EEEEK!- A BITTEN BY THE BUG CHALLENGE

i just came back from boston last night. we went to see our son. he is loving it and he proudly showed us the neighborhood what he is calling home now :(

this post is late because i did not have the energy to work on it last night.

my apologies to the BBTB2 team for my delay and to you too for my tardiness.

this week we are working with hello kitty greetings and we are using image #43 on the overlay and page #70 on the handbook.

---this is my take on the challenge---

EEEEK!

5.75"

sweet kitty....she is always so cute.

this is a great cart!

 the orange background was cut using cindy loo. 

it turned out gorgeous!

kitty was cut at 2.25 and the only cuts i used were the base and layer one for the face--no shift.

the bats are the negatives of a paper punch by martha stewart. 

i layered them 4 times and then stickled them---(stickles=glitter glue)

the EEEEK! is from a my pink stamper set called spooky puns---a last year's release.

you can find it here---it has so many cute sentiments :) and where i stamped is the paper punch where i got the bats from, :D

 and this is my kitty...she is too cute to spook. :P another sentiment from the spooky puns set but i already had cut the border and did not fit :(

join us in this challenge picked by my dear theresa---BBTB DT sister!

 a great image to work with. if you do not have Hello Kitty Greetings, you can always use any other similar image for the challenge....NO EXCUSES! ------LOL.

YIKES!---A BITTEN BY THE BUG CHALLENGE

as a newbie for this

Bitten by the Bug team,
i was very surprised they gave me the opportunity to host this weeks challenge. i had to pick an image for the challenge and i chose the vulture from life's a party, page #28. i hope you like the image and if you do not have this cartridge you know you can use another "cute" bird as long as is as handsome as this one, lol.

Yikes!

3.5" x 5.5"

so handsome, he even lost an eye in a battle.

life's a party is another wonderful cricut catridge. you can find this awesome vulture on page@28 of the handbook and it is image #8 on the overlay. i cut him at 2.50" high.

you know i have been onto layering for thickness. i cut several layers and glue them together for thickness. i hope you can see it better on these two pictures. the bat is from another punch and glossy accents was added for details.

the card base is from from the same cart: image #18 on the overlay. the black frame around the embossed red cardstock i made it inserting a smaller layer inside the original, do i make sense? i hope i do :P

the grayish marbled base was a gray cardstock i inked to make it look like a marbled tombstone :-) the RIP is from happy hauntings (image #30 of the overlay) and the bottom flourish is the negative from the card layer. i tweak things around and not everything is "by the book".

the nice brick embossing is from a tim holtz embossing folder called "bricked". look at the details. it is a must have!
*****i will have one embossing bricked folder for a lucky winner who participates in this challenge. you have to let me know you entered the challenge at Bitten by the Bug 2. i will go and look at it and next monday i will  post the person who won. you have 3 days to claim your prize.*****
---

now, i will show you the completed card.

------you can always click on the pictures for a greater view------

 the inside was stamped with a my pink stamper stamp set called spooky puns. it is a set from last year. i purchased it this year so they still have it. you can click here to see what other stamps are in this set.
