Serendipity Stamps - Halloween




Hi all, today I have a Halloween card for this week's blog hop for Serendipity Stamps! I have used the sweet Kitty With Pumpkin image, and stamped it in Toffee Crunch Memento Ink, it's a sandy colour, and not as strong as a plain brown ink, and I love it!


I coloured the image with Promarkers, and cut with Nestabilities Classic Circles, and matted with Scalloped circles.


The sentiment, Smell My Feet, is also stamped in Toffee Crunch, and cut with Nestabilities. I stitched a pumpkin coloured piece of card to some dark plum card for the card base.


I added some black mesh and orange spot grosgrain ribbon from The Ribbon Reel, and finished off with buttons and some dark brown hemp twine.

Here are the rest of the design team:

Do stop by the rest of the Design Team!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

Pauline, this is SO SWEET!! I absolutely love the look of the Toffee Crunch Ink - such a soft effect and a change to black or dark brown. Your colouring is really beautifully done as always and I love the layout with the two circles and the perfect black mesh and orange polka dot ribbon! Just a brilliant Halloween card x :)))

I love this card Pauline...that mesh with the orange ribbon on top looks so much like a spider web...wish I had thought of that one! I love your coloring and that is a great shade of brown, you are right it is not as stark as dark brown and really adds to the spooky feel you were going for on your Halloween card.

Oh wow! I really love the look the softer ink gave you (I have to try this) it gives a distressed / vintage look to the images. Your card is stunning as always! Seriously the stitching, buttons, bows, lacey trim and your shading just make this a knock out!
