Frightful Raven

      I have my first Halloween card for the year to share with you today.  Somehow, I got things out of order in my card making.  I've been focused on Thanksgiving cards and have most of those done already and then it struck me that Halloween is next month and Thanksgiving the month after that so I got busy and made my first two Halloween cards yesterday.

     I have 12 more Halloween images colored and ready but they haven't been turned into cards yet.  Later this week, probably, and certainly over the weekend so that I have more of them to share with you early next week.

     I chose this image from Beccy's Place, colored it with my newest Ohuhu alcohol markers, then cut it with a Spellbinders die.  I inked the edges with a marker and mounted the printed and cut sentiment (also Beccy's Place and a Tonic Studios die to cut it) onto the image piece.  The background CS is embossed with glitter EP and it says "Boo" in half a dozen different fonts and sizes.  I think that's from a DCWV stack.  No embellishment beyond the embossing because it was perfect the way it was.


     Challenges:

     Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

The embossed background is fantastic NanaConnie, it really shines in the light! Love all the different fonts. You did a great job colouring the image, I particularly like the beady eye you gave to the raven... he's a spooky looking chap!
Cheers,
Beccy
