It may be
November but I’m still making Hallowe’en cards, no surprises there, happens
every year! For this one I took
inspiration from the current board over at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge, using the
bottom row. My stripes come from the
Hallowe’en Deco Sheets by Tim Holtz, I heat embossed both the die cut scarecrow
and the Make it Crafty chippies I used for embellies and I have lots of black
on my card.
I had a lot of
fun making the various layers of this card, I was going to go with a darker
theme but in the end the card pulled me toward a more friendly Hallowe’en
style. Over at As You Like It they want
to know if you prefer Christmas or non-Christmas cards and for me it is
definitely the latter. My absolute
favourite season is Hallowe’en, even if I am always late with my cards. I have to make a gazillion Christmas ones so
tend to do them in a production style process with lots of the same design,
which is probably why I don’t enjoy making them much at all.
Being so late
with this card I am also just under the wire to enter the current Hallowe’en challenge
at Always Fun.
