Time to buy that Halloween Candy...

Hi Stampers,

Well if you live in my area (Chicagoland) we are certainly having the best few weeks of fall weather I can remember (I think they said it hasn't been this nice for like 18 years here). The colors on the trees are great and the grass is still green (due to the week of rain and dreary weather we had last week) and it definitely feels like fall. I love living where the seasons change! Halloween is right around the corner and that's where today's card share comes in.

This is one of the projects that I did at my Fall Fun stamp camp in September and uses several new products from the Holiday Mini Catalog. One of them is the stamp I used which is called Haunted Forest - it's another of the single stamps available in the catalog. I stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with the new Pewter Embossing Powder from the mini. After it was embossed, I colored it with Stampin' Pastels. I used the 1" circle punch to mask the moon and then went back and colored it in after I colored the sky. I used Marina Mist, Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede and Daffodil Delights pastels to color. This image is attached to a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock and then a piece of Frightful Sights DSP and then to a piece of Basic Black cardstock that I folded in half and then cut with the Scallop Square die on the Big Shot (moving it down so the fold isn't cut).

Don't forget to sign up for my next stamp camp - Scrap City where we'll do projects using up those cardstock and DSP scraps you have lying around.

Keep Stamping and enjoying the rain-free weather!
