Ai Factory, Scrapmaster's Paradise, Papercraft Star, Tiddly Inks and Top Tip Tuesday

Here is my card for the challenges.  Background printed paper is a very soft blue recycled from packaging; embossed with CB folders on background and orange strip then inked on top; digital image is Ai Factory; Spellbinders deckled rectangle with inked edges in soft blue; sequined spider; fun foam bat and ghost; ribbon from Target; sentiment handwritten; gems from my collection.  TFL


Ai Factory #51 - Embossing
use Ai Factory image



Scrapmaster's Paradise #69 Color Combo
Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie and Bashful Blue







Papercraft Star #17 - Halloween Photo Inspiration









Tiddly Inks #25 - Anything Halloween


TIP for Top Tip Tuesday...... I only buy clear gems and then color them the color I need with a permanent marker.  I use BIC markers but you can use any permanent marker.  I then have the exact color of gem I want when I need it.

  1. What a great idea to colour gems.....I colour brads and buttons but I'd never thought of gems!

    Gorgoeus card too - love the embossing.

    Thanks for joining us at Top Tip Tuesday this week :)

  5. I do the same with gems! It's easier to colour the clear ones with markers rather then buy in colours you need them.
