Good morning! I hope my Canadian friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We had a gorgeous long weekend for the Columbus Day holiday here in the U.S., which fell on my son's birthday this year. But it's back to work today, and I'll be confused about what day it is for the rest of the week!
I did manage to remember that today is Tuesday, which means a new ColourQ challenge! I think I would carry a backpack every day if I could get one this cute:
This seemed like a perfect combo for a Halloween card, which gave me a chance to use more of the $1 stamps I found at Michaels a few weeks ago. I don't do cute cards very often, but I just can't resist images like this at Halloween!
This card was fairly quick and easy to make. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the images on a white cardstock panel, colored them with Prisma pencils, and blended with OMS. The open circle border is from PTI's Faux Ribbon, and I originally planned to fill the circles with bling, but decided against it in the end. The sentiment is from Tiny Treats: Halloween.
The panel is matted and stitched to a piece of Summer Sunrise cardstock, tied with Mandarin twine from The Twinery, and adhered to a Basic Gray card base.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Summer Sunrise, white), Stampin' Up! (Basic Gray)
Stamps: Studio G (vampire, witch, mummy), Papertrey Ink (Faux Ribbon, Tiny Treats: Halloween)
Ink: Inkadinkadoo (Black)
Coloring medium: Prismacolor Premier pencils, odorless mineral spirits
Accessories: The Twinery (Mandarin twine), thread
I have a special post lined up for tomorrow, so be sure to stop by! Thanks for your visit today!

It's adorable! I may have to head on over to Michael's and look around for these $1 stamps! Perfect touch with the black stitching - I am too lazy to change the thread on my machine. LOL!
BEAUTIFUL take on the colors! I love the color mix for these cute stamps! The stitching and twine details are absolutely perfect! You should do more cute cards more often as I love this!
I think you do cute well, and what a fun sentiment. I try to resist the $1 bins, but perhaps I should look more closely next time :)
