I like making Halloween cards
with this adorable ghost digi named Boo Loves Scary Larry from Sweet November
Stamps, especially when paired with a night sky digital image of the “Witches
Broom Nebula”! I wanted little Boo to be transparent, so traced him onto a
scrap of vellum (added a bit of shading and highlighting to Boo with a marker
and white gel pen), then printed off a copy of just Scary Larry which I
colored, fussy-cut and tucked into Boos sweet little arms!
I used a T-shirt pattern
that I created for an A2 sized card for this card, and attached a copy of the
pattern here! The “BOO!” sentiment on the front of the card was hand sketched
and created from paper scraps.
I’m entering this card into several
challenges including
Outlawz:
Tuesday Color Challenge (my card feature three of the five color options- Navy Blue, orange and blue, and fits into the
optional twist of Make it Halloween), and The Paper Shelter:
Make it Sparkle (the background of my card is awash with sparkly stars!)

A few years ago I
discovered a great group on FB named Build
Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers {BYSHC}. They offer monthly Christmas-themed sketch
challenges which I’ve regularly entered ever since! Not only does the challenge help me use up
lots of bits and pieces of paper and embellishments from my stash, but it also provides a monthly Sketch to provide inspiration.
This card features a wood mount stamp
from Hero Arts, Mini Santa. It didn’t require much coloring. Just a few markers and a white gel pen added bits of color and the texture of thick curls to the little guy's beard! I wanted to add a Holiday embellishment to the inside sentiment, and this
Santa snow globe sticker from Hobby Lobby is the perfect fit!

This is the third month
that I participated in Moondrea Designs Progressive FB challenge, and this
months digi has a strong Halloween vibe. Like the first
card in this posting, the “BOO!” on
the front of the card was hand sketched and cut from black paper scraps. The inside of the card features a free Halloween subway sentiment, a few
digi embellishments, and vellum ghosts created with a freebie from Patties
Creations Challenge.
I’m entering this card
into several challenges including Cupcake
Inspirations: Color Challenge (my card features all three of the colors, purple-
card base, black -“Boo”, and Lime-hair highlights/streaks), Inspiration Station: Inspiration Photo
(my card was inspired by the colors and holiday), and Park
Hopping-My Happy Place (this is one of my favorite challenges. It’s introduced
me to many places that are now on my bucket list, the host is talented, generous, and all-around sweet! My card was inspired by the Halloween theme as it
features witches... and potions... and spells... Oh My!)
