Today I'm sharing another of the Halloween cards I've made and we've made a lot of them in this household this year. As I shared yesterday, my sis-in-law and I are sharing a house now and since we're both crafty people, we're delighted with the arrangement. But between the two of us, we now have nearly 50 family members, including grands and great-grands (and a few extra friends) who will get cards from us for holidays, birthdays, etc. so she's coloring like mad and I'm turning those colored images into cards. So far, we have about 36 Halloween cards made, some of which she colored, some of which I colored. I colored the QKR Stampede image on today's card.
I dearly love this old broom and have used it before on non-Halloween cards but this year it just seemed to speak out as a witch's broom so I colored it with my ProMarkers, cut it with a QuicKutz die, inked the edges with a marker, and added the sentiment (cut with an Avery Elle die.) I made the background by using a scrap of dp which came from a Recollections stack. I just thought all the mummy eyes peeking out added to the sense of waiting, and waiting, and waiting for the witches to arrive. (Kind of like waiting for the cooler fall temperatures to arrive out here where I live!) :-D
