So let me show my fourth inspiration card for the month of October...

To make this card,  I used Shery Russ Designs - Yuletide Cheer and an old set Oh Christmas tree This time the focus was creating whimsical winter scene with patterned papers:)
All I did was some die cutting to create now hills (using PPP Stitched Border -1 die), then I stamped and fuzzy cut the gingerbread house using a patterned paper and also cut out some triangles in blue patterned papers to create the trees. I also added some candies (using Dee's Artsy Impressions - Party mates set) On the card base I stamped the snowflakes (using Vignette Christmas block) in pink and adhered all the elements together to finish my card.

I wanted to a really spooky card and I had just the right stamps for it :). Here's my card...

 

To make this card,I emossed the skull from STAMPlorations Boo! stamp set on a water color card panel which was die cut using SSS stitched rectangle dies. Then I stamped the text BG using STAMPlorations Mixed Media Elements set and water colored it in black. To finish the card I added the sentiment and and did some spritizing :)
I am sharing this at CAS-ual Friday's Stamps #144 - Tac Tac Toe (I did stitching, spritzing and embossing), Freshly made sketches #209 and AAA cards #50 - CAS Halloween
