Just Us Girls #604 - Word Week

Carol is our host for Word Week at Just Us Girls and she has chosen an appropriate word for this time of year.

I don't know how many of you send Halloween cards but they sure are fun to make.  I send to my grand and great-grand children plus I have a friend whose birthday is October 31 so I love to make them.  I don't have a lot of Halloween stamps with me but I did buy a few while I was here and this is the card I made.


I also had to buy the TH Halloween mica spray stains and they make the background of my card.  I must say I think there is a learning curve to using them or else I spray too heavy but I still like how it turned out.  The cauldron and heat embossed sentiments are from MFT.  I sprayed the appropriately named "Bubbling Cauldron" for my brew and it's accompanying bubbles.  The panel was cut with MFT's wonky stitches and placed on a black card base.  

Our guest designer for the month of October is none other than Nora Noll.  Be sure to check out her fabulous Halloween card and those from the rest of the Design Team.  If you join our challenge you have a chance for a guest designer spot in an upcoming month.

Bobby... love your sprayed background! I own dozens of spray and often just make paper to have to use on other cards. The effect was perfect for this card!

I love your bubbling cauldron and that background looks fantastic! Love those white on black sentiment strips, too. I just might have to check out those Mica sprays.
