Halloween In July

Ok, so this little gem took on a life of its own while I was coloring this cute little Victoria Case stamp called Magical Sophie. Now maybe it was the name of the stamp, or maybe it was the colors that I chose while coloring her, but this card ended up being one of the coolest Halloween cards I've ever made.

Now you all know how much I adore Halloween (don't you?), so isn't this image PERFECT for me!?! I had a blast coloring her too! Although I'm decided that I need to find the perfect paper for Copic coloring. I've been using Gina K, but with the amount of ink that I "lay down", I'm finding that the Gina K paper isn't holding all the ink that I use. I'm starting to get some pooling... which you can kind of see on this card here. I was just told about some Xpress-It paper (out of AU) that is supposed to work a lot better, but unfortunately, its not here in the US yet! DANG IT!!! I need to get my hands on some GOOD paper to use with my Copics. That's the new quest! I'll keep you updated....

Well, I think I'm done babbling today. Be sure to head over to The Town Scrapper and check out all the wonderful design creations from our Oh-So-Talented Scrapettes. The Town Scrapper is currently running some specials so feel free to kick Phebe (the owner of The Town Scrapper) an email at info@townscrapper.com.

awesome card Danielle, love those Halloween colors, such a shame they are only associated with Halloween as I love that color combo. Great job on the coloring, and love that Ms punch border.
