Halloween Swap

Good morning!  Today I have a card to share that I made for a Halloween swap I participated in on Splitcoaststampers.  You've seen this cute little Trick or Treat Ghost from Peachy Keen Stamps before in one of my tutorials.  I took all of those samples and used them for this swap.  That just worked out brilliantly, because I had just enough samples for this 5 +1 swap.   

 I used my argyle Cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the front of this card, then I swiped the top of it with some white craft ink to make it stand out a little bit more.  I used my Nestabilities label die for cutting out the image, and I took my Zig Painty pen (silver side) around the edge of the black to give it a metallic look.  The little ghost was stamped with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored with my Copic markers. The patterned paper comes from a Recollections paper pad, and I used my Martha Stewart cobweb border punch for the purple accent piece.  The only embellishment on this cutie is the polka dotted grosgrain ribbon from Stampin Up!

I'm so excited about the new releases at Peachy Keen Stamps, and tomorrow is the big reveal day!  Don't miss it, because there'll be lots of prizes, and oodles of inspiration for you!!!  Hope to see you then!!

Have a blessed and beautiful day!  Happy Stamping!!
Love ya,
