Since it was Halloween, host Mary Gunn started the episode dressed as her alter ego "Cool Mary", a hip biker chick. The guest Jay Thomas (@craftbyjay) wore a leopard jacket with ears on the hoodie - very funny. I didn't think the roulette wheel, spun 4 times for parameters, was very kind, but it all worked out.
- Project - Postcard(s): I stamped a postcard.
- Colors - Easter Basket: I used orange, yellow, green & pink.
- Element - Pack(s)(ing): I added a stamped kitty in a packing box.
- Random - Shiny: I die cut 3 metallic shiny stars.
I knew I had some postcard stamps around here somewhere. I went with the first one I found, an old Hero Arts cling from 2012. Guest Jay loves cats and seems to work a cat into every card he makes for Craft Roulette. So the joke was that "add a cat" was the fifth parameter. And I already had a cat stamp out to use - yay!! I had spotted the sweet kitty stamp as I was headed for the box with cling backgrounds. The kitty image has other presents around it but I just trimmed those off.
Stamped the postcard and trimmed with a narrow border. Inked around the edges. Stamped, colored and fussy cut the kitty and adhered to the postcard. Pulled a letterpressed sentiment from the stash and added a gold metallic shadow. Popped it onto the postcard overlapping the kitty box a bit. Die cut three gold metallic stars and adhered to the postcard - done!
I didn't turn on the porch light for trick-or-treaters last night. I still had some Halloween Kit Kat bars I could've handed out but I didn't want to leave Craft Roulette. It was cold and rainy so I'm thinking there weren't many kids out anyway...
Thanks for stopping & I hope you have a crafty weekend!!
