Trick or Treat!

I just had to satisfy my desire to stamp some Halloween cards today! And here they are! The card on the left uses non traditional colors: (hey, stampers do that all the time with Christmas cards, why not Halloween?) Gable Green and Taken With Teal and some Pumpkin Pie to make it legit! The Gable Green DSP with thin stripes and dots in Taken With Teal is SU, but I don't know the name. It was from a time when their papers were one sided, so it is quite old! Stamps from three different SU sets were used: the main image is from Tableau of Terror, the gnarly tree is from House of Haunts, and the sentiment is from Tasty Sweets. The main image is popped up with dimensionals.

The card on the right is more in tune with typical Halloween colors, although the base is Lovely Lilac. Once again I do not know the name of this SU DSP, but it is also quite old, as the design is printed on just one side. The image is from the set Eat, Drink, and Be Merry and has a wee pumpkin brad added to the brim. The image was cut out so that part of it is outside the circle shape. Then it was layered onto a scallop circle and popped up with dimensionals. Above the image are three shaped eyelets: bat, cat, and ghost placed on a wide oval punchie. The ribbon is SU Pumpkin Pie striped grosgrain.

Off to stamp some more!
