Is It Fall Yet??? FWF #40

Happy Friday, folks! Time for another Friends with Flair post, featuring Unity stamps! You can check out everyone's projects here. Better yet...why not come and play with us next week? :)

Well, temperatures finally dipped down into the 80's for a couple of days, so it's starting to feel a little bit like fall here in southern California! Sheesh! Of course, one of the beauties of living here is that the kids have club sports all year round. Here's an action shot of Marika from her game last Sunday - one of her strengths is always hustling after the ball, even though she's smaller than average.

There was a technique I'd used several years back, that I wanted to revisit this week - the act of stamping on PearlEx pigment powders, to remove the image. I chose Ghosts, Goblins, Witches {Wit and Wisdom} and got crafty - and tried to see if I could pull it off.

I used an old sketch at Seize the Sketch (sketch #24)...

I used Pumpkin Orange from Series 3 of the PearlEx line. All you do is apply Versamark on the background paper, brush some pigment powder on, and then stamp (I used ink, but you're probably supposed to use Versamark - I can't remember!) to remove the powder and "make" your image. I also used some ancient Making Memories patterned paper and embellishments. Cropchocolate folks, you'll recognize it and probably have your own hoard, too!

So are you all getting geared up for Halloween? We're not! The kids have decided that they are done - not too bad, considering they are 9 and 11 years old. I guess they decided it was an awful lot of work for a bunch of candy they didn't want to eat. I have to admit - I was thrilled to hear this... no stressing over a costume this year!

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a party pooper... 10 years of Halloween is enough for me, though!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a chance to get crafty - thanks for visiting! :)
