My friend and Cuttlebug Challenge DT sister, Heidi, designed a sketch for the current Caardvarks' Sketchfest challenge.This is the first Halloween card I have made this season! I used a glittery rub-on I purchased after Halloween last year at Michael's when they were on clearance. The papers are K&Co. The border punch is Martha Stewart (I finally bought this particular punch last month.) The sentiment, "Things have not been the same since that house fell on my sister" is computer generated.
My second card is an image sent to me by blog friend, Chris Dark. I used BasicGrey June Bug papers. I colored Tilda from top to bottom. I was really happy with her top and frock until I got to her stockings. The stamped pattern was different than her sleeves, and using the red and yellow didn't look right. So I added the blue...eek! This is definitely a "less is more" situation. I decided to put the plaid BG paper on the bottom half of the card hoping to make those awful stockings less noticeable. Today I was blog surfing and saw the same Tilda on Martine's card. She colored the sleeves and stockings in one color. Yep, that's what I should have done. Oh well :)

Love the sentiment with that fun haunted house ... and what a great use of that dripping goo punch ... fantastic sketch design.
Wow, you caught the Halloween bug! I'm lovin' it! The Haunted House is great and love the border punch effect. Sentiment is way too cute!
Love the haunted house card :-)
Tilda might have started a new fashion trend with those stockings.. I thought they where special and nice.

HA!!! ok, that is my favorite sentiment EVER...and you have used it SOOOOO brilliantly on your gorgeous haunted house card!!!
(i love the tilda one too, actually; i think her stockings look cool...and in any case, you're quite right that the plaid completely minimizes her bottom half...maybe *I* should start sitting on some plaid...hmmmm...) :)
