  Todays Challenge is dice roll challenge.  2-step, sympathy, fancy fold, Black & white and a trinket.    So I spent time thinking of how to do 2 step black and white and I couldn't think of a way to do that so I added blueberry bushel to my card.  My fancy fold is a faux side step card I also wasn't sure what a trinket would be so I stuck with normal embellishments.   Blog Hop Index

  Happy Halloween! Can you guess todays theme? As kids Halloween was big for us we lived near a haunted house the owers spent month setting it up over 1000 people would visit and then visit us after or before, my dad also did a nice fire work display and we had hot chocolates it was quite fun. But then they retired and downsized and the fireworks were band  (which was good for my dog) So Halloween isn’t a big thing for us anymore so I didn’t buy any Halloween themed sets so we had to think out side of the box. I do a paper and embellishment share with my team so I knew I would have those but what to use. Most of my sets are animals so I decide to work with that. And I thought what would a bunny want to be for Halloween? Well a turtle of course.   I stamped the bunny and the turtle coloured them and fussy cut out the bunny’s head & feet, then did the same for  the turtle. Then we Frankenstein-d them together with glue.   I took one of the small grey tomb stones from the dsp,

I also love colouring, it was fun to pear these elements together.  I used our blending brushes to create the sky  I only inked the bottom of the calm and quite so I got the dock and the grass The sand part is stamped with the ocean front set  Then I stamped the ocean waves from the orca's and then I used our blends to colour the dock chair, rock and ocean, I did and some shading with the black water pencil.   I fussy cut the left side of the card around the ocean to look like waves and put the die cut mountains in front of it but the right side was not cut and layered right on top. with the rock in front.  To add the orca's I used a craft knife and slit the paper to have dorsal fin popping out the tails and the orca's it self to help the orca's in the ocean effect.  To make the water foam and waves I mixed a few drops pearlized enamel effe
