Digital Delights Paper Piecing Design Team

Digital Delights
Paper Piecing 
Design Team

Today I have another 
Halloween Scrapbook Page 
for you.

I have used the 
and

If you saw my previous scrapbook layout,
this one will look familiar. 





The papers were from 
Recollections,
Haunted Manor Paper Pad
and 
K&Company,
Spook*Tacular Paper Pad.

I used white and black gel pens 
on the lil' devil's face
and white gel pen 
for highlights.

The "BOO to You!" sentiment had very fine orange letters.
So to dress it up a bit and give it a touch of sparkle,
I used Paprika Stickles, which is one of the six new Stickles colors,
on them.

Delightful Challenges...Distressed

Time for another challenge at 

The challenge is
 Distressed

Distress it,
Grunge it,
Rough it up.

 This week's sponsor is...


Now I am the first one to tell you
I don't do distressed.
But that is what challenges are, right?
To reach out of your comfort zone.

As always when I have a new design team project,
I go looking through the Digital Delights images.
See what speaks to me.
When I saw Handy Harry,
I knew he was the image I wanted.
I mean look at him, 
he's so cute.
And if I am gonna distress a card,
I need some help.
And a mouse with a tool kit 
seemed like just the help I needed.

Then there is the matter of a sentiment.
As a design team member,
we use only Digital Delight's sentiments.
So I went through the sentiments
I knew just which sentiment from the set to use!!

Here is my card...


I colored the image with
Copic Markers
B05, C5, E000, E00, E11, E25, E31, E33, E37, R02, R20, R29, Y13, Y28, YG17. 100
And Gel pens in
silver, gold, and white.

I did a fussy cut to Harry.

I used my SpellBinder Grand Calibur
and the Big Scalloped Rectangles SM for the mat
behind Harry.
I crumbled the mat up,
I chalked the edges of.
 the mat, the card, and the sentiment
with 
French Blue 
Color Box Chalk. 

The paper was from a huge pile of paper
I received from a Freecycler
when I first started cardmaking.

The brads are from Recollections
and I took a nail file and roughed them up.

The only thing I own that
 is actually a distressed embellishment
is 
Clear Rock Candy Stickles.
It was a gift.
So I knew I had to use it somewhere.
So I put a drop on each of the scallops
on Harry's mat. 

Of course I used my
We R Memories
Envelope Punch Board
and matching paper
and made an envelope.
Now I use a slightly different size
than the board states
for a 4.25" x 5.5" card.
I cut my paper to 8" x 8"
and score at 3.5".

I would have to say
I distressed it.
I grunged it.
And I roughed it up!!

Thanks for stopping by.
