Halloween Ballerina - Make Your Mark at ATSM

Hey crafty friends!  Are you ready to Make Your Mark with us this week at Addicted to Stamps and More?  I thought this pretty little ballerina might look cute with a spooky Halloween feel.  I want to use some of the techniques from the copic marker class so I decided to try coloring my own background.  I used a very subtle lined gray and while I was feeling "brave" I threw in some hand drawn spiders to complete her spooky look.


This adorable image is designed by Beary Dust Stamps and you can find it at StitchyBear's Digi Outlet.  They are our generous sponsor this week and the winner will be getting 3 free digital stamps, hooray!



Check out all the rules and details along with all the great DT creations at Addicted to Stamps and More - I hope you get a chance to play along this week!

Merry Monday #129 - Neon Colors

Hey everyone, it's Monday and that means time for another fun challenge at Merry Monday!  This week's theme is chosen by the wonderful Kristie and she has challenged us to make a Christmas card using neon colors - fun, right?

I also have some more "homework" to share from Day 9 of the Copics class, focusing on backgrounds.  I haven't made a card with my image yet, but I played around and made this scene using the cloud background technique.  It's very subtle and hopefully it shows up enough in this photo.



Thanks for stopping by, keep it crafty!

Stamps: Snow Day (Lawn Fawn)
Ink: Hero Arts Neons, Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Cardstock: SSS 120lb white
