October Team Blog Hop - Moonlight



Welcome to the Roxybonds Scrappers Team Blog Hop!  

 

We will be featuring artwork from the Moonlight paper pack.
 
  If you have come here from Stephanies's blog, then you are on the right path.  Your next stop will be Jen's blog.

  Today I have created Halloween cards for my little ones.  I have three grandchildren and decided that from the Moonlight Workshop on the Go (WOTG) I would make cards.

The Moonlight WOTG is a great set!  Not only do you get the stamp set and papers but the Haunted Assortment  and Sparkles Assortment finishes everything off so nicely.

I used three different CTMH inks - Smokey Plum, Slate and Goldrush.

Here's my first card ....

Don't you just love the owl and the saying?
Card number two ....
I used the Trinity stamp set from Close To My Heart for the word "boo".  To color in the mummy, I used a sponge tip applicator and lightly inked in Smokey Plum over the Slate ink outline.  Yep -- this is my second attempt.  I was a bit heavy-handed with the Smokey Plum the first time around.

And finally, card number three .....
I think the sparkles just finish this off nicely, but I like a bit of sparkle on my cards and scrapbook layouts.  At least this spider is cute - because spiders are NOT my favorite thing!

Inspiration ....  put the record player on because I say it over and over again:  I use magazines and CTMH workshop guides for inspiration.  My Moonlight cards were inspired from the CTMH Hooligans WOTG card guide as designed by Jeanette Lynton.  You can tell I use the guides sometimes very closely as seen in card #1 and #2 and with card #3 for inspiration.

Here's a snap of the workshop guide from Hooligans.


These were fun to make.  I love everything about the Moonlight set.  I do hope my two teenagers will want to carve pumpkins this year because this will be a great set to use when scrapbooking those pictures ... if i get any pictures that is.  And not to brag, but I'm getting better at taking pictures for my blog.  I still have a long way to go and lots to learn. 

Now hop on over to Jen's blog for your next stop. Thanks for stopping by!

Oof - a wolf .....

 I am not an artist -- not a free hand artist anyhow -- or by any stretch of the imagination. This one was a stretch for me.   This is reall...
