More Halloween!

Happy wet, wet Saturday...at least in my neck of the woods!  They are calling it "the river in the sky" and it is definitely flowing down.  This means plenty of crafty time for me...yay!

The first card is for Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and I'm hoping it will work for the Shopping our Stash #325 - The Walking Dead.  I don't have any zombie type stamps and it can't walk but it does celebrate the dead.  A stretch I know, but I needed a card for an avid fan of the holiday anyway!


I used a Hero Arts black notecard and stamped the MFT Primitive Chevron background stamp in VersaMark for the tone-on-tone card base.  The sugar skull was a free mask digi from Pinterest that I enhanced with Prismacolor pencils, Wink of Stella, and white gel pen.  

The second card is also for Halloween and I think it's the last one I have to make.  I started with the latest Freshly Made Sketch:



On a Neenah Solar White card base, I added a stitched circle (MFT) inked up with Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber and spritzed with Sheer Shimmer.  The branch die cut is from Savvy Stamps.  The sentiment and spooky owl are from Taylored Expressions Peek-a-Boo Halloween stamp set.  I used a combination of Copics and Prismacolor pencils to color the owl then glued on some Doodlebug Designs eyeballs.  That wasn't the plan but when I stuck my fingers in the eyeballs to test the Glossy Accents and they weren't quite dry...you know the rest!

Anyhoo, I hope you're having a fantastic weekend and thanks for visiting!
