I haven't done a tall and skinny card for ages, it seems, but this one for Halloween (done with a Penny Black stamp) just had to be tall to get the effect of the entire scene. Take a look - you'll see right away what I mean.
I adore hedgies and finding these two as witches on their broom just made me happy! I also love making Halloween cards so that made me even happier. :-D
I colored the cute hedgie witches on their broom with my ProMarkers and die cut them with a Sizzix die. I inked the edges with a deep, purple marker. I printed and cut the sentiment with another Sizzix die.
The background is done entirely with papers from a Making Memories Halloween stack. I had to trim things to fit the card size but I loved figuring out the how and where of placement for the papers and scrap bits.
I decided that I only needed minimal embellishment so I tied a black ribbon bow and added a tiny gem to it.

OK, I'm going to take all my happiness to the kitchen and fix some dinner, then do an early bedtime. I was up at 4:30 this morning, didn't have a nap, and sleepy time is fast setting in. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
