Howdy Doo!  Today on the Scrap The Boys Card Challenge the challenge was to use Black & White and one more color, I chose turquoise, plus this month’s sketch, which can be found Here, so head on over and link up your creation!

I have always LOVED black and turquoise together, I had this vision of a vintage car, and since turquoise is a very vintage car color, I thought it would work well for this project.  The card is for my dad’s birthday and I know he will love the Route 66 reference as well as the cars.

STB Route 66 Card

The stamp set is Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Road Trip, I stamped the vintage car three times in Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink onto turquoise cardstock.  I die cut a large circle with the turquoise cardstock and embossed it with Tim Holtz Riveted Metal embossing folder.  I die cut a slightly smaller black circle and embossed that one with the Tim Holtz Diamond Plate embossing folder.  I layered them onto the black card base, added the strip with the cars on top.  I stamped the Route 66 road sign and the sentiment “The Journey Is The Destination” in black onto white cardstock, heat embossed them and cut them out.  I popped both of them up using foam tape.  For the final touch on the outside I added Nuvo white enamel drops to a few spots.

The inside of the card was stamped using a combo of Simon Says Stamp and Close To My Heart stamps, I used the Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink on white cardstock and layered it onto a mat of turquoise.

Happy Wednesday to you!  Today’s project is a Halloween card using the Batty For You stamp/image from Sunsational Stamps.  If you follow my blog you will see this cute little bat is a favorite of mine.  I wanted to show you another cute way to use him!

Incoming Batty!

I used Simon Says Stamp stitched circle dies, and evenly spaced the 1-3/4 inch circle down the center of the purple cardstock.  I printed the digital image in three sizes so I could make it appear that the bat is flying into the window of the card.  I fussy cut each one out and adhered it to yellow-orange cardstock after coloring each one with alcohol markers.  Then I adhered the panel to a lighter purple card base.

For the inside I used the Spider in the Web image and it is ready to go!
