totally creepy!


Have you all enjoyed the fantastic challenges over at Stamp a Sweet Impression this week? You still have time to enter and win fab prizes - the deadline is Wednesday night at midnight Pacific time.

I made another Taylored Expressions card using the new set, Spooky Expressions. I stamped the tree, moon, and owl in Chocolate Chip craft ink and then heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. To make my paper look totally creepy, I used some Tea Dye Distress Ink and rubbed it all over the papers and ribbon. I love the look this created and I wonder why I don't do this more? Well, because it really freaks me out to dirty up my paper, that's why! LOL! It's very fun though, so I'll get over my fear and try it out again.

Thanks so much for visiting today!
