I got paired up with the ultra talented Pia Overgaard (go see her blog- she is amazing) and after chatting a bit we decided to use the new "Frightful" set from Hero Arts. If you know me at all you know I'm crazy for Halloween -it's my favorite holiday of the whole year and I've been itching to get making some cards!
We each made 2 cards for this first round of pairing up. I went with the bold traditional Halloween colors and just couldn't resist using the cute ghost. I also used my favorite dotted paper that was a free digi download I found years ago (buy have since lost the link to it- bohooo) and my Cuttlebug spider web embossing folder. I decided to make the ghost look a bit silly and added the googlie eyes to him and I popped up the ghost on some dimensionals. Sponged some dusty concord distress inks behind the image and the edges of it as well and added some wide ric rack.
For my second card I used the cute ghost again (love it) and just stamped the sentiments randomly all over my base. I got out the white gel pen for a bit of contrast on the black scalloped circle and used some fun lime green ribbon and a plastic spider dangling off the button. The spider is from an old set of confetti left over from last years Halloween party.
This pairing up has been so fun and intersting- hope you like our cards! Pia and I will do a second round of cards later this month......wonder what we will decide on for that one. Don't forget to go visit Pia's blog and see what she created- I can't wait to see myself.
Our weather here in Wiscinsin has gotten quite cool this week- I think fall might actually be starting- yeah!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a great holiday weekend!
Inky hugs, Anne
