Halloween Hoot ........... Monkey 70: Halloween + Sketch


Have you checked out the Halloween Challenge at A La Card Monkey this week?  What a great sketch. I don't have a lot of Halloween stamps but I liked this sketch so much I thought I'd join in the fun.  I resurrected a retired Stampin' Up! set called "Halloween Hoot".

Frogs are stamped in Basic Black on Old Olive cardstock.  I restamped the frog's head  3 more times in Pumpkin Pie, Concord Crush and Old Olive so each frog would have a different colour hat.  The hats were glued on and the frogs were mounted with dimensionals to the Old Olive "lily pads".  The larger circle images and the bands across the card are in the same colours.  The black band was embossed with the Web Embossing folder.  A bit of green glitter was added for some bling. 

Inside layer of the card. 


If you're looking for some more Halloween ideas, challenges and fun  check out Shirley's blog where she's counting down the 12 weeks to Halloween.  Here's her blog address: Monday Monster Mash Halloween Blog Hop.
