Shoot for the Moon

I’m trying to  use up my stash of DP that I’ve purchased over the years, it’s like I love it too much to use it which is silly.  As I was laying out the papers this little monkey just happened to under the circle die and I though – Hey, why not use it instead of coloring up a stamp?  So no stamps, no digi papers – quite the departure for me!  I added my favorite technique – faux stitching.  I love to use this technique when I’m too lazy to dig out my sewing machine – the trick for me is to have a new gel pen that flows nicely.

As I was making this card the song Rocket Man by Elton John kept popping up in my head – I haven’t listened to Elton for awhile so I logged on to Rhapsody and I enjoyed listening to his new album!

Colors of Halloween – that’s the challenge for the next two weeks with Di’s Digi Designs Challenges.  To me that mean the traditional orange and black but I like to throw in some green and purple too!

It’s hard to believe Halloween is only a few short weeks away.  Mother Nature decided to reinforce that today – we are having a SNOWSTORM today!  Okay maybe not a snowstorm but it is NASTY outside with the wind and snow continuing to come down.  Thankfully the sun is supposed to shine Sunday and all of this mess will melt away (I hope!)

We have the wonderful Marker Pop as our sponsor for this challenge. MarkerPOP.com is an online retailer dedicated to providing high quality markers & stamping products backed by superior service and affordable prices. Their huge selection of Markers & Stamping products and Price Match Guarantee program make them the one stop shop for supplying all your stamping needs.

Have you wanted to have a pumpkin embellishment but didn’t have a pumpkin die?  Well if you have an oval die you’re in luck!  Die cut 3 ovals – place two of them side by side and then layer the third one over the top and presto-chango you have a pumpkin; a small green strip can be added to the stem.  To add a bit of depth, ink each of the oval with a bit of ink.
