a Halloween challenge

Hello!  I’ve been busy this week getting ready for another upcoming gathering, so I haven’t had a chance to post much lately.  Sorry! 

I wanted to pop in today, though, to remind you that it’s time for another challenge at Stampavie!  You can check out the details here.  I hope you can play along and try to win another great prize! 

The new challenge today is to make a Halloween card.  This one is really a challenge since it requires you to think outside the box a bit, but I know you can do it! 

This is what I came up with.  I used the oh-so-cute Helz Cuppleditch Home Sweet Home image.  I love that sweet house and almost hated to make it ummm…not-so-sweet!  LOL.  

The background was created first with a brayer and a spectrum inkpad.  Then I colored the house in shades of gray.  The heart window on the door was turned into a pumpkin decoration and the topiary trees were cut off, leaving only the pots which I turned into tombstones! 

The diecuts are from the Cuttlebug Halloween die and the words are from my Ollie and Griselda set.  

Here’s a closeup of the image that was altered. 

I hope you have a great start to your week….thanks for stopping by!
