Crafts 4 Eternity - Happy Halloween

Hello friends - hope you have had a GREAT week! Ours has been...interesting! And not necessarily in a positive manner, but that's okay, the weekend is JUST around the corner! :D

This week at Crafts 4 Eternity we are celebrating with Halloween themed cards - I absolutely adore autumn, pumpkins, scarecrows, corn mazes, etc.! Hope you will join us with your Halloween themed cards and you have the chance to win 3 free digital images from Crafts 4 Eternity! Great images!!

I used a pumpkin from Repeat Impressions; stamped it once in the middle, masked it off and stamped it again on either side. I then colored the image with colored pencils & odorless mineral spirits. I tried channeling the incredible Kathy Racoosin - she does AMAZING things with her white gel pen. Me? Eh, not so much; it is NEVER EVER as smooth as hers...or as cool looking! :( In fact, it was just ugly, so I pulled out the white dimensional enamel to finish out the dots...



Inside
I traced around the Verve Visual die I used for the main panel and hand cut the same shape from PTI's Terracotta Tile; sponged on some Rusty Hinge Distress Ink, added a couple flags and mounted everything with dimensionals. The layout is Deconstructed Sketch #123 (DS123). Some fun Halloween paper from MME and some self-made enamel dots finish it off.

TFL; have a great weekend!!

Hugs,
