Die Cuttin' Divas Halloween Challenge

Do you have your pumpkins carved?

Are your little ghosts and goblins ready for Saturday night?

Better get that candy stash!

We are getting in on the Halloween fun this week. Our challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas  is Halloween.

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest to create my own easel card to be used with a battery operated tea light.

I used three separate cut files from the Silhouette store to design this card.  I used elements from Easel Card Spooky by Snapdragon Snippets - Design ID #22008, I used one of the ghosts from Ghost set by Sarah Bailey - Design ID #67942,  and I used the Boo from Cobweb Card by Jennifer Wambach - Design ID #32717.

Of course, I did a lot of resizing and adding the ghost to several layers of the card. I am happy with the final result.

Supplies used: card stock - black, white, orange; patterned papers is a scrap from my stash, vellum, Silhouette Studio cut files, tea light.

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Hope to see you playing along with us!!!!
