Halloween Sentiments at Club KennyK

Exciting news - I have been asked to stay on as Guest Designer at Club KennyK during October as a Halloween Hottie!
The fun has already started for our '31 Days of Halloween' special challenges. There will be a new inspiration photo posted by the DT & GDT members everyday throughout October.
This week we are concentrating on sentiments. There is an extra competition too asking for the best Halloween sentiment, which will be made up KennyK Style!!

For my first creation I have chosen to use a non-Halloween image 'Happy Hour'. as it matched perfectly to one of the Halloween Sentiments. Any followers will know I love to try new things and this is a pop-up card that I hadn't tried before. I found it on Pinterest and you can see the step-by-step here.

Papermania cardstock
Recollections (Michaels) designer paper and embellishments
3D foam squares
Gold Sharpie
White Sakura Gelly Roll
Promarkers - Burnt Sienna, Caramel, Dusky Pink, Satin Black, Cool Grey 1-5, Burgundy, Cardinal, Ruby, Cocoa, Rose Pink, Aubergine, Plum, Amethyst, Lilac, Lemon, Soft Lime & Primrose

Parisian Love

Hello Crafty Peeps!
Today I am sharing my card as the Guest Designer for the October challenge at

I was looking for something to use for an upcoming birthday and I found this 'Paris' image which is just perfect. It's quite a big image so I've kept it CAS and mounted it to a square Kraft card. I grounded the image with a bit of stippling and also gave it a bit of a glow by stippling yellow around. I've framed it with some blue squiggles and added a sentiment to finish off.

Promarkers used: Burnt Orrange, Coral, Dusky Pink, Almond, Cerise, Mustard, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Burgundy, Cardinal, Ruby, Lipstick, Indigo, True Blue, Cobalt, Arctic Blue, Coole Grey 1-5, Black, Primrose, Soft Lime & Lemon.
