Happy Jack

Mornin' y'all!  We spent all of last week road trippin' through Colorado, Utah, and Arizona and got home on Saturday afternoon.  I haven't gone through the pictures yet (or even downloaded them onto the computer) but I will for sure share a few later this week.

For now, I did get in the warcraft room yesterday to make something:


This idea popped in my head when I saw last week's Freshly Made Sketch:


And of COURSE I had to use the classic Halloween duo at the Color Hues Challenge:


I did add some Crumb Cake for the pumpkin stem but that's a neutral so it's allowed.  I got Carved & Candlelit very early on in my stamping career and I still love to trot it out at least once every year, it might be over 20 years old but it's still great.

Okay, for the first time since July I'm going to try to do a workout since I think we finally got most of my fatigue issues mitigated (perimenopause sucks, y'all).  Wish me luck!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Carved & Candlelit, Fright Night
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake
Paper:  Pumpkin Pie, Basic White, Magic In This Night DSP
Accessories:  Fright Night dies, Dimensionals

That pumpkin face is so cheery and I love the background paper - the shading across the panel really brings the bats to life. A great card with just two colours!

He truly is a Happy Jack and looks so cute on your great Halloween card, Christy! The bat background is amazing. No wonder you bring this set out every year. Thanks so much for playing at Color Hues!
