Trick or Treat with GRS!


Happy Halloween!  I hope you're having a great Halloween weekend!  My son, Matthew, went to two parties on Saturday night and had a blast!  I will miss tonight's festivities...I have music practice that I can't afford to miss.  As much as I love to sing, I'll be sad to miss seeing all the little ghouls and goblins who will come trick-or-treating.  If I hadn't missed last week, and if our performance were not just around the corner, I would skip and stay home!

How would you like to do a little early trick-or-treating of your own? Comment on this post between October 31st and November 2nd to be eligible to win a Gourmet Rubber Stamps holiday treat!  Be sure to comment on each of our designers' posts as well, because each blog has a separate prize!  Winners will be announced on the GRS blog on Thursday.

This fun Hallow's Eve stick chick card embodies all I love about Halloween...bright colors, cute-but-not-too-scary images, and some sparkly embellishments!  I started out with a rectangle of Copic blending paper, stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored her with Copic markers.  After coloring the background with pale yellows and yellow-oranges, I sponged in some billowy gray-black clouds using a scalloped circle mask and soot distress ink, then finished with a spritz of orange Smooch.

All of the edges of the card stock and designer paper were sponged with soot distress ink.  I added a sparkly bat, and a quilled flower layered with glimmer ribbon, an orange button, a sparkly bone, and twine.
