The Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS557) is a happy Halloween theme using some purple. I think purple is a perfect color to go on Halloween cards.
For my Halloween card today. I’m using one of my fave images, this Happy Pumpkin, but I always call him Jack. I love his jaunty hat & big grin. After I colored him & die cut him I added a narrow purple layer. The background was embossed w/ 2 different folders. I wish you could see it in person..it is SOOOO sparkly. I went over all the high points w/ a Versamark then heat embossed them w/ a black sparkly powder. I stamped just part of a large greeting & embossed it as well. Then I used a small rounded oval die to cut it.
Here’s the inside & the Copic colors I used.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC725) this week, we’re headed to a place called One Coast & I chose THIS for my inspiration.
For my card, I knew I wanted a top layer so that only a portion of the pumpkin bg so I cut the black layer first & also cut the circle window out of it. Then I stamped the fun pumpkin bg & colored w/ Copics. Now I didn’t color all of it, just the parts that would show. Hey, I’m not a complete idiot (some parts are missing, lol). The spider webs were stamped onto the black w/ the Distress Oxide ink & the greeting was die cut & double stacked a little off.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC721), we have Flags on a Stick. They have some really fun, really nice flags & for my card, I was inspired by THIS Halloween flag. I thought the decorated birdhouses were really cute.
For my Halloween card, I die cut the houses & ghosts out of white, the tree, crows & fence out of black & the tiny pumpkin out of orange. To me it seemed simpler to cut the houses in white & color them instead of cutting a bunch out of different colored paper. The die I used for the birdhouses is actually one multilevel roofline spooky house. I cut it out twice then cut apart the house to make my 3 birdhouses. On the yellow one, I colored the stars thru a stencil. I used a 3/8″ circle punch for the holes, colored them black & put them back in. Then I just put all the pieces together on a white front where I had already stamped the greeting frame.
Here are the Copics (& 1 orange Tombow) I used. This may be the first time I’ve used that black Copic!
