Spooky!

I have my first Hallowe'en card of the year for you today...using some stamps from a couple of Penny Black sets ('Spooky' and 'be very scared!'). The images were coloured using watercolour pencils, then cut out using Nesties. The embossed spider's web is a Tim Holtz texture fade, and I used my EK Success 'Scalloped Diamonds' punch for the border along the bottom. 


Challenges for this card:
  • Drunken Stampers - Old Loves Die Hard (I've had all the items used on this card for at least a year)
  • Hiding in my Craft Room - Hallowe'en
  • Less Is More - Any 3 Challenges (15: Embossing, 23: Something with Legs, 24: Circles...but also fits 55: Punches or Die Cuts, 67: Use 3 Stamps, 69: Not a Square, 76: Three)
  • Lollipop - Two Different Punches/Dies)
  • Simon Says Stamp - Emboss It
