A Prickly BOO from the Southern Girls

It's time for another challenge with us at the Southern Girls.

This fortnight Team Lou have created projects to inspire you for the new challenge





Our generous sponsors for this challenge are

   
Lia Stampz


I Am Roses

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used a cactus from the Cacti digital stamp set by Lia Stampz, one of our generous sponsors this fortnight.  I added a little spook to my cactus and made a cute Halloween card.



I opened the image in Silhouette Studio, added a sentiment (details below), printed on X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.  I trimmed the image panel to size and adhered it to a 5" x 7" card base.  I finished off my CAS card by adding some fun googly eyes, transforming my cactus into a prickly ghost.



I used some of my favourite Copic markers and after some searching blends on the internet, I added some new ones to make some new-to-me green and orange blends.  They are so vibrant in real life and I know I will be using them again.

NOW it's YOUR turn!

I hope that I have inspired you to get creative
