Greetings friends.  I love, love, love making fall cards and especially Halloween cards.  I thought the first card I made would not only be good for Halloween, but it could be used for a generic Fall card or an October birthday.

I started by making my own patterned paper using two Cover a Card backgrounds  The first was the Wood Plank stamped in grey and then the Dancing Leaves image was stamped on top with black ink.  These two stamps together in browns makes a beautiful background for Fall and leaves, but I wanted it to look a bit more in line for Halloween.

To finish the card, I added my Pumpkin from the Pumpkin Kisses clear set and colored it with some Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush.

Impression Obsession Items for Card 1:
CL979 Pumpkin Kisses
Checkered Frames Die DIE 805-YY
Wooden Plank Cover a Card CC177
Dancing Leaves Cover a Card CC294


For the second card, I used a brand new cover a card called Grunge Web to stamp my spider web before cutting it out with the stitched tag die.

Next, I colored my pumpkins with Copic markers and then added my ribbon and sentiment. Very simple!

Impression Obsession Items for Card 2:
Grunge Web Cover a Card CC363
Pumpkins clear set CL978 (the two pumpkins)
Fall Words clear set CL976 (boo)
Stitched Tag DIE 798-Y
