Trick or Treating with Tiddly Inks and Simply Betty Stamps

Welcome to the collision of Tiddly Inks and Simply Betty Stamps. :) One fun, fun, fun blog hop!

Betty (of Simply Betty Stamps and my DT member) and I are big Halloween fans, so naturally we had to put together a fun Trick or Treat Blog Hop.

How to Participate: Post your creation on your personal blog today between 12:00 PM CST (noon) and 5:55 PM CST. The title of your post should be "Trick or Treating with Tiddly Inks and Simply Betty Stamps." If possible, your post is to include a Trick (a technique) or a Treat (a gorgeous card :D).

Once your blog post is completed, visit the Simply Betty Stamps blog and link your blog hop post in the Inlinkz list at the bottom of the Blog Hop post in order to be qualified for the prizes. There is no need to sign up in advance, but the Inlinkz list will close at 6:00 PM.

Then we hop, Halloween style, from the Simply Betty Stamps blog. If you don't plan to enter a card, still come along and comment. :) Everyone would appreciate it and you might get super inspired---or spooked. :)

Prizes: Two random blogger participant winners will be announced November 5 and highlighted on the hosting blogs, Tiddly Inks and Simply Betty Stamps. Each will receive a $10 gift voucher from Tiddly Inks and digital images of her choice from Simply Betty Stamps. will be giving away digital images of the winner's choice.

Many of the design team members are offering freebies and prizes along the way, so even if you don't plan on entering a card, come along and find all the tricks and treats.

Now here is my creation using one of the Simply Betty Stamps...I loved having a chance to play with some of the Simply Betty images...they are fab and such fun to colour. This image is my favourite as it reminds me of one of Georgia's best friends...so I have coloured her to look like her...This image is called Betty.

I have decided to share a little trick with you. Now when I first started to colour with Copics I always started with the lightest colour first and built up to the dark....and now with more experience and what I have learnt from blog hopping....I start with the darkest colour first. Now I don't know if that is news to all of you. I am pretty sure that those of you who have taken a Copics Course will know this....but if not, you do now as I am sharing the tip.

And now if you are still reading I am also sharing a treat with you......if my card wasn't enough. I have a digi prize for one person who leaves me a comment. You will get to choose the Tiddly Inks image of your choice.....so make sure when you have finished reading you leave me a comment. The winner will be chosen using random.org at 21:00 GMT on 31st October 2010.

I have used the following colours on my card...

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

Hair - E18/E19

Clothing - R37/R39/R46/W5/W7/W9

The papers are a mixture of Daisy & Dandelion and Magnolia, layered with some Craftwork Cards shimmer cardstock. I have also added some glitter foam embellishments from Hobbycraft, a sentiment by Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs for Whimsy Stamps....and finally a few bats created using my Martha Stewart bat punch.

Now, don't hit anything on the way back to the list...you know, bad joke with the two companies colliding....LOL (OK, I stole the pun from Christy)

This is the list of the design team members for both companies if you want to start with a few blogs. The rest are to be found in the inlinkz list on Betty's blog.
