Happy Halloween

Fall is in the air and leaves are drifting down from the trees in my backyard. Soon Halloween will be upon us. I've been making cards for my grandchildren, and found this skeleton to use. I tried stamping it in white on black using craft ink, but that didn't work well because the image looked muddy. So, I resorted to using Staz-on black ink; it seems to create a darker image. Here are the other supplies I used:
  • Designer Series Paper--Cast a Spell
  • Ribbon- Pumpkin Pie Striped
  • Card Stock--Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie
  • Ink--Staz-On Black
--Lissie

It's Time To Cast A Spell

I'm not much for Halloween these days, but I have fond memories of trick or treating when I was a child, and I know my grandchildren love it, too. So, I began to work on cards for the fall and this is the first of my Halloween cards, ones I will send to my sweeties. Using ink in the lid of my stamp pad, I watercolored the image. Here are the supplies I used:

Stamp Sets: Greeting Card Kids and Scary Skeleton
Designer Series Paper: Cast A Spell
Inks: Old Olive, Black, Rich Razzleberry, Cajun Craze, Sahara Sand, and Pumpkin Pie
Rickrack: Ribbon Originals--"Pigtails" in Pumpkin Pie
Card Stock: Old Olive and Perfect Plum
