Now for my card. It’s appropriate to have a card featuring candy when I’m offering blog candy, right?
Aren’t these little guys the cutest? I’d give them lots of candy if they came to my door!
This is a Rubbernecker image called Trick or Treats, and I colored it with Copic markers then cut it out with Nestabilities. The striped piece of paper was torn around the edges and sponged with Ranger Distress ink in Peeled Paint and my ink blending tool. Have you tried that yet? It’s fantastic for blending ink!! (Duh, Broni, thus the name!) I just had to curl up the bottom corner to let the freaky ghost peek out!
The image was offset on an eggplant scalloped rectangle and I place a piece of PTI Plum Pudding satin ribbon in between them. The sentiment was stamped in pumpkin pie ink on white cardstock. I used Ranger Glossy Accents in a thick layer on it and placed the grungeboard O, which was colored with a YG95 Copic marker, on top of it. I coated the O with the Glossy Accents too and left it to dry. Then I trimmed around the O, and glued it to the card.

JACKSONBELLE EMBELLISHMENTS - JBE017
~~~
Hey, guess what! Lindsey will be having a sale in her store (Jacksonbelle Embellishments) beginning Friday, August 29th through Monday, September 1st, and she’s offering 15% off everything!!! Woo hoo! She’s got all the latest Inkadinkado stamps and just about every available color of the new fun Shimmerz paints.
Our challenge from Jacksonbelle Embellishments this week is to case one of our very own designers! Let’s have a big round of applause for the featured designer this week - Erin McKinney of Stampin’ in the Sun!
I chose this card of Erin’s to case:
Isn’t it adorable? I kept the same layout and birdie theme, used my ribbon in the same place and used Dew Drops where she’s placed her gem brads. I did change the stamps I used and the papers and colors too.
Here’s my CASE:
I colored my bird image from the Birds Galore clear stamp set by Inkadinkado with Stampin’ Up markers and stamped it onto shimmery vanilla cardstock. I cut the rectangle panel using a Nestabilities die and left the die on while I sponged some celery ink aroung the edges.
The patterned papers are Daisy D’s Chloe Marie line. Yummy paper! Would you look at that beautiful 1″ satin ribbon?! It’s by May Arts of course! I added Dew Drops (water) at the bottom.
Check out the beautiful creations of all these talented designers:
- Amber Hight
- Beth Thomas
- Dee Jackson
- Elizebeth Neumann
- Erin McKinney
- Kisa Peters
- Lila Holgate
- Lindsey Botkin
- Lynda Benden
- Maren Benedict
- Rachel Baird
If you’d like to play along, post your card on SCS with the keyword JBE017.
