NOVEMBER TWO OLD BATS HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE

Just look at these great ghost and pumpkin fall leaves included in our new November mood board! How can anyone resist playing with that idea?





I couldn't resist! I chose to die cut some PTI fall leaves from ghost-printed paper and coordinating dotted papers, also over-stamping the veins with PTI's coordinating stamp. I started this card with an existing printed Halloween 12x12 paper that I trimmed to a folded 5x7 card and white heat-embossed the sentiment from Unity Stamps #Uk-1400A "Toil and Trouble" (new to me, and expect more from this stamp set as the new Halloween year progresses). After stamping the sentiment, I fussy cut a couple of ghosts from the same ghost-printed stock and glued them to the windows.

The final step was to attach the leaves to the card face - the orange one is attached with dimensional foam. I had a purple A7 envelope in my stash that I lined with the orange ghost paper.

Since Halloween was just yesterday, I'm sure you all still have your Halloween supplies out (in my case they are spread throughout my craft room year-round), so it will be simple to produce yet another Halloween card. Remember that this is a year-round challenge, so we are now starting a new Halloween year, soon to be 2025!
