The Stamp Review Crew is featuring the Dry Brush Background stamp today. I used Halloween colors to create an eerie background complete with bats and a flying witch. The tree from Life Is Beautiful worked perfectly to anchor the scene. Halloween will be here before you know it and it is important to pick out just the right pumpkin!
If you missed Nikki's terrific work head back there......
Otherwise head onward to see Betty's delightful creations!
Hand Stamped Sentiments is having a Halloween Challenge this week.

Sweet card! Love the little witch broom tail flying away. Perfect way to use that background stamp! Yep, Halloween is all about picking out the perfect pumpkin...hope that she found a good one. We just got ours too!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw your card, I assumed you'd created that background by swiping the inkpad across the card, but it's a stamp? So very cool and clever!
ReplyDeleteLinda this is AWESOME! I love it and you gave me a great idea for my October daily too! Picking the right pumpkin is very important. My husband took me pumpkin shopping the other day he just didn't understand you can't just grab and go. haha
