CAS(E) this Sketch #245 - Happy Halloween

I love spooky cute Halloween characters, and I make a card or two every year using my favorite Halloween stamp set. I've been using these character stamps for the past 5 years!




My design inspiration is Donna's Retro Sketch for this week's CAS(E) this Sketch (#245):





I attached a mini action wobble to the back of the mummy, so he wobbles when you flick his foot.


 
I didn't have a Halloween sentiment stamp of the right size, so I created a sentiment using MS Word (font: Aprillia Script) and printed it on the cardstock. 


I'm linking up to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (Anything Goes), too.
Thanks for looking!

CAS(E) this Sketch #244 - hello

I was checking out one of my favorite sites, Design Seeds, and I saw this image.



I realized I'd never used purple with brown & orange in my cards, so I wanted to use the color combination and make something.
Here's what I made:



My design inspiration is from the sketch from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch!








I wove the front diamond panel with strips of cardstock to add visual interest. The base panel was lightly brushed with Distress Oxide Ink, and the two diamond panels were raised with foam tape.



I'm happy I got to play with the design using the new color combo!

Thanks for visiting!
