Can I talk and craft at the same time?

While having a phone chat with my sweet friend Marcia this morning, I DID craft at the same time!  I love the results - of course it's Second Helpings for Color Hues #71 - I just had to make a Halloween card using Tracey's colors!


I was so happy that Waffle Flower Crafts brought back this BOO bear!


I used my new Watercolor Plaid stencils from Papertrey Ink today, with
the extra 'hands' of my Waffle Flower Craft Grip Mat and Stencil Extender! It sure does the trick when the stencil is nearly the same size as the panel.


Here are the inks and Copics that I used today:


Looks like Big Bear snapped his broomstick coming out of that cloud!

Well, I don't know about you, but those Monday holidays get me all messed up - off I go to do that laundry on Tuesday!!!  Thanks for keeping me company!

I am loving this plaid stencil, Michele! It's so pretty in these colors and the flying bear with his turbo broom is delightful! That vellum cloud is a nice touch too! BTW, I am loving my Waffle Flower Grip Mat!

Off he goes, and so cute on his broom! You made the perfect plaid with your stencil. Love the vellum cloud, too!

This little bear is just too CUTE Michele, flying through the sky on his bent broomstick and along with the bats!! And you know I love the stenciled background...we've definitely been on the same wavelength there this week! But my favorite part of this card? That simple vellum cloud...it totally makes this whole card for me!! LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)

It's no surprise to me that you can (very successfully) craft and chat at the same time. Love this bear on a broom, and the soft tones of Violet and Tangerine you chose. So much fun--and great to see #2 in the gallery at Color Hues!

I thought that bear was a re-do. I was sure you had used him before when I saw Amy R make a card with him recently. That plaid stencil is a great tool and it makes a fun background for the broom riding bear.

Kristin Sluhan said...

Lisa Petrella said...

This is totally adorable, Michele!!! Super fun little scene you've created and that plaid background is absolutely fabulous---gorgeous color combo!!!!

Stef Perry said...

So fabulous, Michele! That bear is delightful and I think I need to pop over to WF to add it to my Halloween collection since I missed it the first time. Totally love your design with the pretty plaid and the clever addition of the vellum cloud! Thanks for sharing 2nd helpings with us at CH, my friend!

What immaculate stamping I was sure the background was DP until I read your post so beautiful and I love your Boo bear and hope he/she has a soft landing on those pretty clouds.

OMWord, this is a darling card Michele! I am sooooo loving that plaid stencil AND the color combo! Big Bear and his campions are too cute and sweet. Love the vellum cloud, poor Big Bear indeed broke his broom coming out of that enormous cloud! LOL I hope he can get it fixed before continuing on with his journey. Such a sweet card Michele! Hugs, Brenda
