WNW Trict or Treat?

12:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Hello all!! I hope you all are enjoying the same nice weather as we are here. It is nice and clear and crisp. No humidity and cool enough that you can go out with a sweatshirt and be comfortable. I love these days. I am enjoying them since this weekend appears that it will be much cooler and rainy. I went on a bike ride with my girls yesterday just to enjoy the weather.

Well it is time for another Wags n Whiskers challenge!!

This week's challenge is hosted by Jeanette

and her challenge is: Halloween!!

Now, this may seem like a hard challenge since we don't specifically have "Halloween" stamps.

But if you look at my uber talentedl Design Team sisters samples, you will see that just a minor change such as Purple, Orange, and Black colors or add a few spiders and ta-da...a Halloween card!!

A random winner will receive one free Wags 'n Whiskers stamp of your choice!!

But remember, you must use a Wags 'n Whiskers image (digi or rubber) to be entered into the drawing for the prize.

And if you would like to be a guest for our next challenge, add "DT" next to your name when you enter this week's challenge.

We don't celebrate Halloween as much here but creating cards for it is fun!! I used the adorable Wags n Whiskers Angel Whispers image illustrated by Crissy Armstrong and altered it to create a Halloween Witch scene. I added a sticker hat ( I never use stickers but this was perfect!!) and a broom. I did not use the flying butterflies from the original stamp but instead had her catch a Spider from the K&Co. Halloween paper. I used real stitching to adhere the glitter paper to the card and faux stitching on the top dp.

card recipe:
stamps: Wags N Whiskers-Angel Whispers image
Papers: K & Co. Halloween
Accessories: Stickers from stash, oval punches from SU, Classic and Scalloped circle nestabilities, copics, silver baubles, piercing tool
