Spooktacular!

It's been a good, but hectic weekend here. There was no school on Friday, so we went to Santa Cruz and enjoyed a lovely day at the beach with friends. I've included a few photos at the end of this post for those who are interested...including a "belly shot." I'm now 29 weeks, so just 11 more to go - woo hoo!!

Here's a card I made a week or so ago with my friend Michelle. I started the card at her house (since it is her stamp set!) and just embossed the main image with black detail embossing powder on glossy white. After getting home, I colored in the windows and grave stones, then went over them and the moon with my versamarker and embossed with clear embossing powder. Next, I sponged on the color - Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, and Night of Navy. I used some of the new SU! Halloween DSP (which I LOVE) for the background, and I embossed the greeting (from the set I have - TAbleau of Terror) with black on Old Olive. Can I just say, I love this card! I hope you all do too!!

Supplies: (all supplies from SU! unless noted)
Stamps: House of Haunts, Tableau of Terror
CS:
Basic Black, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Glossy White, Ghostly Greetings
Ink: versamark, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Night of Navy

Acc: embossing powder, brads, embossing buddy, heat tool

TFL!


Here's my beach girl just lovin' the surf and sand.
And here she is playing in the sand with some kelp.
No, that isn't a beach ball...that's my bump! It's getting BIG!!!
