For my little Pumpkin

Almost unbelievable!  I think I found an extra day today!  I was supposed to go to Peterborough for an overnight stay, as it is my grandson's birthday.  As luck would have it though, he was sick to his stomach this morning....all over the kitchen floor!  Sooooo, I'm  waiting a few days, and this gave me a nice mild day to do some work in the garden....and then I made another card!


I needed another Halloween card, and this cute little image was a freebie that you can find here, at Redonkulous Designs.  This will be for one of my granddaughters, and it just so happens that her favourite colour is purple! 

I've made a Z fold card this time around, and found some halloween papers in my old scrapbooking stash.  The image is coloured with copics, and then I used the 'out of the box' technique with my Spellbinders die.  I've added some metalic pen to the edges, for a bit of interest, and it actually shows quite well in the photo! (for a change).  The orange circle has been cut twice, in order to sandwich the fold and provide a nice clean back for the inside.  As you can see, I've inked and stamped the front half, trying for a bit of a spooky look.  I think she should like this.

Tools used:
Spellbinders die - Labels Twenty Three
Whimsy Vines die, and Corner Die Set

Thanks for stopping by, and I do hope you've had a lovely weekend too!
