I'm supposed to be painting........


Hi there,  this is a little Halloween Card I put together this morning when I was supposed to be painting.  Just a matter of what truly is important. :-)  I made the pumpkins out of circles and ovals, just another little trick my daughter taught me.  You can put these together really quickly using your punches or the cricut.  You need three circles or ovals to make each one.  Inking the edges helps give them more dimension.  The trees were from the cricut cartridge Stretch your imagination, and the spiders were from Doodlecharms.  The cat is a stamp from the stamp set Wicked (CTMH).  The wording I'm not sure of, but you could use the computer to come up with that.  The fold of the card is a side step card.  Lots of fun to make but it still took  me three tries to get it right.  So I won't be of any help with the pattern.  Just go to You Tube and punch in side step card and from there you should get some very good directions. 

Thanks for stopping by today,  have a great day,  I think I had better go paint something!!!!
Sending smiles your way, Joanie

    Beyond COOL! This card has definite appeal. And it's clean and very attractive.

    You know, this month there's a special going on for new CTMH independent consultants. :-)
