CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF943

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is this sketch:

I made this card for a friend who has been immensely helpful to me over the years when I have had safe food preservation questions. Between her and the National Center for Home Food Preservation, I know I am getting good, safe preservation practices. The NCHFP sometimes takes weeks to respond when I have a question, but my friend is always willing to answer right away, bless her!

I don't know if you can see it, but I added clear Wink of Stella to the pumpkins for some subtle glimmer, since I didn't use any shiny embellishments.

CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Spooky Things

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is spooky things, and it doesn't get much more spooky than a graveyard at night with ghosts rising from the ground!

The Smoky Slate background was embossed with Swirls of Magic then adhered to the card base. After heat embossing the greeting on Basic Gray, I used an Everyday Arches die to create the headstone, then added some ghosts rising from the ground.

I don't think this card really qualifies as spooky, because those ghosts look too friendly, lol. 👻

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.

CSF Thursday Challenge - CSF942

This week's Create With Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge is a color challenge that perfectly suits the Thanks & Giving stamp set.

The wreath image and greeting were stamped in Early Espresso rather than Basic Black Hybrid, for a slightly less bold look. I used the dark shades of the Stampin' Blends to color the wreath, which was then cut with a Spotlight on Nature die.
