Though this looks more complicated than the previous card, it's another quick one using patterned papers from the same product line. Choosing a very small pattern size allowed me to use one piece as a thin layer behind the larger, word patterned piece of paper. Even the bat was cut from a piece of patterned paper, consequently perfectly matching the other papers used. Though the sentiment was stamped in Versafine Ink for a sharp finish, the moon was edged with Distress Black Soot for a softer look.
On this card I used an acrylic sentiment stamp. Though it is linear, I was able to curve it so that it perfectly fit in the space I had. Acrylic border stamps can also be adjusted in this way. This is one advantage of acrylic stamps over rubber stamps.
This is the first of many Hallowe'en cards I plan to share. I appreciated how rhinestones were used on Jeanne S.'s (sorry, can't make out her last name) to emulate the sparkle of the moon. I traced a circle with a pencil to provide an outline for me to adhere the embellishments. The small pattern in the paper allowed me to stamp the image/sentiment over it.
Here I have stamped the floral images on the background and layered the same stamped images that have been die cut over the background. More inspiration from Dawn McVey.
Found inspiration for this card @ http://damasklove.blogspot.ca/. I liked how the sentiment was stamped on both the die cut image and the oval to which it was adhered.
Another great idea from Dawn McVey @ http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/. I often forget how much I like coloured ink stamped on coloured cardstock. Papertrey Ink makes dies to match their stamp images. They are, however, solid, requiring the die cuts to be made first and stamped second.
I've used the same set of stamps from Papertrey Ink to create a one layer card. Got my inspiration from Becky Carafa @ http://www.lakeshorestamper.com/
This time I used two solid images from Papertrey Ink, one freshly ink and one stamped off. I highlighted the stamped off image with a marker, as done on the previous day's card. 
This is my version of a card made by Debby Hughes http://limedoodle.blogspot.ca/ 
Just as with the previous card, I chose my Distress Ink colours based on the ribbon I planned to use as a border.
Now that things are somewhat back to normal I can start card making again. Spent this afternoon finishing up a few cards that I started over the summer. One more to complete and then I'm moving on to Hallowe'en cards. Thanks for bearing (sp?) with me.
