2 Magnolia Halloween Cards

Hi there!

Last year was the first year I made Halloween cards, and that was mainly because I won an awesome candy with eight stamps from Motivet. Four of those were Halloween stamps and last year I only got to ink up two of those, so I still had some unused stamps… Nevertheless; when I was at Stempel-Mekka I couldn’t resist some sweet Tilda witches stamp and the Little Witch from Whiff of Joy (see previous post). For the record (if husband reads this  :lol: ) I didn’t have any witch stamps… ;-)

For the above card I followed the sketch from Just Magnolia, but I couldn’t join in as right before the deadline when I was about to link up my card, the Internet connection dropped. :-( Grrr…hate computers sometimes… Also for this second card I’ve followed a sketch, namely this week’s sketch from TOMIC. It’s a somewhat liberal interpretation of it though. :-)

  5. Hi Sandra, thanks for your lovely comment on my blog! Feel a bit brighter in myself today thanks.
    Aww what gorgeous cards! I really love these Tilda images, they are SO sweet! Love the peachy Autumny colours on the first one and the flowers and lace. It has a lovely soft vintage feel to it. The pumpkin charm is delish too! and you know I love Bold!! LOL. So love the dark black and purple on 2nd card. The spider web is awesome and I love, love those ghosts!!! Fab layout.
    The LOTV stamp ‘Trimming the Tree’ was from the first Christmas Launch this year in August. They have just had another one. They released a lot of stamps this year!!! I bought three stamps from each – had to limit myself but was SO hard choosing!!! ;-)
    Take care!
