I'd Pick YOU!

For this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches,  I'd pick you as my friend...
Our sponsor is our DT member, Jessi!  She hand crochets on paper circles and you can see by my card that they make a super special card! 


 Here is my card, please come and join us at Tuesday Morning Sketches for this challenge:

I used Jessi's crocheted circle in black and layered it with a scallop circle and then a circle..both from Spellbinders and they fit perfectly!  The flowers are handmade by a friend, Sigi, that rehabilitates wildlife and the money made from the sale of the flowers goes to help feed/take care of her wildlife until it can go back into the wild.   Flowers available here.

Tuesday Morning Sketches sketch this week was also designed by Jessi!:

Dutch Paper Crafts Halloween House

The release i am using is called the Marianne Design "Garden Release" for Dutch Paper Crafts.
The set includes, 2 bench seats, topiary, butterfly, wheelbarrow and watering can.

For this project i created a Halloween house using Marianne Designs "straight" bench seat #LR0259 from the release:

Some other dies on this card NOT in the release are:
Marianne Designs House CR1217

What i did:
i cut out the house in black coredinations paper (core is gray) and sanded it.  Then i cut the house out of a double sided paper with orange dots on one side and spider webs on the back side.. I cut the top of the house off and rotated it for the top of the house.  Then i machine stitches the sides of the orange dotted house to the black house.  Then i cut up the front of the house so that the card will open in the center.  I had to discard the door.  I attached the bench seat to the right side flap.  Colored up Tilda and attached her to the seat.   I added glitter black pipe cleaners to the peaks of the house with a glue gun.  Then i was trying to find some paper to fill the windows and found the ghosts, but i wanted something different for the top window and came across this cut out circle i had in my stash, my intention was to cut it to fit the window and then i realized it would make a perfect rotating message..so i attached it with a brad.  Then i added the stickers to make the sentiments.
