Close To My Heart Raven Card

Welcome to another Friday reveal for Paper Craft Anonymous.  This week I made a clean and simple Halloween card.  I used the bird from the Believe in Yourself set, heat embossed him in black and fussy cut.
     I used the front and back of one of the designer papers from the collection Scaredy Cat as my card bases. I like using both the front and back since they are designed to match each other.
     Lastly I dry embossed some matching purple paper with a diagonal stripe.  I felt the dry embossing added interest, but didn't overwhelm the patterns.
     I used this bird for Halloween since he looked a little creepy to me, but I could definitely see him also being used for more steampunk cards or even a mixed media canvas.  What would you use him for?
     Until next time...Keep Scrapping!

Fast and Furious Boy Card


   

     Welcome to my first post for Paper Crafter Anonymous...the awesome team run by Close To My Heart rep Heather.  
     For my first project I chose to make a boy card since I use a lot of those.  I also made this card entirely from scraps so I could show what beautiful results you can get with your leftovers.
    I didn't put a specific sentiment on the outside of the card on purpose.  I wanted to be able to store it in my stash and use it for maybe birthday, high school graduation or even a boy get well card.
I hope you enjoyed my first creation for this blog, and will come each week to check out what I've created.  Until next time...keep scrapping!

Winter Blue Layout

     I'm been really busy scrapping lately as I have another reveal up.  This time for Southern Girls Challenge with the theme of Winter Blues.
     I used Echo Park's Keeping Cozy collection from the 6x6 pad, and a sketch I found through google images.  I looked it up on my phone though, and haven't been able to find it since so I can't direct you to who created it :-(
     I also used my Epiphany Crafts epoxy machines to create my embellishments.  The star on the right and the deer on the left of the photos are both from the paper pack.
    I hope you'll come join us from the Winter Blues challenge, and create something chilly as we have the last hot days of summer here.  Until next time...Keep scrapping!

Child's Play Challenge - Sequins Halloween Layout

     It's time for another reveal at Child's Play Challenge and this time we needed to use sequins.  For me...that was no challenge at all!  Even though I have a boy I love using boy color sequins.  I even have wood grain sequins; which I think are my favorite.
     For this layout I pulled out an old Doodlebug Designs Halloween collection and the one photo we have of M on his first Halloween.  We don't celebrate, but they were having a party at school so I bought him a great pumpkin shirt.
I usually struggle with strips for some reason, but I love how these came out and how they offset how dark his shirt is.
     I hope my layout inspires you to come over and play with us.  I'd love to see what you create with sequins. Until next time...Keep Scrapping!
