Yes, yes I know it's not Friday any longer... BUT, I've been busy with all kinds of fun things! And actually, I did get this card at least started yesterday, but didn't get to finish it until earlier today.
This week's Blogger's Challenge was to use Orange & Black. I chose a couple of my Rosie's Roadshow stamps and created this festive scene. Instead of "happy halloween", I think this card should say "Tip Toe Through the Pumpkins". Ah well... next time.
The paper I used on the background of this card is from a Junkitz line from last fall. I liked this paper so much that this is the only small piece I had left! I stamped the pumpkins and duck on white cardstock and painted them with a waterbrush and re-inkers. The sentiment is by Memory Box. I stamped it on white cardstock and punched it out with one of my Uchida Scalloped Rectangles. I slid it WAY up under the image, to hide most of the punch shape.
If you haven't done it already, be sure to check out the other Blogger's Challenge Friday blogs as well! You're SURE to find lots of amazing orange and black projects...maybe even some spooooky ones!
It's getting close to pumpkin carving time! Yahoo!
What talent!! This card is perfect in every way!

Love the background paper, it almost looks like a background stamp that you used with white ink.
Happy Birthday!

That card is SUPER cute!!
So...uhhh, were you doing "birthday" stuff today? You know, in preparation for tomorrow? hmmm? Fess up girlfriend, you were early birthday shopping AGAIN weren't you? LOLOL
Oh, I meant to tell you this the other day but uh, I think I need Eddie. Yah, I am just going to come pick him up and take him home with me. My babies, Molly & Bailey told me that they NEED him so who am I to tell them "no?" Anywho, if you could just have him all wrapped up for me with a big bow by next weekend that would be great! Thanks Anna! You are such a pal!! :)
See ya tomorrow!! Well, in cyberspace that is.... LOLOL
