A big congrats to Dbamesburg, the newest Featured Stamper (FS866)! She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the 1 layer style & left side arrangement but used different images, colors & made mine a Halloween theme instead of Christmas.
My mini slimline card started w/ a yellow/orange/purple background I made ages ago. It was done by spreading Marvy metallic markers onto a brayer, spritzing w/ water then rolling it across the white card stock. The colors seemed very Halloweeny to me, so I used the stencil & azure ink to sponge in the tree & background bats. For the moon, I sponged the stencil w/ 2 yellow inks onto a small piece of white, die cut it w/ circle die & attached it on top. I used another stencil to add the grass across the bottom to ground it.A few die cut purple bats were added on top as well as the tombstone & hand. A small piece of purple die cut grass was added across the bottom of the tombstone. I positioned the greeting tag so it would appear the hand was holding it.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & products: The Write Stuff

Julie, I love the fantastic scene you made with the new stencil set and the addition of the die cut elements. The background is fantastic. Spooky yet beautiful Halloween card.

Omigosh, I don't know how you got from the Christmas theme in the inspiration card to Halloween but it was one fantastic leap. That bg is awesome but it is your sponging, die cuts and layout that create this phenomenal card. Love every spec of it and that hand emerging from the grave and holding the sentiment is hilarious. Fabulous card.
