BOO
I'm not really big on Halloween, but it's fun to see the little ones all dressed up. Fritz is doing so well even when someone comes to the door. He stops barking when I tell him it's OK & doesn't just go crazy like our other dogs did. Halloween may be a bit much, though. Luckily, we seldom have many kids. I do usually send a card to my sister & didn't want to miss the Impression Obsession challenge, Happy Haunting! I don't have any IO Halloween stamps or dies, but thought the tree die (DIE006-V) would work. Obvious why the Fancy Pants black glitter paper was on clearance--it sheds! Oh well, does make a sparkly tree & my sis won't mind. I cut a piece from my favorite shimmery Halloween designer paper by KI Memories which I've had for years. The dies are Spellbinders Reverse Wonky Rectangles. I picked up the purple & green in the paper (have to look close to see it) & used the little Teresa Collins stickers to spell BOO. Finished off with some of my little black gems--$1 for a whole sheet! I did have fun making this card, so maybe I'll have to make some others for Halloween this year. Thanks to my friends, Maria & Char, I'm linking up to the first ever challenge at ChouxChoux Paper Art where the prize is a gift certificate for Lawn Fawn. Several snippets were used, so I'll head to The Playground. Always makes my day to read your comments--thank you!
Lovely card Greta! Papi barks when someone at the door too, but he stops when was told to.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I do enjoy seeing kids dressing up for Halloween, are you going to dress Fritz?
Greta, this is such a cute Halloween card. The background paper for your tree is so fun and I love that you layered it on the purple. I had a miniature poodle for 14 years and she used to bark wildly when any kind of truck would go down the street. She liked sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window. She went crazy if the UPS or Fed EX truck actually stopped in our drive. Dogs are so fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat Halloween card Greta! Wonderful background paper and the skelton tree is just spooky enough :)

Very creative & fantastic design for Halloween, the black tree works well against the background. Take care, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteCreative use of the tree to turn into a Halloween card, Greta!
ReplyDeleteI like your understated Halloween card. It is perfect for the occasion!
ReplyDeleteCute, I like cute halloween not scary halloween. I am not that fond of the holiday, but I often make cards.
ReplyDeleteYour tree worked perfectly to create a Halloween card! Love the wonky rectangle shape - I've got to get those dies. So happy that you linked up to my first ever challenge!

ReplyDeleteGreta...just love your card and that patterned paper is amazing. I think I still have some of that as well. I bought that entire collection, just love it. Your fun shape is so perfect for a Halloween card too!
ReplyDeleteI think the tree totally works for a Halloween card! I like the sparkle and the tiny boo sentiment!! Max would sit in his upstairs window seat and watch the kids come and go as they were trick or treating!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous Halloween card, greta!! cutting the tree from the glitter cardstock really changes up the look and creates the perfect spooky tree!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is one amazing tree, Greta! Beautiful fun glittery paper and perfect touch with the gems! Thanks so much for the shout out and so happy to see your card over in the challenge! Take care and have a great weekend!:-)

ReplyDeleteGREAT card!! I love that tree die, and like how you allowed it to escape outside the edges of the card. (I live in the PNW too.) :)
