Happy Howl-oween!

Hey everyone!!

Hope you all had a great weekend!!  Can you believe it's almost November?  Just a couple more days and we are there!  Wow, I better get going on my Christmas cards else I'll be doing what I did last year... Scrambling to get them done without any sleep!!  EEK!

Well don't want to think about anything now except more Halloween fun.  Over the weekend I went to Joann's and they were having a sale on Tim Holtz Sizzix dies, so I grabbed a few and had to use one of them right away for this Howling Halloween card...


Meet Jo Jo the Werewolf from Sweet November.  I colored him up with Copics.  The rest of the card was all Distress inks and dies. The tree was the Tim Holtz die I bought from Joann's.  After I cut it out I kept the negative of it and used it to make a shadow on the card.  Here is a picture of what it looked like with the moon and clouds. 


Pretty spooky yah?  muahhhhahaha....  This next picture is of the actual die cut tree that I sponged with Distress Inks walnut stain and black soot.  I moved it over a bit so it looks like there is a shadow being cast on to the tree from the full moon. 


By adding a fun sentiment, a creepy fence (WOJ picket fence), some bats and that big crow (Spellbinders) this turned out to be a pretty spooky yet fun Howl-o-ween card. hehehe...


Couple more days till Halloween, anyone going to dress up? Me?  Hm... I'm not sure yet.  If I do I'll let you knooooooowwwwwww.  (hehehe) 


Mahalo for stopping by today.  You all know how much I appreciate your kind words and support.  I hope to be able to do more blog hopping soon.  Take care and have a great day!!
