I don't make a lot of Halloween cards, but remembered the cute PRS Beware Stamp Set. I used the Halloween/Orange/Embossing line of my friend, Betty's
TTTC182 board.
First I black embossed Hero Arts Bare Branched Tree on a kraft panel. Then I stamped the owl & spider images in black & the jack-o-lantern in PTI Orange Zest. I used old circle dies & at the last minute decided to mount them off center, just for fun. The sentiment from the same set was black embossed & I used foam tape to attach the jack-o-lantern.
There's a bit of Stickles on each image & I finished off with black enamel dots. I'm also entering
Snippets Playground as the circles & sentiment layers are all from scraps.
Love that PFS has a
WCMD Anything Goes challenge. I made a masculine birthday card using the PFS Wintry Forest stencil set.
Heather Hoffman's card inspired me to start with colored cardstock. I really like the result, especially with this light, green textured one. The inks are Altenew Limeade, Lime & Fresh Leaf. Fun to use one of the foiled sentiment strips my friend,
Vikki gave me. I didn't want white, so brushed on 2 of the green inks. I used light molding paste for the snowy layer & attached the panel to a gold metallic mat.

The HA Tree makes a lovely backdrop to your Halloween elements Greta.

That tree all by itself is spooky. Adding the cute pictures made it not scary and more fun. I like the idea of creating your scene on colored c/s. It made a pretty card and I love the dimension you got using softer colors in the background. I got the second panel yesterday. You are so funny, I never noticed it until you pointed it out! Thank you for sending it.
