Good morning all, I am rushing a bit to get this posted. I have had it finished since Sunday but, I just could not find the time to sit here. This is my first Halloween piece and it is a stair step card, my first. The haunted house is paper pieced from a pattern that I found at Scrapbook, etc last year. The bats and cats and spiders were bought at michaels for $.99 a package. the pumpkins are from a stamp by Stampalicious. The words are from my stash of scrapbook stickers. The ghost and pumkins are a digi image that I got as a freebie from Copic Buzz when I first started blogging. The fence on the second tier is a Magnolia stamp (I think) and then there is Tilda. She was a gift from a friend. But, you know where my favorite place to by Magnolia stamps is the
Magnolia-licious Online store where Diana Crick is the owner and she has the best customer service. Go by and see her. Tilda was colored with copics and as you can see, I really had fun with the purples. The dress the hat were colored with V12, V15, V17, V09 AND RV00. The skin was done with E00, E11, E13. The broom was done with E53 and chocolate spica glitter pen. The ghost and pumpkin were colored last year and I really don't remember which colors I used. The fence was colored with E25, W5 and W7. The grass was done with G24 and G28. The pumpkins on the front step were colored with Y17, Y38, YR15, YR09, E15, G21, G07. The bling is from my stash . Since my promise has been to use up my scraps, all of the paper came from the scrap file, even the card base. I make a lot of 6x6 cards and always have have of a 12x12 paper left over. That size is a scrap file all by itself. Well, since you know me so well, you know that there are a few challenges that this will be entered into. I got the instructions from
Split Coast Stampers.
So what do you think. I would love to hear from you. My challenges are as follows.
I think some of my inspiration came from this photo. I just love this image. The purple tones going throughout it.
Tuesday Taggers Autumn (I think a lot of my colors are autumn, Halloween is surely autumn, pumpkins are autumn, so I think I should qualify) The sponsor over at Tuesday Taggers is
The Craft Barn go on over and check them out. I plan to soon.
Ok, I think that is all for now. See you again soon....
STUNNING!!!! so amazing..
