♥PINK♥ halloween

one of my favorite groups of crafty blogging ladies happens to be the sisterhood of snarky stampers, and one of my favorite challenges they have each year is ♥PINK HALLOWEEN♥!!! so here's my card:

patterned paper: basic grey; black glitter cardstock: doodlebug; pink glitter cardstock: making memories; adorable spider mini brads: eyelet outlet; heart stamp: hero arts; scribbly alphabet stickers: sticko; chipboard alphas: thickers/american crafts; pens: faber-castell pitt artist pens in 1.5, S and XS nibs; ink: ranger archival and colorbox chalk; adhesive: sewing machine

ok, so, yes, my eyelet outlet mini spider brads are making another appearance, because i really love them! and also because, frankly, i don't actually own allllllllllll that much halloween stuff. i do own quite a few pens, though, and i was happy to have an excuse to try out my other arachno-centric halloween card idea, which involved doodling a zentangle-inspired web. which was absolutely as much fun as i hoped it might be, so you'll no doubt be seeing this idea again. like next halloween, i'm guessing. :)

i had so much fun with this part of the card that it wasn't until quite near the end that i realized i hadn't actually *STAMPED* anything. so the hearts are admittedly a bit of a retro-fit, but they kind of tie the card together, and focus the eye on the sentiment, so i'm callin' it a win.

i'd also like to join the fun with the simon says stamp monday challenge: halloween 

as well as the paper players' theme challenge #315: halloween

meanwhile, the unicorn challenge blog's current theme of "pretty pinks or halloween" suits me for both options, lol, so woohoo!

please hop over and see the amazing cards from the sisterhood of snarky stampers and link up your own ♥PINK HALLOWEEN♥ card!
