crafting detention!! LOL

If you use this, I would really like to see your take on it! Send me pics or a link to a blog post. If you have any suggestions or comments, please leave them...I love getting feedback!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a few minutes out of your day to visit with me. I hope to see you again soon! I wish you a blessed and creative day!!!!!

Until later,

Hi Beautiful!

I have a friend that isn't feeling so well right now and this card was made with her in mind.

This wonderful digi is by Saturated Canary called Blanche. Isn't she about the hottest babe around? I loved her the minute I saw her!! She's colored with my Promarkers (which I'm still learning to use -teehee- and I'm loving them). And she is sprayed with Perfect Pearls Perfect Pearl Mist...that's why she looks a little spotty...it's the shimmer.

The card has papers from My Minds Eye-Six by Six-Happier, hem tape ribbon, a pin that I made and other various stuff from my stash. I used some Spellbinders Dies as well as word stamps from the Paper Studio.

I hope my friend, and you, likes this! Let me know what you think... LOL

Thank you for taking some time out of your day to stop by for a few and I hope you will do so again soon!

I wish you a blessed and creative day.

Until later,

Father's Day

 Hi all!

I hope and pray that today finds you well! 

I've had a little time to play in my studio ( haha...I wish!) seriously, it's a room that I share with the  ironing board and pantry...but hey, it's my play room!

Anywho, I have a couple of Father's Day cards made and still in the process of a couple more. The first is made with BoBunny papers, Tim Holtz stamps & distress inks, twine, computer printed sentiment and a ticket svg I made in MTC and cut with my Black Cat Lynx. (awesome machine, by the way)

 

The second card is made with My Minds Eye papers and Tim Holtz stamps and computer generated sentiments. This one is for my son (shhhh...don't tell). It suits his personality perfectly!!

 

So, this is my offering for today! I thank you for stopping by and spending a few with me. Stop by again soon...

I hope and pray that you have a blessed and creative day! 

Until later,
