A Bit Of Boo

A little bit of not real scary boo today!  I'm the worlds worst when it comes to making Halloween cards and then getting them mailed on time.  I usually wait until the week before and then rush around trying to do them for the grand kiddos.  Most of the time I just say to heck with it and save them thinking I'll send them next year.  Of course when 'next year' finally gets here I forget I have them and then rush around again trying to make more.  Ah......such is life!  So.......this year I decided to make them early, get them stamped and addressed, and maybe even stick them in the mail before Halloween! 

I used an 'older than dirt' CTMH  Halloween stamp (Hocus Pocus) on this doing a little masking in order to get the fence in there too.  The clouds were sponged in with some Hero Arts Shadow ink.  The ghosts were stamped, cut out, and popped up.  I love the smiling faces on the ghosts - and that makes it a not real scary boo card.  They remind me of Casper the friendly ghost!  I just loved that little guy.

This will be my third and final entry in Darnell's NBUS challenge.  A fun challenge with already a slew of entries!  Although I've used the ghosts and house before on a card I've never used the fencing - mainly because I never could get it to stamp right.  Enter the Misti, and the fence was a breeze!


Thanks for stopping by........

    These are the happiest ghosts I've seen. You did an amazing job on your sky and Yay for the Misti. I still have many Halloween cards here that I forget to send in to donate last year, so hopefully I'll get them out on time this year. LOL Enjoy your day.
