I had this fun little witch digital stamp from my time as a Design Team member at Pattie G's a few years ago, and I thought she would be perfect for this project.

All of the patterned papers are from Doodlebug Design's Boos & Brews collection.  I used some Stickels to enhance the stars and smoke a little, and I found the cute little pom-poms at my local Dollar Tree.  Both sentiments and the image on the inside are from Bug Bites.

Stinkin' Inkers October Challenge

Oh my goodness!!!  For whatever reason, my first post as part of the Stinkin' Inkers Design Team didn't show up, and I JUST realized it!  So sorry, scrappy folks!!!

The theme for the October Challenge at Stinkin' Inkers is Monster Mash.  We want you to create a project using a monster; for example, you could use ghouls, goblins, witches, mummies, space aliens, etc. as your focus.  I found a digital stamp in my collection that I thought was perfect for this challenge!

I used the current sketch at Your Next Stamp as my basis:

and my card also happened to follow the color portion of the challenge:

You Got This!

One of my son's teachers and a church friend recently learned that her breast cancer (which she had beaten!) has metastisized. :-(  When I found the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, I knew I needed to make a card that I hope will cheer her up!

Here's my take:

I hope this puts a bright spot in her day!
