It’s Color Week at Just Us Girls Challenge:
The colors–purple, black, and orange–seemed custom-made for a Halloween card. This time, the design I envisioned ended up looking exactly as I imagined it.
I started by stamping and coloring with Copic markers the three sets of witches’ feet in purple, black, and orange. The stamps and coordinating die are from a Hero Arts set “Witch Feet.” After diecutting the feet, I die cut three circles with Simon Says “Stitched Circle” dies in a piece of orange patterned paper from an old American Crafts 6X6 paper pad. I adhered that to a piece of purple cardstock and trimmed both to leave a narrow border on the black card base.
I arranged all three sets of witches’ shoes in front of the die cut circles.
The sentiment is from a Make-It-Market kit from Papertrey Ink, “Halloween Pin-ups,” and couldn’t be more perfect! I die cut that with a Pinkfresh Studio, “Worthy Frames.”
I haven’t decided yet how many Halloween cards I’ll be making this year. My three granddaughters seem perfectly happy to share a card, but Caleb and Hannah definitely want cards of their own. Here’s the first one, and I have a second one in mind for a challenge that popped up on my radar a couple days ago. We’ll see how time and inspiration work out this year!
That’s a fun card! Perfect for the colourway you needed to use. There isn’t a tradition of Hallowe’en cards here and, truth be told, I’m hoping that Hallowe’en passes by very quietly and unobtrusively this year. Does that make me a kill-joy? I hope not :(. Those little boots are delightful and reminded me of a pair I used to have in my late teenage years, though I’d never have dared wear them with purple and orange!
I think who ever receives this card is going to have a smile very wide. Halloween is fast becoming a big debate … like Alexa I just hope it quietly fizzles out this year; forecast is for rain & snow sleet!
Halloween cards is about ALL the Halloween I want this year! …I will be sending cards to my grandsons and that is ALL! (of course they won’t be nearly as cute as your cards 😉
Love this card! Love the 3 circles with the witches feet looks great! Nice job with this week’s challenge.
It’s a win when cards come out as you had imagined! This is super cute. Love all the different witch’s feet!
Those witch’s feet are so cut and colorful, Karen, and the card design uses them perfectly. Perfect sentiment too.
Fabulous halloween card Karen. Love the different coloured witches feet and that awesome striped background. Great layout.
