RRBC25 Challenge Entry

This is my first entry for a challenge on Retro Rubber Challenge blog and I am so happy I was introduced here today. Having to use stamps that are at least a year old is pretty easy for someone who only buys twice a year and tends to go with the older sets.

On with my card. The background paper, pumpkin sticker, tree, bats and bird stamps are all from Oriental Trading Co Halloween collections with manufactured dates of 4/13. The skeleton is also an older stamp purchased 8/14 in a craigslist buy. I had fun and heat embossed the skeleton with Whispers White, the tree with Whispers Copper, fence, birds and bats with Whispers Black.  I hope you enjoy my project.

    What a fun Halloween card! I have to agree with Christine about the very cool skeleton. However, my fav is the pumpkin.... he is smiling! Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber. Hope to see you in the gallery often!

    I have to agree with Katy and Christine here - this is a very fun Halloween card. The details are fab. I too love the Pumpkin (I'm biased though, as I love anything Pumpkin related..) Thanks for playing with us at Retro Rubber. Claire DT

    Thank you Katy, I really am not a halloween person (can't even watch commercials of horror films) but this was fun, and yes the smile made me happy.

    Thank you so much Claire, for sure I will stick around, a great portion of my stamps are older (craigslist buys) and I just started stamping last year I like to have a fun place to use them.
