So, over the weekend I started my Halloween cards and next thing you know, one of my neighbors wants 10 cards to mail to her grandkids and nieces. Now I'm working to get all those done plus the cards I'll need for my own family and friends. Fortunately, I keep finding all these darling stamps so there's no excuse not to get them done right away. This one is from AuroraWings.
I used my ProMarkers again to color the image, then cut it with a plain square die. I printed the sentiment on white CS and added it below the image. I used one layer of dp and two layers of 'Linen' embossed CS to frame out the image and then put all of that onto a square card front.
I used sparkly copper ribbon from my stash and found another scrap of lavender ribbon to make the bow. The butterfly is from Petaloo.

We're back in the 100+ temps this week and I was so convinced that normal fall temperatures would control from now on but I guess we have to endure one more heat wave before summer lets go completely. I'm ready for that nip in the air that says autumn is here. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
On the AuroraWings FB page,
this is the inspiration photo for the September challenge
and I think I used all the colors in it.
I also used the sketch from
Always Playing with Paper, turned 1/4 turn.

Fabulous card, Thank you for entering the Glitter N Sparkle Blog challenge x DT Lisa x
Absolutely adorable, NC and your colours are spot on! The black bg is the perfect backdrop.

The sentiment says it all. Way too cute to spook. She is the prettiest witch I've ever scene. I noticed that we don't even have a "black" car, but a darling gray kitty. So sweet. Your coloring is fabulous and I love that all the colors match your image.
OH! my goodness she is gorgeous so are the colours, great way to use the sketch.
She is most certainly too cute to spook Connie! ;) Awesome coloring and a sweet image too! Ten of them? Wow!!
Love the way you layered this to frame out that cute little gal! Gorgeous coloring too! WOW!
Have fun making all those cards - and can't wait to see them!
Hope things cool down a little for you soon Connie. It's been a very hot summer.
Sorry I haven't been around lately - been under the weather a little bit.

Hello, NC! Your card is so cute - what a sweet image - I like the black background! The best part about making Halloween cards is that a lot of the images feature cats hehe.
I popped in to say a big THANK YOU. Pat from the Outlawz contacted me about you turning in one of your prizes, and I ended up being the lucky winner so I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am! Very generous of you to do that and I loved the Bugaboo images she sent me! Thank you! Happy Crafting!
Beautiful layering and colours.
hugs,
Teresa
