Happy Halloween

Pumpkins Three

These fabulous Pumpkins are from Just Inklined and are available here.

Very easy card to make, the cobweb is from Greeting Card Factory, the spider is one of hundreds I have stashed away in a little box, and the computer generated sentiment is also from GCF and the font funnily enough is called Halloween!! lol

 Coloured as usual with Promarkers: Burnt Orange, Pumpkin, Gold, Sunflower, Apple and Meadow Green. 

Hope you all have a great weekend whatever you're doing :) xx 

 

James - Trick or Treat

Here's James from Just Inklined all dressed up and ready to go Trick or Treating.
I hope he comes to our house this year, because every year I buy hundreds of sweets and choccies and nobody ever comes knocking on our door and we end up eating them all ourselves!!
James can be found here.

The backing paper is from Donna at Bearly Mine Designs and a Stampin' Up border punch was used on the strip of white card.

Promarkers used on James are:
Hat, Stick and Shoes: Ice Grey 1, 3 and 5
Pumpkin, Moon and Stars: Amber, Pumpkin and Burnt Orange
Clothes: Orchid and Purple
Skin: Blush, Oatmeal and Apricot

Now I don't normally enter challenges but came across loads of sites with "Halloween" as the theme so I thought why not enter James.

Spoonful of Sugar - Boo
Creative Inspirations - Spooky
Sisterhood of Crafters - Halloween
Fab n' Funky - Things that go bump in the night

Hard to believe but I've never, ever made a Halloween card in all the four years I've been cardmaking!! Never been asked to do one so never bothered .. but darling daughter Samantha asked for one this year so couldn't wait to make one!!!
Used a Pumpkin and Aubergine sticker (from the Daisy & Dandelion range), oval and labels nesties, SU oval punches, computer generated sentiment and finished it all off with the usual ribbon and pearls.
Hope you all have a great weekend xx
