Spooky house!

 

It's a start on Halloween!  I've had these generic, no-name dies in my stash for a few years now and finally broke them out! I think the glue behind the vellum ghosts adds to the creepy factor, don't you?

The "BOO"s were cut with Lawn Fawn letter dies.

BOO!

Today's simple and funny card is inspired by Vicki Papaioannou. Her's are more colorful, though.

I used old patterend paper from my stash, and tore it into strips. I dirtied up the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink and glued them to a black panel, leaving the gaps. The eyes are from Doodlebug's Erie Eyes Sprinkle collection.  I finished it off with a sentiment created with Lawn Fawn's Violetta's ABCs.

The inside is finished with 2 sentiments from My Favorite Things' Witch Way is the Candy?

Halloween Hello

Hello all!  Here's just a little card using the bat from My Favorite Things' "Witch Way Is the Candy" set. I haven't used the townscape from Sizzix in years. The houses are still funny to me.

The oval panel behind the bats has been lightly brushed with Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. The bats were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.

And to think, before I started making cards I didn't know Halloween was a card-giving occasion. Silly me.

Halloween candy? Witch way?

OK, it may be hard to believe, but I got this set for the frog, and the pumpkins. So, the first card I made with the set was with the cat and the little girl. Go figure.

The witch, pumpkin, and cat are from My Favorite Things' "Witch Way is the Candy?" set. I colored them with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers, and cut them with my Brother Scan and Cut. (Which needs a new blade. I ended up "helping" the cuts with my scissors.) I had previously embossed the spider web and had applied Distress Oxide Ink.

See those googly eyes on the cat? That is totally covering up where I smeared the enhanced eye dot with the black glaze pen. He had golden eyes before I wrecked them.

Edited to add: This card was featured on the weekly "You've Been Spotted" feature on the My Favorite Things Card challenge website. 

I'm so thrilled!
