Is it sad that I bought a bag of candy corn JUST so I could use it in my pics of my Halloween cards??
LOL
I honestly don't even really LIKE candy corn - I can have one piece and that's it (one of the rare types of candy I can keep around without eating it LOL!!). It's just too sweet. I love the look of it tho.
Plus keeping it in my little stamping studio and away from my kids is a good thing. THEY don't think it's too sweet (in fact they each had several when I first brought the bag home) so I try and limit their intake b/c otherwise they get a total sugar-high *wink*
Anywho:
This witchybella image is another one I colored last year (one of the nice things about Halloween - the colors stay the same and I don't have to worry about trying to match papers or anything later on - so even after a year the coloring I did is still good!) with my Koh-i-noor colored pencils and OMS.
I used one of my petite oval nesties to cut the image out then left the die in place and sponged a little lime green chalk ink around the edges.
And of course I had to bling it up a bit with some stickles :o)
mmmmmmm Candy Corn......LOL
All the patterned paper is from Basic Grey's Eerie collection (again got that last year). I LOVE LOVE LOVE these papers for Halloween! I didn't even know I still had them 'till I pulled out my stash of H'ween papers and embellishments that I've had sitting since last year and came across this collection. Needless to say I've been having fun with it!
The sentiment on the front of the card is from my Autumn Sentiments set.
The ribbon is May Arts and the black spiderwebs were done with the Martha Stewart punch I got not too long ago (which FYI you have to set on a table and put your weight into it when punching it to get it to punch through heavier-weight cardstock (which is what I used here) - but it works!!). I don't know WHY I didn't order the large spider punch at the same time - kicking myself for that now!! :o(
On the inside of the card I added more patterned paper, die cut some ovals and scalloped ovals then added another sentiment from the Autumn Sentiments set and that was it!
