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!

Great multi use of this stamp, Diane! Your card is spoooooky!!
love the ghost. Just do not do halloween. If I did, it would be a must to enclose the ghost.
Diane, I love how you made that cute house look spooky. This is precious.
Great card! I love the topiary trees turned tombstone! You are one cleaver…. uh clever gal!
