Peachy Keen's Halloween Challenge!!

This was such a treat to do this challenge!! Thank you Kathy & Design Team! I designed my card using the Cricut Design studio & all the cuts are from the "Paper Doll" cartridge! I didn't have a small spider web stamp so I used a white gel pen & drew my own (not bad huh!) Of course I used lots of stickles, the letter stickers & purple rhinestones are from Michael's. Last but not least, the beautiful face images are #PK490 ~Everyday Face Characters from Peachy Keen Stamps!! If you don't know about Peachy Keen stamps by now, you must visit their website & you will fall in love with all of the beautiful stamps Kathy has created!! Happy Halloween Everyone & be Safe!:)

Cuttle Bug Challenge~ Be Inspired #55

Cuttlebug's challenge this week was to use one of our favorite things! This was such a perfect challenge because I got to use this stamp set that I had actually got last year & I believe it's from "The Greeting Farm". Have you ever seen a more perfect & adorable couple? I can't believe that this is the 1st time I ever inked her up!! The sentiment is also from that set. I used white embossing powder to emboss that on to the black cardstock & layered that onto vellum paper. I have to say that this definitely is ONE of my favorite stamp sets, as well as the pattern paper. Paper is from "We R Memory Keepers" & I love this particular paper because all the flowers on it are velvet & it's so pretty! I also used a cuttlebug folder to emboss the black base of the card. All ribbon is from PTI & those delicate cute little pearls are from a local srapbook store here in town! I think my wedding card came out absolutely ADORABLE!! Leave me a comment & let me know what you think!! Thank you & have a good night!!
