Color Dare Challenge #468 ... Countdown to Halloween

This is another make for the



Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes!

This is today's colour scheme 


First of all I am going on a little trip down memory lane. My husband and I got married on Valentine's Day in the 70s, and our clothes are very much of the era.


As you can see my little bridesmaid had a Holly Hobbie outfit and carried a Hollie Hobbie doll

So my inspiration became related to Valentine's and carries on with my October Halloween theme. This is another page in my Halloween album.



I have chosen to use many of the colours in the above scheme ( I am sure you can see yellow, orange, brown, red, green), plus black and white.
The main image is a copy of one of my favourite ATCs using a 
Lost Coast real rubber stamp DOD AMOR


I have also used one of my favourite Noolibird stamps - the curled up cat - and another wood block mounted stamp (PSX - D-213) of pumpkins. I added colour with markers to this.

 The black cats are svg cuts from Black cats Silhouettes.



The sentiment is from Leigh's sentiments trimmed and distressed with vintage photo Distress Ink. Finally, I added a bit of penwork.

 

Hope you will join the Color Dare Challenge...

During October you will have seen many Halloween-y projects on my blog as I am joining in with

I will share this page to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity 31DOH Challenge too

And as always I like to add the skeletons hopping!


Happy Hopping!

    Loving the skelton couple dancing on your card and all the black kittens, especially the one curled up near the pumpkins. The sentiment is great and think your card is Halloween Spooky Cuteness. Please join us over at Double Trouble for our Halloween Cuteness, still open until Sunday.
