Spooktacular Monster Bash

It's the witching hour, y'all!  Last year I lamented how I didn't get to share nearly enough Halloween cards, and I love Halloween cards so I had to think of a way to fix that : )  The answer:  a month-long Hex-Travaganza of Halloween goodness!  Every night at midnight for the month of October, I will be sharing a Halloween card with lots of stamp sets and Halloween papers from years past.

We're kicking off the Hex-Travaganza with a monster bash!

Our friendly spooks here are all cut out of the Spooktacular Bash DSP so the only stamping is the greeting on the headstone-shaped die.  I started making cards for this last December (which is good because it means that last week's drama queen appendix won't affect the Hex-Travaganza) and I frequently start with the CASE-ing Tuesday Sketches as a jumping off point.  Here's the sketch I used for this card:

And the card in the annual catalog that the sketch is based on:

I am looking forward to sharing lots more Halloween goodness this month, this might just be my favorite type of card to make!

Keep it spooky, y'all!
