simple…


Love me some simple cards!
The base card is orange, purple and orange card stocks.
The main white. card stock panel was stamped with the image and sentiment from Tim Holtz “Jack O’ Lantern”.
On more orange card stock I stamped the pumpkin again and die cut it using the coordinating die and glued it to the card front.


ghostie…


Picked out the colors I could see for this challenge.
The base card is white card stock with a layer of black card stock.
The blue background is water color paper with Distress ink water colored on it.
With red card stock and Tim Holtz “brickwork” embossing folder I created the wall and distressed it with Distress ink.
On white card stock I stamped the ghost from Tim Holtz “Halloween Doodles” and the cat from a Tim Holtz Halloween set.
I colored the cat’s eyes, trimmed them out and glued them to the card front.
To finish I stamped the sentiment from the same set as the cat.

batty…


A week ago I made a card with a Distress background and Tim Holtz bat die but only used the background for the card.
I had all these light colored bats leftover.
Then this challenge came up and I thought it might be fun to make a pastel Halloween card!
The base card is pink card stock with a layer of white card stock.
I die cut a circle from the orange card stock layer to make a moon and glued on the bats.
The sentiment if from Unity Stamp Co.

thanks…


These leaves are made with a background that I never thought I would use.
On kraft card stock I had made a Distress Oxide background and stamped it with a leaf stamp.
But the stamp didn’t stamp right or fully so I tossed the piece in a bin.
I was about to toss it when this challenge came up!
I took the background and cut three leaves using Tim Holtz “Leaf Fragments” dies then embossed them with the A5 leaf embossing folder.
I added a little brown ink and there you go.
These I added to a kraft card stock base card and stamped the card with a sentiment from Verve Stamps.

feathers…


Had not planned on doing this challenge, then I was looking through my 12 x12 papers and found this feather paper and couldn’t resist!
The base card is white card stock with a strip of black card stock.
Using a strip of the patterned paper and the hello die, unknown company, I cut it out and layered it onto the second half of the die set cut from black card stock and layered it onto the feather strip on the card.
