Creative Card Crew, Easel Cards and Michelle's Scrapbooking!

For this week's challenge over at the Creative Card Crew, I used one of our sponsors stamps from the Pixie Cottage (Michelle's Scrapbooking), for my first Easel Card. My image stamped with momento ink and colored and shaded with my copics. Flowers are by Prima. Pearl swirls are from my stash.

My next card is a easel card using  a Priscillastyles image.  My image was printed out on my computer and then colored and shaded with copics.  My bats are cut out of my Eclips cutting machine from Sizzex.

Midnight Madness Sketch # 123

For my Midnight Madness card for this week, I used one of Priscillastyle's adorable digital images called
 BAT CAT DIGITAL STAMP.    I colored & shaded my image with copics.  Spellbinders were used to add a window.  My bats were cut out using my Eclips cutter from sizzex.  I made my rhinestone pumpkin by heat embossing my pumpkin image on black card stock, then orange rhinestones were used to fill in my pumkin.  I did not have the green rhinestones so I filled in the leaves with my green stickles.  Spider brads were from last years Halloween stash.

Midnigt Madness Sketch # 122

For my project for this week, I am actually making 2 of these albums for a couple of sweet boys. For my first album, I used  card stocks  from Canvas Corp and Bazzill.  My image is by Pixie Cottage Stamps from Michelle's Scrapbooking Supplies.  My image was colored and shaded with copics.  The weaving on this sketch challenge made an interesting addition for the bottom of my album.  I will be posting more with this project tomorrow!
