Eat Drink & Be Scary

Welcome Everyone;

I hope you are all enjoying the last few days of summer before school starts up again.  I'm sure we are all wishing & hoping, that our children and grandchildren can have a somewhat normal school year.  Maybe, Halloween will even get back to being normal with all the trick & treating and children having fun.

Last month, I did a set of  posts featuring a variation of cards that were done using High Hopes Stamps Snowman Mini Set.  Today, I'm using the Halloween Mini Set from High Hopes Stamps, Halloween Fall Release and featuring only one card, with suggestions of other ideas.

I stamped all the images on XPress It Blending Cardstock.  Both the Witch and Pumpkin were stamped in side the frames after stamping the frames first.  The Ghost & Frankie were fuzzy cut after colouring them.  I used a plain square & circle die to cut the Witch & Pumpkin out.  The edges of both were inked using Pear Tart & Tangelo Ink.   For the Ghost & Frankie, I mounted them on some older Halloween paper after counting a circle out using the Wonky Stitched Circle Die.  I made sure that the Ghost and Frankie that were on paper didn't get cut, but showed up in its entirety.  Some twine and enamel dots finished off the card.
