Sketchy Halloween

This week's challenge at Less is More is a SKETCH

I flipped the sketch for this one.

I used the new Hand Penned Holidays set from the Holiday Mini.  It has 4 fantastic stamps in the set. 

The pumpkin is 3 punched wide ovals.  I shaded a bit with a sponge dauber and ink and used the marker to draw some more lines.  The stem is an embosslit.

And still in the Halloween theme.....

I hope this is CAS enough.  I had this little piece of background paper that had been done in the Faux Polished Stone technique.  I stamped the cat and tree in black and colored them in with the marker to get them really dark.  The grass is just sketched.  Then I punched it with the 2 1/2" circle punch. The sentiment is an from an old hostess set.

I embossed about 3/4 of a piece of pumpkin pie cardstock, leaving about 1 1/2" unembossed for the sentiment.  The black ribbon is some twill tape from my sewing box.  I distressed the bottom a bit too.  I'm not sure if that really shows in the picture.

For someone who doesn't do Halloween cards, I've outdone myself with them this year.  I have one more class with Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving cards coming up too.  I guess the grandchildren will wonder what got into their ole Nana!  Maybe they'll share their candy with me.

By the way, congratulations to Chrissie and Mandi on over 700 submissions last week.  That's amazing!  And the submissions are just as amazing. And they commented on almost all of them. Go on over and take a peek if you want some inspiration.  Even better, make a card for this week's challenge and share it.

Thanks so much for stopping in.  I appreciate all the wonderful comments you have been leaving and have enjoyed visiting with you.

Enjoy,
