Hello! Today, I am sharing a card in which I’ve combined several Penny Black supplies in a Halloween scene.
I die-cut the #51-571 Vintage Truck and assembled it. (This die set includes an evergreen tree die for a Christmas scene, which I plan to create in a few weeks.)
I stamped, colored with Copic marker, and fussy-cut the costumed hedgehog from the #30-592 Critter Costumes set and placed him (her?) into the assembled truck. The witch is off to a Halloween event.
The background was stamped with the Penny Black #40-254 Decadence background stamp (a stamp I’ve had for several years). I really like the feel the background gives to the scene. The sentiment was cut with a die in the #51-077 Eeek! die set.
What I like about this card: I really like transportation-themed dies and look for ways to use them in imaginative ways; I like the pairing of the elegant, formal background with the truck; I am particularly drawn to fall colors at the moment (more so than in previous falls, it seems) and like the gold, orange, and gray combination.
That cape on your hedgie is the perfect touch for this halloween card.
This one really made me smile, Jean! Fun sentiment, yummy background, and fabulous hedgehog witch riding in pick-up truck splendor!!
I read many blogs each morning and your blog was the only one that made me laugh! This is so cute. So fun the hedgehog is in the truck. I think it is a “her”. Have you ever seen a man with a broom?
Such an adorable card Jean – the hedgie is super cute. Love the colours too.
