Spooky Stamps and Markers

I've talked before about the international card exchange I joined at the Society of Stampaholics. The time has come to mail out cards for my second month of participation and the challenge could incorporate themes of either friendship, Halloween, or the moon. 

I got a real bargain on some holiday stamps at an estate sale and haven't had the opportunity to use them yet. So I busted out this adorable little witch and got to work coloring her up with my Spectrum Noir markers.
 Half-way through coloring, I stopped and thought, "Huh... do they celebrate Halloween in New Zealand?" Turns out, NOPE! New Zealanders don't trick-or-treat from what Google tells me. Shoot! But at least I get to share this cute card with you immediately, rather than waiting until Dawn in New Zealand gets it. She'll get a different creation. 

This cute card will just have to be mailed to somebody else...maybe with a bag of candy corn!




I also got a lovely comment from Darnell Knauss who just started a new challenge called never-before-used-schtuff. Just from reading her blog, I can tell she has an amazing wit and just loves to encourage other crafters, so I will happily be entering this into her second NBUS challenge


I also will be entering it into Crafting for All Season's Challenge "Colors of Autumn" and STAMPlorations "Stamps and Markers" challenge.

  2. That is my kind of Halloween card, Becca: adorable!! I have a sister who is addicted to candy corn and I'm pretty sure if she went to your blog she'd be trying to lick those candies right off her monitor!! Great touch with the swirly clips, too, BTW! I have a bunch of those and I'm always looking for ideas, so thank you for that! Thank you, too, for your sweet words and for playing in my second NBUS Challenge!! Hugs, Darnell

  3. what a hoot Becca. You are right... we don't celebrate Halloween to the same extent as in USA but we do go trick and treating on Halloween, just don't do the same card giving. And I have to say we don't have candy corn! I love you little Halloween witch though. And looking forward to what ever comes my way :-) Hugs Dawn
