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. 

Colors

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!

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  3. 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 😉

  4. It’s a win when cards come out as you had imagined! This is super cute. Love all the different witch’s feet!
