Like Anita, I don't send out Halloween cards, except to maybe my granddaughters and I don't do scary so I hope this will do for Halloween. I do have some fun stamps but given that I also included this for today's TLC (sponge edges in different colors, maybe use stencils), I decided to go for this slightly scary pumpkin. I don't remember who makes this set of pumpkin stamps, they're clear. I used two different stencils, sponged with SU smoky slate all the way around and then sponged over with four different inks. Then I masked that sponging and sponged into the rectangle on the edges of that. I added dark purplish gems to the pumpkin. Thanks to Beverly and Misti.

What a perfectly marvelous image of the pumpkin. Love the stenciling done in the four colors, Jean!

This is absolutely perfect! I don't send many Halloween cards either but my mom sends them to her 10 grandkids and so I had to make a few for her. I love the colors on this card too.

Good stencilling and I love that pumpkin. It's not too scary.

I really like the sponged edges against the neutral black, gray and white - really draws the eye to the focal panel. Nice touch of sparkle with the gems. Great card!
