What am I doing!! This is the very first and probably the very last Halloween card I will ever make! A La Card Monkey challenge had Halloween as their theme this week together with a sketch. I own one Halloween stamp and it is the wording I used here so it has seen ink for the first time LOL!
I could not think what I could do although I was in the US around Halloween time one year and got to see the excellent displays in front yards - ghosts and bats hanging in trees, carved pumpkins everywhere - I loved seeing it all! So I should have had lots of ideas!
It was the opportunity for me though to use those yummy Halloween colours and that Elegant Eggplant which I love! I stamped the background with the SU woodgrain background stamp [ love it] and then ran it through a stripe embossing folder. The green is a retired SU colour and just used buttons from my stash.
The owls are supposed to look scared - hmmm not sure I got that look LOL!!

Fantastic job with wonderful colors. Great use of the sketch.

Now that is a cute card, I think the owls are looking at each other saying... "did you hear that" lol. I am really proud of you for doing a challenge... that really is a challenge for you. If you lived close by I would say "come over anytime to stamp Halloween" I have Hundreads of stamps.

LOL! My first thought on seeing the pic was "wow, those owls look startled!" so I think you've achieved your aim with this fabby card! :)
OMG, I love the bright, cheery colors of your card. I think it's great - especially considering the lack of Halloween stamps. I love Halloween and have a hard time believing it's not celebrated world wide! lol Thanks for taking part in our A La Card Monkey challenge this week.
