Spooktacular Fun!!

Happy Spooky Hallow's Eve & Friday to ya!! Thank goodness for weekends--we all need a bit of a break I think, hee hee! So happy to hear from alot of you that battle with their spouses over the lights & temperature too---I knew I couldn't be alone, LOL! I have just resigned myself to the fact that we will always AGREE to DISAGREE and things won't change--I will always like to be warm and have lots of light and my hubby is obviously a cold-blooded bat, bwahahahahha-perfect for Halloween! My kids are super excited about Halloween tomorrow--this is my daughter's last year to trick-or-treat so her and her friends are having a spooky sleepover after treating to celebrate. But it's supposed to rain here (1st time it's ever rained on Halloween since my kids have been born)-so I'm really crossing my fingers that it doesn't! And we have to turn the clocks back---ugh--my least favorite time of the year--I hate the dark!! Well today, I have a few spooky cards for ya--my last for this season and then we'll move on to the next holiday.........

Spooky Magnolia Collection

I got my cutie-pie Magnolia Spooky Collection stamps in yesterday from Diana of Magnolia-licious, so I had to hurry and ink some up for ya! I used yesterday's SCS Sketch #252 for both of my layouts today--it's a fun one! This is "Witch Tilda" with her friend "Owl"--I just love them, so cute together (and they're both on sale too)! The papers are all by Basic Grey's "Eerie"--some of the papers make awesome backgrounds for your spooky scenes like what I've used here. The sentiment is from MFT, buttons by PTI and Martha Stewart Cobweb punch for the corners.
Witch & Owl were colored with copics and then Tilda got stardust stickles on her dress and hat band, diamond glaze on her boots and Owl's eyes. Spooky Boo to You!!

Second card uses a fun stamp called "Haunted House" from I Brake For Stamps--I love coloring spooky houses and this would make a great background stamp as well. Remember if you order from I Brake For Stamps, use the Coupon Code "SAVE10SUZANNE" to get 10% off your entire order! I used the BG "Eerie" papers again and the same sketch just turned on it's side. I colored with Copics & my Spica pens and the ghosts got stickles added to them--so it's really sparkly IRL. I used a fabulous large bat punch out (thanks to my pal Cheryl Rowley for sending me them) to stamp my sentiment on & inked the edges w/ silver ink. A few more smaller bats and some black rhinestones finished this Halloween card off. I adore it :o)

Have a fabulous Friday & I'll see ya back here tomorrow with 2 more projects!

  1. OMG! These are both SPOOKTACULAR!!! I love that house and you colored it wonderfully! Looks like we were on the same page using the same Tilda and even incorporated the same paper in to today's cards! Amazing how we can use similar supplies and have totally different cards! Hope that you are feeling better today and that the rain holds off tomorrow night.

  11. Hi Suzanne,
    Sure hope it decides not to rain on your children tomorrow. It always rains where I live, so it doesn't seem Halloweeen without it LOL....Your daughter will have a great night by the sounds of it - sleeping over!
    Love both of your cards today. Tilda and the Owl are so sweet and love the paper. Your spooky house is really neat!!
    Hugs, Candy

  13. Fabulous card, Suzanne. Just when Halloween Tildas have arrive, Halloween is almost over!! Aghh!! Awesome colouring of both cards. Love the way you made Tilda's dress look with use of stickles. And the fab haunted house image would be the perfect background for Tilda, me thinks too.

    Hugs.
