Spooky September: Week 1!

 

Hi friends!


It's officially September and the start to all things spooky!

Truthfully, I've seen Halloween 

in some of the stores I frequent since June :P

And last month,

Christmas was already out BEFORE school supplies!

Whhhhhhhaaaaaat! :)



My card today is for a 4 week Instagram series

I was invited to be a part of with my sweet friend Kelly.

Each Monday in September,

she gives us a 3 color combination and we make a card background.

Any stamp, any design as long as it's the 3 colors + SPOOKY!




I went with this adorable Big Grumpy from Taylored Expressions.

Kelly chose these 3 colors this week:

Evergreen Bough, Uncharted Mariner and Black Soot.




I used my TE Blending brushes to create a background

and added a haunted forest frame.

I stamped it out and then die cut Big Grumpy

and colored it with my prismacolor markers

along with the Halloween accessories.


To take it just a smidge further, I did a challenge to use ONLY the 3

colors in my entire card!

In hindsight, I won't be doing that next week, LOL!

So my card isn't super spooky, especially for Halloween,

as cute, funny and whimsical are more my vibe!


Here's to a BOO-tiful week ahead!

Thanks for stopping by!

  3. OH! such fun, love the sentiment with the spooky cat. Yep! Here in the UK, where Halloween isn't that big, I was watching stores put out Halloween and Christmas stuff.
