I've been working on Halloween cards and have almost enough to send out to all the kids, grandkids, and great grands. However, this particular card is for a friend who celebrates her birthday on Halloween and I try to do a Halloween themed, birthday card for her each year. I've always teased her that she must have magic spells to keep her age from showing. :-D
I also did this one for the challenge at Catch the Bug (Bugaboo Stamps image) and it should bring a smile.
Believe it or not, this is a single layer card. I started with placement of the black and white. outline image (plus the sentiment), then I scanned some saved packaging from a stamp set I bought a couple of years ago, and used my Word software to make strips of it at the top and bottom of what became the card front.
I colored with ProMarkers, added the bow, and it was done! Fun card but not all that fast. Scanning and playing with the Word program took nearly an hour before I ever got to start coloring. :-D
