Spectember & Oreos

I’ve enjoyed being part of month-long event named “Spectember” sponsored for Spectrum Noir products. Here are my entries for two more of the challenges.

Spectember Day 27 Challenge is “Create a Background.” I used Stampscapes trees and grasses to create a scenic background. The owl, a wood mount stamp from a company named Northwoods stamps that appears to no longer be in business,  is printed on kraft brown paper and colored with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. The sentiment is computer generated. Kraft

Spectember Day 28 Challenge is “Birthday Celebration.” For this card, I used a special image from a digi company named Craftin’ Desert Divas that recently closed due to family health issues. I’ve collected several adorable images from CDD over the years, and this one, named “Coffee Hero” is one of my favs. I nabbed the “Bat Car” digi during their close-out sale and was fun to include it on this card. The base of the card is actually from a set of boxed cards that I picked up a few months ago at Goodwill. I love the bold sentiment patterns that cover the card fronts. I sketched out and fussy-cut a batman symbol from yellow vellum to add a bit more color to the front of the card. The “But First Coffee” sentiment on the inside is a freebie from HERE. And the digis are colored with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen.

My final card for this blog features a Little Scraps of Heaven digi named Cute Cookie. I colored it with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen.  The sentiment is from an Imagine That digi set named Jars of Cheer.
