Halloween ATC.

Good morning! I keep thinking the weekend is here LOL  That makes for a long week! I'm off for the next two days, so I have a lot of work I have to get done today. I'm hoping to get some crafting done while I'm home, go to a movie with the hubby and maybe throw some Lacrosse balls at Bailey. We will see how that goes!

My mother's birthday was yesterday. Kevin and I took her to a nice lunch on Sunday to celebrate her birthday and I called her first thing this morning. Then I sent a text to all three of my kids and my sister so they wouldn't forget to call her LOL! Alright... on to my share for the day :)

Here is a little ATC I'm sharing today:







For this ATC I have used Candy Corn Ants from Doodle Pantry. I colored this image with my Copic Markers. I did a little bit of layering with this image. The ghost I covered with white Wink of Stella to give it a bit of a shine. All of the papers are scrap. I did a bit of black inking around the papers. I used yellow on the outside edges of the gem and then put an orange stripe down the middle of it. The 31 are Thickers.

Copic Markers Used:

• Ants: C3, C5, C7, C9

Cute Birds Hello*

Good evening everyone! And a very happy Tuesday evening! Monday was a good day at work. It was pretty quiet and I was able to get a lot done. Monday evening I picked up Bailey from school.. she started conditioning for her High School Lacrosse team. She will be doing a bit of running, but getting in shape! Today we picked her up as well.  Today I worked from home so I was able to have lunch with the hubby and Father-In Law. And in the morning it is back to work for a couple of days. I took off Friday and Monday for the Labor Day Holiday. And to spend a nice long last weekend with my father-in-law before he heads back to Australia. Alright... on to my card today. I hope you all have a great rest of your week!

Little birds:








For this card I have again used Drawn With Character! :D  This is Bird House Spring Love. I used Copic markers to color the image. I did a bit of layering on the image. I cut around the image with a My Favorite Thing Stamp Stack die. I inked the pink on the inside of the die. The bird house die is from Spellbinders. The feathers I believe are from My Favorite Things. I also inked pink around these. All of the papers are from my scrap boxes. I think that was almost the last of my paisley paper. I really LOVE paisley right now. I added the various flowers and the crystals. The 'hi' is from a Thickers pack. On the inside I did a bit of pink inking around the edge and added a few crystals.

Copic Colors Used:

• Bird House: E30, E31, E33, E35, E37; W5, W7, W9
• Roof, Perch and Leaves: YG03, YG17, YG67, G29
• Flowers and Bird: RV21, RV23, R43, RV14
• Flower Center: Y11, Y15, Y19, YR09
• Pole: N3, N5, N7, N9
• Bird: B00, B01, B04, B06
• Beaks: YR02, YR04, YR09
