Paper Smooches Sparks & CAS(E) this Sketch #46 + MIM132: Layered Borders Take 2 & MFW Stickers Challenge

While my Halloween stash and scalloped border die were out yesterday, I started wondering if they could be used to make a Mummy card. With Dawn's Make It Monday #132: Layered Border Die Cuts challenge this week I had to give it a try.

This is not the best Mummy card out there, but it did make my kids laugh.



The crepe paper strips were die cut and wrapped around a cardstock panel. The sentiment is made using a Wonderful Words die and Authentique sticker from my stash. The green epoxy sticker eyes are also from my stash.




Because I used stickers on this card, it is also being entered in the Moxie Fab World Stickers & Tape Challenge to celebrate the new issue of Handmade Cards.


This second card combines the Paper Smooches Sparks Cool Shades Challenge with CAS(E) this Sketch! #46.







I love these colors! I colored & fussy cut the owl from My Peeps, picked a sentiment from Chit Chat and then did something I rarely do - decided to stencil an area to anchor my pieces and stamp the sentiment right onto the card front. This really is a big, brave step for me.




I love the swirly stencil and organic shape that is created.




An owl is popped up with foam adhesive and sits on a Memory Box branch die that is trimmed down a bit.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie
