Happy Halloween, y'all! I'm wearing a super cute shirt featuring Gretchen the mini horse with a witch hat on and it's bright orange :) and my Stitch Halloween jammy pants and socks so I am appropriately festive. I'm glad that my costume for tonight is nice and toasty--we got quite a bit of snow yesterday! Like, a couple of inches! Now it's bright and sunny out and the high is in the 50s, so the snow might be gone by the time trick-or-treating starts, but this is the first time I've ever experienced snow on Halloween. Ha! I put all our Halloween candy in a big bag up by the front door where hopefully I will not be snacking on it all day long. We've got a lot of kids in the neighborhood so that bag of candy weighs probably 20 pounds...I wanted to be prepared.
You know I couldn't resist making just one more Halloween card this year.
Once again I'm reaching back in the retired archives for a cool Halloween stamp set. I'd never used this particular image stamp before, what would you call it, anyway? It's From the Crypt, and there's a creepy skull that I haven't used too (next year). I added Wink of Stella to the bat's wings for some sparkle but you can't see it in the photograph, and I thought the greeting from Fancy Flexible Phrases was appropriate for the ornate bat design.
I started with the Atlantic Hearts sketch and made it a little more CAS:
I like how the torn edges on the top and bottom add a bit more detail without making the card front feel too busy. I was trying to make it more CAS so I could still enter at Addicted to CAS:
And sadly, that is most likely my final Halloween card for this year. But I am plotting an entire parade of Halloween cards for next year, I love making them. In the meantime, I'll still make some fall cards and Christmas is going to start creeping in here soon. But for now I am enjoying the last bit of Halloween joy.
Cheers, y'all!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: From the Crypt, Fancy Flexible Phrases
