BOO to you, too!!

I guess I'm on a Halloween kick ~~ can't seem to stop making cards for this holiday for which I had never sent cards before I started stamping!! I got this adorable Penny Black stamp at my LSS a couple of weeks ago. They had a rummage sale, & I brought stuff to sell. Instead of cash, they give store credit. Works for me!! I bought this stamp & some paper & some ribbon & didn't have to pay a dime!! That's the kind of shopping I like!!


This card is roughly 5.5" X 5.5" ~~ I really do better with square cards ~~ more space to fill with "stuff". The orange designer paper is from Karen Foster, & the striped is from Reminisce which I had in my stash from last year. The "Boo" is from a 2/$1 set from Michael's from last year? The year before? Heck, I have so many of their cheapie stamps I forget! I used my little oval Nesties to cut & matte it, then hung it from the gobs of black ribbon. Yes, I probably should have mixed a little orange ribbon in with it, but I thought all black would look cool. Instead, it looks like a big black blob!

I colored the image with Prisma pencils & Gamsol. I stamped the image 3 times ~~ I cut the costume & hat out & mounted those, then cut the pumpkin yet again & mounted that on top. Lots of dimension!!


Here's the inside ~~ albeit a little blurry. I think my camera doesn't like all that white space. My camera is rather picky, isn't it?? I think next time I'll try adding some ribbon or brads on the table next to the card ~~ maybe it will help it focus a little better. I never claimed to be a good photographer!!!


I'm off to get my son from school & take him to the ortho ~~ he's getting his appliance out today! The bad news is that he gets braces in two weeks. He's really bummed about that, but he doesn't realize that kids have it good nowadays. Back in my day, we got full braces for at least a year, sometimes 2. He's getting braces just on the front, for 6 months. And can you believe they have *colored* braces now?? That's just crazy!! In my day kids tried to hide their braces by not smiling, lol. Now they show them off in all kinds of colors!!

Have a great Tuesday!!
