Trick or Treat.....


Well I just walked outside to take the garbage out and on this first day of Autumn it is actually warm out. Go figure! Yesterday we turned on the heat and today I will be opening windows!!!!

While looking at blogs and picking up some freebies I came across this little darling on the Rusty Pickle.  I just thought he was the cutest little thing.  I have a soft spot for my Teddy Bears so I decided to make a card with him.  My hubby states I need to expand and use more of my images so this is at his request!


I colored him with my copics and actually tried something new. I did the shading around him too, rather than using chalks.  I need some practice but I did like the way it turned out! I used C00, C1, C3 and O. The original did not have the spots on his little dog suit but I thought he looked like a Dalmatian since he was sitting next to a fire hydrant so I added them. The trick or treat bag and hydrant got a nice thick coating of glossy accents to make them shine and the candy and pumpkin got stickled! You know how I love sparkle!  My background paper was made with a piece of white card stock, my stamp pad and a stamp from Stampin' Up that I have had for eons.  I just randomly stamped the dog paw onto the card stock. I distressed the edges of my cut out puppy with my handy dandy scissors (note to self - need to get a distressing tool), added some orange ribbon and made a cute little ticket from some that my lovely friend Doreen sent me (thanks again) to finish the look!

  4. How in the world do you keep up with all these challenges. It would drive me insane!!
    Kym, this little puppy looks so cute and I agree with you he needed to have spots. I love the glossy accents you added and the sparkle.
    What are you talking about HEAT on!!!!! It was so HOT here in Tennessee yesterday. I think it got up to 95. I'll be so glad when Fall gets here. I love seeing the leaves change colors and take on a whole new look.
    Hugs:)
