Hello! I generally like Halloween for giving out candy, not too scary for me, so I liked making this candy themed Halloween card.
I stamped the candy wrappers first to get them mostly even in the background, filled in with the little stars, then I used three colors of Distress Oxide ink to do the centers. I don’t think you can see in in the photos, but I added Wink of Stella to the candy wrappers, and it really looks good!!
I also used Distress Oxides for the colored border on the green tag, lining it with thin pieces of black cardstock scraps. The ribbon is left over from a gift I received. It is going a long way as I used it on a card last week as well, with plenty leftover.
Supplies: Close to My Heart September Just Treats Stamp set, Versafine Black ink, Distress Oxide Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron and Wilted Violet inks, Gina K Jelly Bean Green cardstock, Tim Holtz tag dies, Wink of Stella clear glitter pen, other supplies from my stash.
I would love to enter this card into Cute Card Thursday’s Halloween Challenge, Stampendous 31 Days of Halloween Challenge and Pixie’s Snippets Playgroud #337 -Anything Goes with Scraps. Thank you for inspiring us with your blog challenges!

Super card Heidi! I love that it's not dark and spooky as well!
Halloween is really catching on here in the UK - at least where we live anyhow! Like you, I love giving out the treats and it's a really fun evening when the kids come calling. Not sure what little Dudley will make of it though!
