Hello, stamping friends! Time for a new As You See It challenge and Heather has a spooky color palette for us this week--I love it!
Even though I love it, I did struggle a wee bit with it! I finally went with some really old stamps to highlight these fun new (and almost-new) colors! Here we go:
I started with a base of Secret Sea, and originally I was going to do a top-fold card, but then changed directions, and now it's a side-fold card! I stamped the row of trees and pumpkins in Secret Sea ink; this was actually an old jumbo wheel stamp--remember them? I took it off the wheel and just used it as a stamp in my Stamparatus. The cat on the broom was stamped on a piece of Cloud Cover and fussy cut, then mounted on a Timid Tiger moon, embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder, then sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink. The sentiment is also stamped in Pumpkin Pie.
The final touch was an array of orange glimmer stars, sprinkled across the sky! Here's the inside, using another real oldie:
I love getting my older stamps inky! I hope you'll find some inspiration at the As You See It blog using our colors this week! Check out what the other team members did, then go play along! Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
"Blessed is the one who always trembles before God, but whoever hardens their heart
falls into trouble." Proverbs 28:14

LeAnne, you nailed this challenge! I love seeing your vintage style shine!!
Ohhh I love this, LeAnne! It's always fun to pull out the old stamps and blow the dust off of them! Love that you mixed the old stamps with the new In Colors! So cute & so fun! Thanks for your inspiration today! Have a great day! :)
Such a fun looking Halloween card. That cat and broom really made me smile and the orange stars are great.
Very cute card! I love everything about it! I still have some of the wheel stamps. I pulled a few of the stamps off their wheels & put them stamp cases. I don't have the wheel stamp you used, unfortunately, cuz it's really cute! Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend!
LeAnne, you've created such a dynamic scene with these colours! Everything wants to jump out and scare me ( in the most fun way possible!) I love that you also took the Halloween route with this palette!
I love seeing that witchy kitty again, LeAnne! and all that gray makes me very happy, too!

A great combination of colors and products to make your card spooktacular! I love old stamps!
