Fall Card - My First for 2012

My first Fall card for 2012 is put together using the Harvest Gathering stack from DCWV (I believe it was from last year, so I'm not sure if you can get it anymore).  I followed the sketch from this week's Sketchy Colors challenge.  That was fun, as I haven't used a sketch for quite a long time!  The image is an Inkadinkado clear stamp image that was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa on PTI paper, with some Tea Dye distress ink around the edges.  The Dew Drops are from Robin's Nest, the brown crocheted lace is from my stash, and the butterfly die cuts are from Memory Box, the Darla and Vivienne dies.

Creative Inspirations Paint - Witches Cauldron

Hi there Crafty Friends!  Kimberly here, and I'm back with a new project with CI Paint.  I've used four colors from the Creative Inspirations Paint line on this little witch card.  Amethyst, Lavender, Antique Silver, and Spring Green.  The Amethyst is on both layers of the flower, the Lavender is on the bumpy berry, the Antique Silver is on the smooth berry (this one I dipped right in!), and the Spring Green is on the leaves.

A close up:

The Creative Inspirations Paint I've used:

 

The image is a Simply Sassy digi image from Sugar Nellie, and her name is Witches Cauldron.  The spider  web brad and the fence punch are both from MS.

Thanks so much for joining me today, and I'll be back soon with a new CIP project!

Cute and Creepy Emily

I had purchased this Emily Framed image from Dilly Beans and had to put her on a card for their current challenge.  I've colored her with copics and added some Creative Inspirations Paint over the headband and the flowers.  The flowers are from my friend Sue, as is the ribbon, the patterned paper, the little spider, and the Happy Halloween rub-on.  (yes, she spoiled me with Halloween goodies and you can visit her on YT at Sue7777000)  The silver dew drops are from the Robin's Nest, and the bling is from Recollections.  To hold everything together I've used GlueArts tape gun to layer all of the paper (love this for the size and light weight, as well as the fabulous tape), redline tape for the ribbon, Scotch quick dry adhesive for the paper piecing and flowers, Glossy Accents for the dew drops, and double sided foam tape to pop-up the image on the background.

Creative Inspiration Paints used:

Molded Pieces with CI Paints

I've been having fun making clay pieces with the couple of molds I have, and I'm starting to color them with the Creative Inspirations Paint.  What a change the paint makes, and it goes on so easily! 

Here's a shot of a few batches I've done in the last few days:

The leaves here on the left are painted with Green Olive (and a plain one is beside it), the leaves to the right have Gold painted on them (again, a plain one to compare), and the chain of leaves is a mix of Green Olive and Sage:

This butterfly is painted with Blush and Pink Highlights over it, with a plain pink above it:

Here's a backing for a cameo.  You can see the original in white, and the painted one with the CI Paint Gold over it:

This butterfly shows a plain one and one painted with the Carmel:

Witchy Halloween Card

I had purchased this sweet little witch from Bugaboo Stamps recently, and just had to put her on a card.  I've colored her with copics and added some Creative Inspirations Paint over several of the colors.  The circle and doily are Spellbinders dies, the silver dew drops are from the Robin's Nest, and the little glitter bat and cat came from a sticker sheet.
