Just Us Girls Challenge #557~Trend Week...Ombre Halloween Ghosts Slimline

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #557, where Lisa, this week's hostess, has selected OMBRE as our Trend Week theme.  


Once again, we're delighted to have Karen Walker as our guest designer, with a lovely ombre green stripes card. It's a 'must see', as are all those by my teammates:  Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa, and Maria. If you have a chance to leave comments, that would be wonderful!

My card is 110% a case inspired by super talented @e_emilsson (instagram); her ability to transform a single stamp/die set into several innovative versions is amazing. She certainly knows  how to maximize her products!  When I saw one of her Halloween cards (I can't give a link with new Blogger, sighhhh), I knew I had to replicate it because a) it's adorable and b) I'm in full-fledged Halloween mode.  What you see are three little ombre background scenes, using a mini Tim Holtz bricks stencil and the adorable Mama Elephant Boo Agenda ghosts.  Yes...I copied Eleanor, with a couple small twists (ink blending rather than water-colour and different ghosts), but...when I see something that makes me happy, that's what I do!


Stage turned over to you!
Looking forward to seeing your ombre creations in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

  5. Not sure what is left to say to my Slimline Halloween card making Queen! Love that you chose purple for the brick! Gosh, I wish we were neighbors! You wouldn't be able to get rid of me...I would want you to teach me all that you know and to play with all of your goodies!

  8. It looks like Casper and all his friends have come for a visit. Darling card, Carol. I'm trying to get into Halloween mode and I only have a short time to get 10 cards done. I wish I had some patterned paper to help me along since I don't have any cute stamps like this.
