I don't send many Halloween cards but I do like to have some on hand. I have two boxes of Halloween stamps, dies and ephemera - some of it never used yet - so there's that reason too!
So for this card I used three new Lavinia Stamps for the first time (pumpkins and bats), a baseboard frame from Tim Holtz that I've had a package of for a year and never used one of them, and Regions Beyond die set (candle and crow) that I've also had for over a year and never used!
I seem to buy things after season when they are on sale and then forget I have them?!?
I'm sending my card to:
Inspired by the pumpkins, window and candle.
ends 9/26

ends 9/24

Awesome card Julia and I love, LOVE those hanging upside down bats!!! Fun Halloween card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
I make Halloween cards for my 11 grands and greats and this is a fantastic idea I may have to CASE, Julia. The hanging bats I have never seen before and they look great hanging from the window. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it!!! So different, so clever! Great job!
Adorable Halloween card!! Thank you for joining us for this weeks Inspired by...Autumn Challenge. ~Von Marie~
I do the same thing, Julia! I'm trying to put the brakes on and not buy at the end of the season, but it's hard to stop myself! This is a REALLY scary Halloween card, my friend! Those bats are scarier hanging there than flying, I think. Eerie and perfect for Halloween!
I love this Halloween card!
Those hanging bats...fantastic!! So glad you joined the fun and played along with our FALL//AUTUMN challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz!! You rocked our challenge with your window scene...perfectly masculine!! Deb Horst, DT #C4G378
So cute! Love those bats! Thanks so much for playing along at Inspired By!
Great combo of elements on this fun Halloween card, Julia - love the window with the bat & candles, plus the scary pumpkins and raven!!
Here in Greece halloween isn't really celebrated so I don't have any stamps or dies in my collection so it's always lovely to see spooky and fun cards and this is no exception. Thank you for the inspiration.
