Halloween Greetings


Halloween is around the corner, with a night full of spooks and goblins.  Check out this cutie, sneaking through the woods.



I used one of the upcoming Just For Fun images and heat embossed it in white on dark blue cardstock.  The image was stamped again in black, colored with colored pencils, and fussy cut.  This was layered on top of the 1st image, leaving a spooky white outline around the image.  The Cluster of Stalks from Just For Fun was stamped in black on top of it.



The Halloween Greetings sentiment (JFF's Sentiments 1 Unmounted Sheet) was heat embossed at the top and black ink sponged around the outer edges.  This card front was layered on orange, black, and white.

Have a fun Halloween and be safe!

Batty Halloween



The October Challenge at the Just For Fun Blog is Halloween.  I created these two Halloween Cards using the same three Just For Fun images with just a slight difference.  The little bats are part of the upcoming Just For Fun release.







Both cards used the same decorative/colored layers.  The colorful center was created by sponging Distress Inks on white cardstock.  The Doodle Circle was stamped over the light center to create the moon.  I couldn’t decide where I wanted the little bats, in front of the moon or behind the moon.  I decided to try it both ways and share the results with you.  Then I stamped the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Sentiments 1 Unmounted Sheet.





Which look do you like best?

Just For Fun October Challenge




Though it still doesn’t feel much like Fall where I live, October is here and hopefully the cooler weather will catch on soon.  It is time for a new challenge at the Just For Fun Blog and October brings thoughts of ghosts and goblins so the new challenge is “Halloween.





Just For Fun Rubberstamps has some adorable new Halloween stamps in their upcoming release.  I used three of these for this challenge theme. 



The three square images were colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut, and layered on orange and crème polka dot. 



The images were then centered on additional coordinating Halloween designer cardstock.  Small black spiders were die cut and added.

Check out some ideas from my fellow designers and get all the challenge details on the JFF Blog.
