Is it really August already? Time flies and we're going to get earnest about fall cards soon, but I'm feeling more ready because I've been in a monthly Halloween groove all year thanks to the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge.
Today's card is fun and girly in a witchy kind of way. I colored a new-to-me Bugaboo digi and gave it a non-Halloween sentiment which seems to work pretty well with the shoe.
The inspiration board gives us a nice variety of jumping off points. I based my card loosely on the cupcake photo because I had a hankerin' to color the shoe.
The "fantastic" is cut from orange glitter paper. The zigzag stitch is an old Hero Arts stamp. I added blue and orange gems, a glitter resin dot, and some Wink of Stella which doesn't show in the photo. Coloring was done with Tombow markers and a blender pen.
Come see us at Two Old Bats and share your Halloween card or project in the gallery. We were so pleased to have an increased number of players with lots of fabulous entries in our July challenge. Have a fantastic day!
I don't make Halloween cards but love to see yours, they are always so much fun :)

that is one terrific shoe, I like the web on the shoe, neat details, the faux stitching looks great with it. Like how you used stamp combined with die cut for the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteWow...Fabulous Witches shoe, DSP, and clever and creative card design, Leslie. You always amaze me with your unique and creative Halloween cards and they are always so different with all your layering, stamping, coloring and more:-) TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteThis is just too cute! I love Halloween but I haven't made cards for several years. Since my grandson grew up I just stopped doing them. You have inspired me to do some again!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun...oh wait wrong holiday. No seriously, such a cute bootie. I really need to get on with the Halloween cards. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteIt looks GREAT! Especially with the cool BG shoe! Jodie is a fabulous artist. I always admire your use of patterned paper, and it's good seeing your stitching again! I hope to start playing with my stitching again soon! What I really like is that you used orange and non-traditional Halloweenie colors! Brilliant! hugs, de
