Happy Halloween!

Halloween is getting so close! We do a pumpkin pal gift exchange among the teachers at school. It is similar to secret santa, but through the month of October. Friday is the final gift exchange and pumpkin pal reveal. I drew the name of a friend that I give cards to often so I had to refrain from giving her a card with each gift so I wouldn't give away my identity! This card is going with her final gift. The sketch comes from the Try Stampin' on Tuesday Challenge #293. Here is the sketch and the materials I used:

  • October 31st paper pack by Doodlebug Design
  • Bubbles embossing folder by Taylored Expressions
  • Halloween Party stamp set by Impression Obsession
  • memento ink- tuxedo black
  • coordinating sequins and ribbon
