More Oranges

As it's coming up to Hallowe'en soon (ok in about 6 weeks, but I send out loads of cards so have to start early!) I'll be making lots of orangey cards, so here's a few for you!

My first one is for SC350 for the sketch, Papertake Weekly's Things with Wings Challenge, Papertrey Princess Leigh's Challenge to use 2 different patterned papers and for Make It Monday's Challenge #32 to use acrylic paint. I used white acrylic paint to add the wings and faces to my little bats and the stars in the background. Thinking about it now I really should have chosen a different patterned paper as I have 2 layers virtually the same, but initially my bats were going to be just on white card, but they looked wrong. Nevermind, I still like it!

Recipe:
Stamps: Hallowe'en Treats & Sweets, Wise Owl both from Papertrey Ink
Papers: Only Orange (retired), Basic Black both from Stampin' Up, Halloween Prints Patterned Papers from Papertrey Ink, Copics White
Inks: Basic Black, Sahara Sand, Basic Gray all from Stampin' Up
Accessories: White Acrylic Paint, Hallowe'en Treats & Sweets Dies from Papertrey Ink


My next card is another Hallowe'en one using Waltzing Mouse's Sketch Challenge #65. I absolutely LOVE this card - love the curvy bottom using Labels 14 Nesties and the dark brayered sky too. And the sentiment from this set is just perfect for this stamp, don't you think?

Recipe:
Stamps: Gracie at Hallowe'en from Waltzing Mouse Stamps
Papers: Only Orange (retired), Basic Black both from Stampin' Up, Copics White, Apothecary Emporium Patterned Papers from Echo Park
Inks: Barely Banana (retired), Sahara Sand, Basic Gray, Basic Black all from Stampin' Up, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics
Accessories: True Black Button from Papertrey Ink, Orange Twine from The Ribbon Reel, Scallop Edge Border Punch from Stampin' Up, Labels 14 and Circle Nestabilities

My next card is not a Hallowe'en one, but it has orange on it - well ok Peach, but that's kind of orange right?! This is for CC340 to use Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade and Pool Party and Cute Card Thursday's Challenge #182 Anything Goes. I also used old Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #26 for the sketch. I bought some Kraftin' Kimmie Hallowe'en stamps last week and added a non-Hallowe'en one too and these are just gorgeous to stamp and colour in. Yet another addiction to add to the pile I guess! 

Recipe:
Stamps: Rebecca Raspberry from Krafin' Kimmie Stamps
Papers: Peach Parfait cs & DSP from hostess pack, Poppy Parade cs & DSP from hostess pack, Pool Party all from Stampin' Up, Copics White
Inks: Poppy Parade from Stampin' Up, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics
Accessories: Sizzix Sweet Buttons Embosslit

And my final card is a Fall card rather than a Hallowe'en one. I like this idea of the different coloured leaves and rectangles that I came up with (I'm sure I must have seen something similar on the 'Net somewhere but no idea where so if I have inadvertently CASEd you, let me know so I can credit you properly!). I do think I should have embossed each panel though as they look a bit plain now I look at it again. Anyway this one is for Friday MashUp's Challenge #24 to make a fall card and/or use yellow and orange. Mine started off with the yellow and orange and as I added more and more green I didn't feel it quite met that bit of the challenge. I used CC339 to use Always Artichoke, So Saffron and Cajun Craze and for old Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #119.

Recipe:
Stamps: Friendship Jar Fall Fillers from Papertrey Ink
Papers: Cajun Craze cs & DSP from Regals Stack, So Saffron cs & DSP (retired), Always Artichoke all from Stampin' Up, White scraps from stash
Inks: Cajun Craze from Stampin' Up
Accessories: So Saffron striped Ribbon (retired), Sizzlits Little Leaves Die, Linen Thread all from Stampin' Up, Circle Nestabilities, Buttons from Elzybells

And that's all from this post folks! Thanks for stopping by!
