Sketch #491~ Halloween card #6

Here is Halloween Card #6 for the season. 

Quite spooky for me. I have to tell ya this 

was a stressful card.  

I will first start off by submitting it to the 

challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Scary silhouette Dies, 

cauldron bubble, clever cats, 

everything festive. 

Now that we have the sketch up I will explain

the stress of my card.  You see orginally for that 

little circle on the side of the rectangle, I had

planned a cat.  Oh yes a black cat with green eyes.

I spent so much time die cutting and trimming all

sorts of paper from orange to green to white to finally

leaving it gray, then I realized I couldn't color the eyes

a brilliant green, so I had to ever so carefully stick a 

piece of white card stock under it.  This project took

probably 40 minutes, between my tired eyes, and sticky

clumsy fingers, things where not going well, finally

as I was about to remove the cat for the final time I ripped

his tail right off.  ugh!!  That's it I said to my self, I will

use a ghost but I  had stamped a cute cat sentiment, 

so I had to find a new one and layer that on some

 paper to cover the previous one. 

I then decide to put the ghost lower down

 to cover the majority of glue marks. and right when 

I thought this fiasco was over.  I dropped the ink pad onto

my card.  See the lower right hand corner.  Well, at 

this point I'm considering it art, and embrace it's unique flare.

sigh. 

Don't even get me started on the moon.  The dies

come with one of those half moon shapes. That I tried in

a vast variety of colors.   Well that

was not "cutting it" haha for me.  So I opted for a 

full moon for this spooky card.  

Needless to say I was quite stressed with this card.  

perhaps because it's too scary, skeltons, bats,

ghosts, Oh my.  

On a happy note, look what came to our 

yard today for a visit.   I'm sure that gorgeous

hawk was just looking for some mice.  He has

good pickings in that junk yard next door. 

I hope ya all are able to enjoy a slice of pizza today.

Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
