Girly Ghoul

Pin It

Hello and Happy Monday!  :)

Ok, so I love Halloween -- but I really, really, really, really hate being scared (I really, really, really hate it!)…  That's right -- no scary movies, no dark alley ways, no jumping out at me from around a corner --  I'm just not having it!   Sooooo…. that makes Halloween a bit tricky (ha!  how punny am I??)…  I like the idea of Halloween, but appreciate it best when its fun side is played up and its scary side is played down non-existant!  :)

So, on that note, my first Halloween card of the season is just that -- pure fun!  When I first saw this stamp set from The AlleyWay Stamps, I knew I had to get my hands on it!  It is too stinkin' cute!  And I just had to make it a little girlie…  :)  So here it is, my non-traditional take on Halloween!

{Sidenote:   If I have to be wrapped in cloth before I'm buried, will somebody puh-leeease put a big sparkly bow on my head?!?   I would be eternally grateful!  :)  }

This card was inspired by the color board over at The Alley Way Stamps Challenge.  I love the pinks and the greys!  For this card, I colored the mummy with Copics and distress-misted the background.  I was able to tie the color scheme together with some assorted Washi tape from my stash…

Hope you like it…  I always think it's fun to use unexpected colors for holidays that tend to have a pretty "traditional" color scheme.  You'll see me back again with more Halloween cards from this set -- it is too fun!  :)

Till then, holla back at your "ghoul!"  :)    ha!!
