Here is the partner card to yesterday--same pattern paper but this time with a little girl in mind.
The witch was cut at 3 1/2". I used blue brads for the eyes and a basic Grey brad for the belly button. Instead of paper ribbons I used raffia. The white paper was punched with the fiskers bracket edge punch and than stamped using a sentiment from the "a haunting we will go collection" from the Pink Cricut stamp collection.
I finished the inside with a strip of paper and a stamp from the CTMH 'Thriller" collection! (one of the blog candies this week). Simple but perfect for a girl who is not into scary halloween things.
Total side note--if you are intrested in making cards for our troops for the holidays--Michael's has all of their card packs (value pack cards) for 40% off. This is an expensive way to make a lot of cards with out the extra cutting and folding--I say this as my brother is getting ready to deploy to the middle east. I have a Challange coming in November that will send some love to our troops. It is amazing how far any message from home can make it the best holiday possible since they have to be away from their family--
Make it a great one!

Totally cute card! I'm loving the use of the brads for eyes and belly button! I'm going to have to scraplift the rafia idea too! TFS!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card, Bryan!!! :) I'm liking the nontraditional Halloween colors! There are so many cool sentiment stamps on the market that seem to coordinate with the Cricut cartridges.
ReplyDeleteI am busy donating cards to hospice patients, but I would love to do something for the troops, too (I'll keep an eye out for your challenge)! You must be proud of your brother!
Crafty hugs,
