all of these new products are so fun!
my first project uses the new Franken-Newton stamps and dies!

I stamped and colored the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then I used the coordinating die to die cut it out! so fun! I was **this close** to coloring the kitties green, but then backtracked and used greys! i like how it came out!

for the background, I used Distress Inks in Uncharted Mariner, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina. then I used the Clouds Stencil and the same colors to add a texture-y cloudy sky. but I didn't stop there! ha! I used the Starfield Stencil and some white embossing paste to add even more spooky-ness and texture!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock, and then fussy cut out the first part. I used the small banner from the A7 Frames & Banners for the second!

my next two projects are scrapbook layouts with the new paper pads!
my first one uses the Halloween Meows paper pad!

I used watercolor in purples for the background. and once it was dry, I used the Cascading Stars Stencil and white embossing paste on top for some night sky texture! (seemed appropriate since we were dressed as Space Invaders!)

I die cut out papers with the banners from the A7 Frames & Banners and Frames & Flags Die Set! then I used my sewing machine to stitch them all to the background!

my next layout uses the Halloween Woofs Paper pad...and this time, we're dressed up as the Lego Movie characters! lol!

so fun!
I used the papers behind the photos and behind the 'torn' edges!

I also did some watercoloring in greens and yellows on the side. and then used some white embossing paste and the Spiderweb stencil to add a little spooky texture!

so fun, and so awesome! ha!
