Trick or Treat--Retro Style!

Hello everyone! I'm back! Bronchitis got the best of me there for a while, but I've got my meds and I'm up and running! Or rather, up and stamping!!! :) Here are the two fabulous challenges I'm entering this evening:



So, I wanted to make a fabulous Halloween card! Those colors OBVIOUSLY scream Halloween, as does the black magic technique! It was just fate...

Here's what I came up with~

I wanted to use the black magic technique with the sentiment. I stamped the "Trick or Treat" in white on a black background and then used crayons to color it. I also wanted to use some way cute hounds-tooth paper that I've had for a while to create a retro pumpkin. Of course I added a bunch of bling to finish it off!

Here's a close up of the black panel~

Thanks for popping over to take a peek! I love your comments--they make my day! I hope you've been inspired to create something retro today! Perhaps a punched pumpkin?! Hope you have a spookily fun and crafty Halloween! Happy stamping!
