Dr Digi Scary Halloween

Hello crafty friends :o)  I'm here today with a Dr Digi post. 

Using a Lori Whitlock svg file of Pop Up Box Card Halloween Headstones and just adding some extra details using my Prismacolor pencils, some extra die-cuts, to make my Dr Digi card extra spooky.   The image Scary Pumpkin, backing paper Skull N Bone and the sentiment from Halloween Sentiment sheet; all come from Dr Digi. 

Acetate paper was used for the inner brackets that hold the bats, I thought it looked better than solid paper, almost like they are really flying.  Some glitter scattered throughout the sky to give some sparkle.

Dr Digi: Sorry Box

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post.  If you have been following me for a few years now, you know I love the Killer Kitties line from Dr Digi.

I created these cute little coffin treat holders.  Making sure I get some good use out of the Cut n Scan.
The coffin cutting pattern came from The Cutting Cafe.  The images were colored with my Prismacolor pencils

The first coffin I used the image Hello Herbert West.  I'm not too familiar with this killer.   I did used some frantage embossing and some flakes.

This coffin I used the image Hello Jason.   You can also see some cheesecloth and string was used.  I took a black ink pad to ink around the coffins.

Dr Digi: Woman Eat a Salad

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post. 

When I choose images, some times it's the image itself, or maybe some paper I have horded away for many years.  But when I saw this image from Dr Digi..... a sentiment stamp I bought many years ago came to my mind.  I knew what needed to be done.

Ballroom Brenda is just a fun image.  I thought about an Anniversary card, but I wife might get mad about the sentiment being used for the front .... unless she has a great sense of humor.  I'm sure a great occasion will come to use this beauty.   The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils. 

The sentiment I used is from Unity and I only stamped the bottom portion of the stamp.
