Vintage Postcard Halloween

      Today I'm posting a quick reminder about our Monthly October challenge over at This is Halloween.  Our themes are always Halloween or Gothic and this month is our biggest of the year!  :-D

     We're being sponsored by Lilli Rain Designs and my reminder card features a delightful vintage image from the "Cute Vintage Halloween Collage set 2."  My first card can be found here with another image from the set.

    This image is also pre-colored and then cut with my Fiskars cutting board.  I made the background using s scrap of yellow CS, which has been embossed for texture, and some strips of burlap fabric with threads pulled from them to give some visual interest as well as texture.  The orange bow is one of my hand-sewn bows I make up by the dozens and toss in my stash for future use.  This one was white but I 'dyed' it with a ProMarker.

    
     This is also my Day 10 entry into the 

     Challenges:

     Come play in our challenge this month!  Any Halloween or Gothic-style project will be accepted.  
Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

Great pre-colored image use for your focal point, and love the embossed panel and the burlap pulls it altogether... pretty vintage card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and Jan's Digis Blog Challenge.
