The teapotters are sending cards to Ciara who loves halloween. She was in a terrible accident and needs some cheering up. Jen is our host!
I stamped the background tree in versamark and clear embossed. Diecut the raven on branch in brown and used black soot to color him. Sponged ripe persimmon above him and also on the ground. Stamped my sentiment in wilted violet on pumpkin pie (cut two of them). Left some bits in, instead of popping them all out and sponged around and inside it with more wilted violet. Everything glued down with tombow mono multi liquid glue.

And your card is spooktacular too. LOVE the embossed tree in the bg and that great raven die cut. And you got all the right Halloween colors in there. Cool sentiment die too. Wonderful card.

I love how you did this! The raven on that branch is so cool....the purple sparkly frame is awesome and the bits of die cut left in the sentiment are a fab detail.

Spooky and spectacular! Love the heat embossing. It looks perfect. I'm a fan of purple and blues together. The raven/branch with the amazing headline in orange is fantastic!!!

Shirl, you have designed the PERFECT card for Ciara ... not only does it just shout Halloween, which she loves, but it is just so gorgeous with your sponging, clear embossed tree, the wonderful branch and Raven, glittery mat and the spooktacular sentiment treatment!! I love it and so will Ciara!

That is a wow card, Shirl, and I'm not one who is into Halloween cards. The embossed tree is simply fantastic, I love your raven (for years our family had a pet jackdaw, a small crow), and the colour in the sentiment panel just glows, so rich and beautiful.

Love how you did the background and especially that raven on a branch. And the purple sentiment stamped on that cool orange die cut really stands out against the black background. Great card!!
