Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 26
The witch's cauldron is bubbling over. I wonder what concoction she has brewing this time? Maybe it is a love potion. The background is a gel print, with some embossing paste, stamping and gems. Lovely mixed media card for Day 26.
This witch is either very excited for Halloween or running scared from something. I'm not sure which it is. The background is a gel print with some stamping, thin washi tape for the 'ground' and a used dryer sheet again for texture.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 25
You're spooktacular and so is the ATC for Day 25! It is so detailed with so many tiny elements. The scarecrow does not seem to be able to do his job though. He is not frightening off the crows at all.
The card that I sent for today haunted house with a witch flying by on her broomstick. The background looks very textured due in part to the used dryer sheet but also from the layered gel print.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 24
Wow, today's card is fantastic! It is very detailed. From the painted and embossed background to the embossed Halloween ticket stapled on the top corner, it is a work of art. There is even white embossing to highlight the tree. Magnificent.
The ATC that I sent to my partner today features a scary witch with purple skin flying on her broomstick on Halloween night. I hope she stays away from my neighbourhood.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 23
Happy Boo Night to you too! The ghosts on this ATC were cut from vellum so they are translucent. What a great idea! I never thought of trying that. Sparkly embossing powder was used for the mouths, eyes and to outline their bodies. The little bat looks like he is enjoying some time with his friends.
The card I sent to my partner today has some 'velvet' ghosts and it looks like they might really be annoying that jack-o-lantern. He's just wishing they would come close enough to him to catch.

Halloween Howl 2026 - Day 22
People are scared of things that are different, very true. And people are also suspicious of people and things that do not conform with the 'normal' standards. The young girl on the ATC from my partner today looks like any number of young people I see when I am out and about. LOL What a super, cool background this card has too!
The card I sent to my partner for Day 22 has a collaged background of various papers topped with some Tim Holtz tissue paper. That wicked witch is brewing something up and I don't think it's chicken soup!
