Shoot! I hate when I forget what day it is…
Today is the Waltzingmouse Blog Party, and I really wanted to make sure I played along… and I had a publication reject that I knew would fit today’s colour theme perfectly. But I have to photograph my cards differently for submission than I like them for my blog… in short, please forgive the un-imaginative photo!
Today’s party is a colour challenge. and the colours are decidedly Halloween, if you ask me… even if Lynn said they didn’t have to be! *wink*
I created some halloween tags last year for my girls, so of course I still have them. I decided to re-purpose them and create a card using one as a focal point.
Some old Basic Grey paper worked for my background, and in case you can’t tell, I glittered my focal image to give it some vintage appeal.
Sorry for the terrible photo, but I am glad I managed to play along! Thank you so much for stopping by!
