The Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS505) is Trick or Treat! I have a really quick card. The background was in my stash, so I was already half way home.

I saw a greeting similar to this & thought hmmm..I can do that! It took a little finagling w/ the letters from a couple of word set dies, but I did it.  Before I die cut the letters, I embossed them w/ a sparkly black powder. I did the same to part of the feather & the mask. The mask is actually a large mustache punch turned upside down, lol. I cut two holes for the eyes & it became a mask. I know..as if the skull wasn’t scary enough, now he’s got a mask. The black grid bg is a leftover from TLC235 Painted Grid where I took drywall mesh, put it on a brayer, rolled it thru white paint then onto the black card stock.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Such a fun site Angie chose for the Inspiration Challenge (IC671)! I was really drawn to THIS colorful Halloween skull image. I had a new (plain) skull image so I stamped it then drew in all of the patterns w/ a multiliner pen & colored them w/ Copics. I added a few more white teeth & some dots w/ a white paint pen. 
The spider web was stamped multiple times on the black using persimmon oxide ink. Love how it gives it a spooky glow. I added the greeting onto an ornate label die cut.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Such a cool, outdoor site Anne chose for the Inspiration Challenge! I was inspired by THIS shirt & I thought it would make a good Halloween project for the idea I wanted to try.
A while ago, I saw a technique using a piece of burlap, stuck to styrofoam & using paint to stamp w/ it. I thought I could use it to make a cool mummy card. I found some wide burlap ribbon, used double sided tape to stick it to styrofoam then brushed it w/ combo of white & antique white paint before stamping it onto black card stock. I did this several times, leaving a spot to put the googlie eyes. The little mummy was stamped, colored & fussy cut before adding to a piece of white c/s. For the ivory piece, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut it, then angled the die to cut the right side into a point.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
