Gel Press and Viva Las Vegas Stamps Gone Batty

Good Morning Ladies,
The dogs are all full of fun and games this morning. Running in and out...playing together. Such joy comes from a cat squeaky mouse. It will be lost again soon not to be found until another day.
The card for today is Gel Press and Viva Las Vegas Stamps Gone Batty

The Gel Press is involved again! The background was created using the Gel Press for a final pull. There was not much paint left on it, so I sprayed it with ink dye spray and took one last pull. It looked to be a great Halloween sky. The spooky tree line from Viva Las Vegas Stamps was the perfect image to put with this background. It was stamped in Archival ink.The moon was created using acrylic paint in two colors and the Tim Holtz round tool. The bats are wood and painted with black paint. The bats are from my stash. 

The inside sentiment is from Martha Stewart.
Happy Scraps,

Step Card Dog Rally

Good Morning Ladies,
It is still humid here. They say by mid-week it should get better. I am looking forward to that.
The card for today is Step Card Dog Rally

As you can see I am getting ready for several dog show raffle baskets. So many dog cards...so little time. This card was created using the step card die from the Stamps of Life. The background paper is from a mystery package from Hobby Lobby. The dog is an image from Katzelkraft. He was stamped on watercolor paper with Archival ink. He was then colorized with watercolors and hand cut. The cone image is from Viva Las Vegas Stamps. They are hand cut. The 100% rock star is from Fiskars. The congrats is hand written in white gel pen.

Good Morning Ladies,
I went with my friend Judy to a Wine and Sign class last night at Once Again. We had a great time and didn't do bad painting our signs.
