On my way home from Salado on Sunday, I stopped at the Michael's store in Waco to see if they had a few items I'm wanting for Christmas projects. I didn't find what I was looking for, but I did notice a cute little halloween stamp set (in their Recollections line) on sale for just a few dollars. It hopped right into my basket! Lucky me!
Last night I finished up three cards using the cute little witchy-woo and pumpkin from the set. There is also a cute kiddo dressed up as a pumpkin, a dracula, and some little odds and ends (ghost, pumpkin, skull, sentiments, bat, etc).
The art very much reminds me of some retired Stampin Up sets I have.
I couldn't decide on a color for her dress, so I just kept coloring. I used a combination of Touch Twin markers and Copic markers to color the images.
I ended up with three finished images, and added some glitter for lots of holiday cheer. All of the paper is from the My Mind's Eye 6x6 pad of designer paper called Mischievous.
I like this gal, in her pretty purple dress. I don't typically "do" purple, so this one kind of surprised me. I do think of purple as a halloween color, though. It just seems kind of "witchy" to me. *grin*
I really don't "need" three more halloween cards -- I guess I should find something to do with them...
I love this layout! Of course that witch is adorable and your pp combo's are perfect! I am totally stealing this idea, lol!!
ps...wouldn't be the first time :)

She looks great in any color, and I love the sparkle on each dress! Makes them look magical. Great background papers too! I finally noticed the spider tassel on her witch hat--so cute!

I was just at Michaels and missed this stamp and it's so cute! Darn. I won't be going back for at least two weeks and I know she will be gone by then. I love what you did with her.
BTW, I sure envy your visit to the stamp shop that you made the video of! We haven't had one like that in my area for over 10 years now. Thanks for sharing, Jamie

I really like the layout. It looks like you stamped on the back of an envelope. Very clever!
:)
Now make a "rain dance" card. :)

I see you already have lots of volunteers to take them off your hands! Too adorable. I worked on Halloween cards last night. Not something I usually make. But I too, found some cute digitals and rubber that I could not resist *wink* Have a wonderful Wednesday, Hugs....

These are so cute Anna!! I think I might check my Michael's out in the morning and maybe I can pick up this set. It is really similar to some of the retired SU! sets.
