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.

This card is for the Splitcoast Ways to Use It (WT752) & also Angie’s Dare to Get Dirty Challenge. For all the details go to the Dare to Get Dirty Forum ..but you’ll need to be a Fan Club member (click the blue link to find out how).
For the Ways to Use It, the challenge is to have some kind of special edge treatment. Mine was made by using a border punch on a couple of brown strips & tucking those under 2 edges. After stamping & coloring the pumpkins & sign post I added the greeting & a few floating leaves to complete the scene. Pretty simple!
Here’s the inside & below it are the Copic I used.
