Happy gray Monday, peeps! Tonight is Christmas card stamp camp, so this will be quick, as was my card! The Inspire.Create challenge is to CASE the designer with this card:
What a fun sketch! I have several Halloween stamps that I like to use at least once during the season, and this little vintage cat on a broom is one of them:
The papers were a gift from one of my stamping girls; I looked through several catalogs and I honestly cannot remember these papers from SU but I am sure they are! My eyes must be really getting bad because I thought for sure there was some gray in them, hence the Basic Gray base, but obviously, the dots are Old Olive.....but hopefully it still looks okay! I stamped the cat on Basic Beige and partially cut out the broom, then used a Stitched Shape circle die to cut it out:
I lightly stamped the grunge image from the retired Label Me Bold to give him a spooky background! The sentiment is an old stamp from Recollections, diecut with a banner die and matted with another Basic Gray banner and some old enamel dots:
On the inside, some more grunge and a sentiment from the retired Little Delights:
Such a fun and easy card to make! And speaking of fun cards, my friend Beth sent me this one; the front is a bookmark that can be removed! So cute:
Thanks, Beth! And here are a couple more pictures from the fair; I didn't get many but I always like to see the giant pumpkins! I wonder how they transported them?
Charlie Brown would be proud of both of these "great pumpkins"!! Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
