Breaking up is hard to do!

 Well I've put it off as long as I can and now it's time to let you know that I am saying goodbye to my position on the Paper Makeup Design Team. It is a sad decision on my part.
It is hard to leave, especially a team that is so full of energy and support.  The ladies of this team always made me smile, I never knew what they'd come out with next.  That was the magic of this team, and the owner herself is just if not more wonderful.  I will miss Katie most.

Ok enough with the sad stuff, I have some Paper Makeup Cards to show you using the halloween set called Spooky Solids and Spooky Sentiments.  I know it's too early for Halloween but I just can't resist.

For this card I stamped the skull on Kraft cardstock and coloured it in with a white Prisma colouring pencil.  (they rock!!).  I didn't blend the pencil I just let it blend itself.  That's what is so great about Prisma pencils, with enough pressure they work themselves out.

-After I stamped the spiders I added a little grey shadow underneath with Copic Grey W1, just to give a little dimension. 

-You can also just stamp a second spider slightly down from the original in grey ink if you don't like to freehand. 

-With a pencil lightly draw lines down to the center of each spider, punch holes along the pencil line and tread through the holes. 

-or use a sewing machine to stitch the lines. 

**Start at the spiders head and work your way up.  That way you won't end up with the stiticing inside the spiders head.
