* Catch the Bug - 3 Layers, Dies, Distressed

Today's card is made with Anna Griffin's new Christmas door dies and brick embossing folders. It's 5.5 x 7.5", and after I embossed the bricks, I took my brayer and some brick colored ink and rolled over the bricks which made them look distressed, then I took one of my gray copic markers and filled in between the bricks and along the sides, I really like the way it turned out. I cut the door dies and all the accessories and made a dining room background for the inside of the door which is made to open. and adhered it to the front and assembled all the pieces. I cut out a background die and a couple of label dies (all Anna Griffin) and adhered them to the inside and stamped the cornicopia and senti to the smallest label die and colored it with my copics. I punched out a bunch of branches (Martha Stewart's) in different colors and made a wreath for the front of the door. All the accessory pieces came in the set.

That's all for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!

One of my cleaning clients, who is also a card maker, got these Tim Holtz Arthur the Owl dies and I just fell in love with him and had to have them and this my version. This is really a fun die to work with, but the hardest part is deciding which colors to use. After that it's like putting together a puzzle, although there's a lot of small pieces to this puzzle. I chose  fall colors and a snarky thankful theme, which was computer generated, just seemed to fit. The card started out to be 6 x 8" to house Arthur's large size, (5 1/8 x 2 7/8") but somehow the base ended up being wonky, so I tried to even the sides by cutting them down and whittled it down to 5 7/8 x 7 5/8". The blue, stars, mirror, background paper is from Hunkydory's Glittering Galaxies 8 x 8" Mirri Pad, the trees die I got on Ebay, can't remember whose it is. The fence and metallic leaves are from Michael's, the pumpkins is an older foam die from my stash, (?) and the moon was cut with a Spellbinders round die.

That's it for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!

Thanks to all the challengers for lettin' me play along.
