So I printed out the image and cut the image out using the stitch die from My favorite things.. I wanted to do that so I could draw a circle around the image to look like the moon.. in person it's a moon look with grays and light yellow, but on the computer it just looks white..

I thought this would be a great time to make a Halloween birthday card. I have the perfect image for that sassy lass.
I am having a blast lately using scraps to create backgrounds.. I haven't made a dent in the scraps but it's fun knowing they are being used and getting some fun backgrounds. I used Recollection scraps. I then used Spellbinder rectangle die to cut the image out. I also cut out some Newton's nook bats. The sentiment is from Paper pretties and Simon Says.. They are heat embossed. I colored the image with copics and used some Spectrum Noir sparkle pen. I went around the edges with Quick Quote chalk ink.  I know there are fall birthdays.. Mine is in Nov. So decided to make this a birthday card.

This is Goth Girl.. I went through my Recollections designer paper and I had quite a few cut up scraps so I just grabbed them and laid out the pieces then adhered them to the card. I love pieced backgrounds.. I colored the image with copics and then added her to a black background and adhered to the base. I had one bat and one cloud left over on my desk from last week so I picked them up and added to the card. I wasn't sure what sentiment so looking at the Simon Says stamp set I chose the Miss Thang.. I thought it kinda fit.. I die cut the Hello four times and layered it. boy for someone who doesn't care for Halloween I am tested this month. lol.. I do love the colors and this image is so cute.
