While wandering through card challenge-land I discovered a new (for me) challenge called The Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers. Wow! Where have you guys been all my life? This challenge has my name all over it and the current Challenge #191 is "F is for F Words" and since Fran is an F word...
I don't have any "naughty" F word stamps or supplies but as I LOVE making Halloween cards, I opted for this Count Dracula (Stamp Francisco) and the sentiment from Impression Obsession (#CL366 "When Life").
On a a 5"x 5" folded card base I stamped the corner cobweb (Tim Holtz) with Memento "Tuxedo Black" ink and then stamped it twice more with white embossing powder on black and black ink on the lavender scrap. I black embossed the count on white stock, colored his skin with "Wax White" Copic marker, added some blood to his fangs, and fussy-cut him out. The sentiment was white embossed on red-orange card stock and die cut with a Stampin' Up "Framelits Chalk Talk" tag. I cut down a matching red-orange envelope to make it square and lined it with some cobweb paper from my Halloween stash. The blood spatters on the tag and envelope are from a very old stamp set and I used VersaMark watermark ink to get the red stains. And finally, I tied the tag off with some black and lavender baker's twine.I'm looking forward to some further participation with these snarky ladies!
Your cards are just wonderful Fran and I'm so glad you've discovered the Snarky Sisterhood! Snark is definitely missing in my stash but I'll be on the look out!! Vicky x
