Well, yesterday I shared a Thanksgiving card with you and today I've reverted back to another Halloween card, this one with an image from QKR Stampede. Over the years that I was on the QKR Stampede DT, I'll bet I used this image every Halloween for at least 8 years (which is pretty much every year I was on the team!) It's a favorite of mine but this time I get to share it as another collaboration with my sis-in-law doing the coloring of the image with Ohuhu markers and me putting the card together.
The colored image was cut with a Spellbinders rectangle die but I rounded the corners with one of my Fiskars punches. I did the same thing with the frame around the image, cut with a Spellbinders die and corners rounded with the Fiskars punch. My sis-in-law loved the shape and asked me to cut more of her colored images that way when turning them into a card. lol She's getting hooked on the card making process, ... slooowly. Just not yet ready to try her own hand at it.
(I made another card yesterday afternoon as a birthday card for one of her granddaughters but I made her choose the image, the size and shape of it, plus the paper for the background and all I did was choose one little embellishment. Maybe I'll share that card tomorrow.)
I used paper scraps which originally came from a Recollections Halloween stack to make the background. I combined the two of them because neither was large enough to cover the entire card front but even with different size stripes, they worked together so well. The sentiment was printed and cut with a small Tonic Studios die, then framed with a scrap bit of CS.
