I'm delighted to have been invited to be a Guest Designer at the C.R.A.F.T. challenge this week and the challenge is sponsored by both Trimgym (fantastic digital papers!) and The Cutting Cafe. Since I don't have a machine that can use electronic cutting files, I chose one of the digital papers from Trimgym (<--- check out the link - the dp I used happens to be a freebie you can get, along with several others :-D) and an image from my collection of digis to make this fun and haunting card which fits right in with the Halloween/Thanksgiving theme for this challenge.
This funny "Stack of Jacks" image, along with the sentiment, both come from Beccy's Place, but they are from different stamp sets. I merged the sentiment onto the image before printing, then colored with my Sanjoki markers. BTW, the image was printed in light brown instead of black (the magic of Word!) and it makes the image look more "lineless." :-D
I cut the image with a die from Tonic Studios. I inked the edges and layered it directly onto the magnificent digi paper from Trimgym. I kept it very CAS, no embellishment of any kind since I'm going to mail this to one of my grandsons for Halloween.
This is as perfect image for me. From my childhood days, I have loved carving pumpkins into Jack-o-Lanterns, and the spookier the better. I don't know that I ever tried a one-eyed, cyclops Jack but I may have to try that this year. :-D

Spook-tastic Stack of Jacks card! Love your coloring of these!
Your Halloween card is fantastic NanaConnie, I'm sure the grandkids will love it! Great idea to print the image in orange rather than black, it gives them an even spookier appearance... like they're sitting close to a fire. The paper works perfectly too.
Cheers,
Beccy
P.S. I'll attempt to add the link to the challenge, hopefully it's not playing up today.
Fang-tastic as always! Thanks for joining at The Paper Shelter #572 Halloween or Halloween Colors
