Hello! Just popping in with a Halloween card today. I had a Ruby Tuesday post ready to go yesterday, then something went wrong with my blog, email, the whole shebang, and the post didn’t happen. I thought about posting Ruby Tuesday today, Wednesday, but that just seemed so wrong. I mean, you can’t do a Tuesday post on a Wednesday, can you? So here I am today with a Halloween card I made for a little girl.
This is a Peachy Keen stamp called Cat in the Jack. I knew my friend would be asking for Halloween cards for her very young grandchildren and, though I haven’t been searching exhaustively, I haven’t come across many Halloween stamps I found fitting for the preschool crowd. So, when I saw this at CHA, I grabbed it. This is a 5 1/4” square card, so you can see it’s a rather large stamp.
I colored with Copic markers and used some retired Stampin’ Up! Halloween papers in the layout. The decorative text trim is from a package I picked up at Archivers, which will probably last me for years.
It certainly is colorful, isn’t it? Fun, though. It’s the kind of card that keeps me smiling while I’m working on it. I hope it brings you a smile, too. Have a great day!
That is so cute!! I'm sure the recipient will just love it :)

Leslie - Leslie - Leslie. Your pumpkin and kitty card is over the top wonderful! Your coloring is par excellence, my friend. My daughter is smitten with grey kittens and would be overjoyed with a card like this. Would you be willing to make another one like this and sell it to me please? I'll gladly pay you on Tuesday for a hamburger today.

That is an absolutely adorable card! And your coloring and shading are PERFECT! Wow, what a great card. I love it!
For preschool Halloween stamps, check out the Penny Black line. There are some cute ones there! (and not creepy!)
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
:D
