I hate batch making cards....

EXCEPT.....at this time of year :D

 I bought these images from SBS Halloween stamps earlier this month 

*Original SBS steampunk images currently on sale(don't know for how long)...yes I bought them all*

 Selected  Promarkers keeping my colour palette really traditional...

 made the background cards to match each image using

 Tattered Lace Halloween and Visible Image "Mr Bone Jangles stamps...

 and then just added a single colour to add interest.

 Chose coordinating colours to "edge" the images before

gluing them flat to the card.

 Loving how these turned out...very CAS and lightweight to post.

 but full of creepy yumminess :D

My first "official" Halloween card "squeee....!"

 TTCRD have a wonderful sponsor this week

Decosse's Dynamite Doodles

who has a huge number of freebies on her blog!!!

T'would be rude not to use one for their challenge so I 

collected a few seasonal background papers....

 I loved the "Harvest" paper and thought it would work as a background

to emboss onto in black.

 I used my new Halloween stamps from Tattered Lace 

and an old favourite from Graphics 45

 The large pumpkin just looked like the perfect harvest moon,

so I masked it and darkened the area around it with ink.

 To add a little more dimension I stamped and embossed

3 pumpkins from the same Halloween set, coloured

with promarkers and fussy cut.

I made the sentiment topper, again colouring a piece of 

white scrap card with co-coordinating markers

and another Graphics 45 stamp.

I am entering this card for the following challenges;
