Hambo Hoedown Challenge - All Wrapped Up

Halloween, my favorite time of year for cardmaking.  There are sooo many great stamps and digis for Halloween.  And the colors for Halloween - Black, orange, purple and green when I think of these colors I think of Halloween.  Those are the colors we were to use for this week's Hambo Hoedown challenge "All Wrapped Up".  Because I played last week in the challenge I received this cute Mummy digi to use this week with the Halloween colors.  If you haven't joined this challenge then check it out here.  Each week you receive a great digi file (drawn by Tim)  from Hambo Stamps to use in the challenge.


I used the Tim Holtz Texture Fades embossing folder called Rays (it looks like a sunburst ). I embossed the 4 Halloween colors and then matched them up and cut them down to the size to fit and attached to a white card base. I colored the Mummy digi with my Copics markers and added him to the card with pop dots.  The sentiment was included with the digi file and I added a squiggly brad then attached both to the front of the card. A simple Happy Halloween sentiment is included inside. Thanks for looking.

Pike's Playground "Spooktastic" Challenge

If you haven't seen the great images by Dustin Pike then you have to check them out at Doodledragonstudios.  He's got some great hand drawn images and usually has a weekly freebie that's worth checking out.  Halloween is almost here what a fun holiday to celebrate and decorate for.  I love making cards for Halloween, there are so many great stamps and digitals available for Halloween.  This week's challenge at Pike's Playground is a Halloween challenge - use Halloween colors and a Doodle Dragon image. That's easy- the hard part was deciding which Doodle Dragon image to use. I chose Dudley (Witch Dragon image) because he's just so darn cute (I'm not really into scary-eventhough it's Halloween). 


The Spooky background is also a Doodle Dragon Studios image.  I colored both images with my Copics markers.  Dudley and the sentiment (which was computer generated) are attached to the card with pop dots to make them stand out more.  Thanks for stopping by and looking.
