A California-kind of Halloween

This week's TIOT #38 challenge was to create a Halloween or Fall card. Sometimes I like to change things a bit...to look at a stamp and see it for something different than what it is. I didn't have any Halloween stamps from SCACD so looked at what I had and bingo! I saw my Emma from the Elisabeth Bell Sampler Edition 1 and saw a rather chic trick-or-treater. All it needed was a little creative tweaking! I showed it to Susana (SCACD owner) and she said it was definitely very California. We're both CA gals and believe you me, it is not unheard of to see laid-back, flip-flop wearing trick-or-treaters! So, here's my California "witch" using the MMSC21 sketch: I love how the Crystal Stickles reflected a greenish color on the black cardstock! Having made this card I came to realize that I need to get cracking on making my sons' Halloween costumes!!

Card Recipe:

Stamp: Emma from the Elisabeth Bell Sampler Edition for SCACD

Ink: Versamark

Paper: Basic Grey Indian Summer pad, SU cs (Perfect Plum, Barely Banana, Basic Black)

Accessories: Petaloo Dazzlers Florettes, White Inkssentials gel pen, Crystal Stickles, Prima flower, decorative heart pin, jewelry beads, black dimensional dot stickers, watercolor markers, watercolor paper
