halloween wishes

A couple weeks ago, I can across these adorable images from Pink Cat Studios, Itty Bitty Betty and Itty Bitty Bobby.  Melissa offers some images as rubber stamps (an super fast shipping, I might add!) and some as digital stamps.  I ordered some Christmas stamps to play with and also some digital Halloween stamps.  Gotta love the convenience and instant gratification of the digital stamps.  I absolutely love Itty Bitty Betty and Itty Bitty Bobby and had to order some of them in their cute little costumes!  This is Itty Bitty Betty - Ladybug Costume.  I sized the images and printed them out on my white Papertrey Ink cardstock and the rest of the card was created the exact same way I create all of my cards.

I colored Betty with copic markers and added a little glitter to the bottom wings.  Then, I stitched my patterned papers to my black card base.  I stamped the sentiment on orange zest cardstock and punched it out.  I adhered it behind my image, stitched a button in the center, and then adhered both to my card with foam adhesive.  I stitched my buttons to my card and lined the inside of my card with white cardstock.

I made the decision this weekend to leave the Wags 'n Whiskers design team.  I want to make sure everyone knows it has nothing to do with Lacey or Nikki.  They are both amazing ladies and I wish them tons of success!!!  I've just had some things come up recently and didn't feel I could fulfill my design team requirements so I stepped down.  I am sure you will be seeing their adorable images on my blog again in the future.

Have a great week!
