October 2025 Halloween Colors

 Hello friends, we are into another month at
Love Those Pretty Papers  where you must use your designer papers.
Our OPTIONAL theme is Halloween Colors.

I opted to use a bit of purples and orange an make a more 'fall-ish'
card then a Halloween one due to the fact that from being on the TOB
team I have more then plenty of Halloween cards for the year.

I used a pretty plaid gold embossed paper from Memory Box
Gladiola Plaid that I won from them at one of their fun challenges,
die cut with a Waffle Flower Lacy Layers 2 die..
The image is (I think) is an old Flourishes stamp set that I first stamped
with Versamark them embossed with SNS Coffee EB powder.
The image was colored with Olo markers and the other pieces came from my 'spare parts' bin.

I have for my 'anything goes' card a cute and fun hen die cut and layered together
that I purchased from Cottage Cutz Folk Art Hen.  I used two different
pieces of paper from Carta Bella Country Kitchen, one piece being die cut with
Lattice Beauty Edger.  The sentiment is stamped on a Sizzix die and I added
a few bits of 'bling' to it.

I think she is pretty 'cool' hen and I love how colorful she is!
I have several of their folk art dies that I purchased at one of their
fabulous sales they have now and then.  Hope to see your Pretty Papers at our challenge too!

Entering the following challenges:
Crafty Cat Catz #701 .... ATG/Optional fall or Autumn Colors
Cut It Up Challenge .... Use More Then One Die
Craft Rocket #130 ....Fall/Halloween

Oh! Your harvest wheelbarrow is fabulous with the brightly colored bounty and the gorgeous plaid paper in the background. Pretty purple with the gold running through it. Of course, I'm totally smitten with your CC folk art chicken! LOVE the colors you used on her. And that paper is cluckin' awesome! I have the rooster and the bear I haven't used yet. I really wanted this chicken, but was being conservative. Why, oh why didn't I just get it? Maybe the next sale.
