A spooky sketch

I tried something new on this card that I've never done before.  I used a digital stamp that I downloaded from Bird's Cards blog.  I do not have a lot of Halloween stamps so went browsing through blogs that offered digi stamps.  This card is for my nephew so I decided to use this spooky looking pumpkin.  I'm more of a cute pumpkin face lover.  

This layout is from the Pals Paper Arts designed by Pal Margaret Moody.  So I started with this sketch ...

and ended with this card ...

Stamps:  Wicked Cool, digi by Bird's Cards
Paper:  Black, Cajun Craze, White
DSP:  paper pack from Hobby Lobby
Ink:  Black
Accessories:  Prismacolor markers, Nestabilities oval dies, Halloween ribbon from H.L., glitter pen, square lattice embossing folder, mini brads.

  • After printing the pumpkin on white cardstock, I colored it with my Prismacolor Markers and cut it out.
  • I added glitter to the eyes trying to make it more friendly looking ... didn't work.  Think he actually looks more evil.  
Thanks for stopping by and ...

Have a great day,
Pam~

I'm almost too scared to comment. Ha Boys do love scary things, don't they? Anyway, it is a great Halloween card, Pam.

And those eyes are what I love about your pumpkin! I'm thinking of casing this one for my Grandson, he would LOVE it.
