Winner Of Pack Your Bags Challenge

CHA DT Blog Hop Day 4
Welcome to the fourth day of our CHA DT Blog Hop! Our winner for Day 3 is Sandy at Simply Sandy Lee! Congratulations, Sandy, happy shopping too. You can check out our new Fall/Winter dies and stamps HERE, and the clear sets HERE. Mitra has been introducing them at CHA at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV, this week.
For my card today I chose Leigh Hannan's Ghost Espresso and the sentiment is Kalani Allred's Poisonous Potions (also available in clear set Have Broom Will Travel). The background is Cover-A-Card Mesh Circles. I created it by:
- Stamping the espresso twice on white cardstock with Memento Rich Cocoa twice, painted the first one with Twinkling H2O's.
- Cut out the front of the matching plate, the label in the middle and the ghost "steam", painted, and mounted with 3D pop-dots. Added Stickles Cinnamon as shown. If you click on the photo you will see the label on the cup says, "Its Scary Good". :-)
- Stamped sentiment on white cardstock inked with Rich Cocoa marker. Cut out using die from Curved Matting Basics, inked some of the tiny circles of the Mesh Circles stamp with Memento Tangelo and stamped the corners of the diecut sentiment. Mounted on brown cardstock and used Stickles Cinnamon for the 3 dots.
- Stamped white cardstock with CAC Mesh Circles and Memento Tangelo ink. Used Curved Matting Basics largest die with it and for the matted brown and orange borders.
- Added some ribbon and corsage pin with a coffee bean bead from my stash.

Totally in love with this image and must have it for my haunted halloween teaparty
Posted by: mary anne guth | July 26, 2013 at 02:35 PM
I too really like the background stamp! The Cup stamp could be used all year round if you just snip off the ghost head and leave the steam curls...I see coffee...or a cup of Coco...cup of tea...you could stamp one and cut out the >==< on the cup and turn it over so you have the shape and stamp a saying on it....oh the possibilities!

I had to catch up but I did go ahead and leave comments - great cards today.
