World Of Michael Trent

This was a fun card to make. I used the branch from the Bird Sanctuary set (M4746) by Stampington - stamped it in Eden Green Stazon ink. The owl is from Impress ( www.impressrubberstamps.com ). Added the atlers and ornaments from the Deer to My Heart set (CL114) from Memorey Box ( www.memoryboxco.com ). Love, love, love their stamps. The message at the bottom I did on my computer.

This card was made using just 1 image - 96847-P by Inkadinkado. Stamped in Eden Green Stazon ink. Added Frosted Lace stickles where the snow would be. Layered it on red paper and then red paper with snowflakes on it. The "seasons greetings" message is from Hero Arts.

Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos is a very cool holiday. It is a 3 day Mexican holiday in which people honor those loved ones who have passed on. The card below consists of Ghostly Night 3218K by Penny Black ( www.pennyblackinc.com ) and 4 images from Viva Las Vegas. I used only black ink on white paper and layered.

Below are some Halloween cards I made today. Although they are basically the same as the puzzles, these have been layered on cardstock and there is a pocket inside that the puzzle will sit in.

Several people asked me to make a Halloween puzzle for their children. These are what I made this weekend. The craft puzzles are all 5" x 7" from http://www.inkadinkado.com/ . Witch image (Night of the Witch - 2812K) is from Penny Black ( http://www.pennyblackinc.com/ ) and the word phrases are all from The Angel Company. All images were stamped in pigment ink and clear embossed. This pumpkin image is from Peddler's Pack. I found it yesterday on my stamp store road trip at Kathy John's in Storrs , CT - with my good friend Sue Macken !! I stippled Pumpkin Stazon ink in the pumpkin image and Dove Gray Stazon around the image. The yellow is just a Marvy Brush Marker clear embossed. Oh, to get the yellow inside the pumpkin I cut the eyes, nose, and mouth out. The scary tree and graveyard image (Ghostly Night - 3218K) is from Penny Black ( http://www.pennyblackinc.com/ ) and the kid in the ghost costume is from Too Much Fun Rubber Stamps ( http://www.toomuchfunrubber...

This is a card I did for a swap I was in. Had to do 8 of them. Fun but time consuming. Stamped image (Holiday Pear Collage, 3429R, http://www.rubberstampede.com/ ) using Stazon black ink onto the smooth side of an acetate sheet. Trim. Turn over and, using alcohol inks, colored in the different areas of the image. Gold on the star and pear, some greens on the holly leaves, reds and greens over the rest. Layered on gold paper, which was layered on red cardstock, which was layered onto the card. On the front of the image I used Stickles glitter glue to highlight certain areas of the card.

This is an indian themed card I made. The paper is from www.doveoftheeast.com . The stamp is called Painted Elephant Large from www.stampfrancisco.com . I used archival ink, watercolor crayons, added some stickles from Ranger on the flowers and the spots surrounding the flowers, and a bead in the center of each one. Layered it on the Fall Cardstock colors from DCWV.
