Halloween witches card

OMG ! Only 5 days before Halloween and I haven't show you a card yet ! No way ! Let me show you one right away !

While tidying up my scraproom, I found an old Halloween paper pad, Haunted Hallow by teresa Collins, that I used a lot in my previous Halloween project. I still loved it very much I decided to create a card with it (again).

Take a look at these previous card I made in October 2013 and September 2013. The same year, I made another one with a manga-like stamp.
Last year, I made a tag for the Tim Holtz challenge with this very same paper pad !

Maybe it's time for me to buy a new Halloween paper pad. Or maybe it's too late anyway and I just have to wait until next year...

Thanks for stopping by today, hope to see you soon for another project ! And have fun this week end !

Card with layout's leftovers

Good morning (or afternoon, or night) !

Do you remember the layout I blogged about earlier this week ? I called it de-light-ed, and it was made with tiny inked squares... 

I had bits left from this design, so I decided to make a card in the same spirit :

And as I was into leftovers, I use two old pieces of patterned paper to create the background and the sentiment. Two stamps with brown ink, a white gel pen, and I was done !

As in the layout, the squares were inked with Art Anthology products (see my previous post).
Stamps by Heidi Swapp and Spellbinders. Papers are so old, I think it's Prima.

Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your day and see you soon !
