OK, this weekend I've gotten inspired to make a few Halloween cards and I started with this darling little witch from Conie Fong. Who could resist that cute face and that sweet little kitten cuddled in her arm?
She's colored with ProMarkers, then fussy cut. I used a set of framing dies from Spellbinders to cut the black piece behind the image. I cut those from different pieces of scrap CS and inlaid them to make the one, large framing piece.
The 'moon' is cut with a plain circle die from QuicKutz and the bats are cut with a Cottage Cutz die. Those were also cut from scrap bits rescued from the trash can.
I printed and hand cut the sentiment. The three tiny dots are negative pieces which fell out of the Spellbinders die cut and I just used them like gem embellies.

I'll have another post later this afternoon - not Halloween, but Christmas instead. I'm still hoping our 103F weather will change and get cooler. Throughout the summer this year, 5 out of every 6 days have been 100 degrees or higher, and even those which have been below 100, have been 98 or 99. That started the last week of May and I'm really tired of it! I'm trying to entice fall by doing cold weather cards. :-D Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
I took inspiration from the sketch at The Outlawz
turning it a quarter turn and I also took a bit of a liberty with it.
