The Witch is ALWAYS In!

Happy Friday!Just a few more days until Trick or Treating begins! I'm so ready! I love Halloween w/ the fun costumes and cute little kiddos. I used to answer the door in full costume but the witch outfit I had one year scared a really cute little girl, so I had to put it away. The next year I had a pirate outfit and I sewed a stuffed parrot to one shoulder. My real parrot got very upset and he attacked it. So I had to put it away, too. One year I was a saloon girl and I had a really big feather headdress on and I had to open the sunroof to get home, lol. On the way, I passed Tonto and the Lone Ranger on horseback. How cool is that?
I needed a couple more quick Halloween cards and I had this new die that cuts these really cute witch legs and hat. Just perfect for the Witch is In greeting. Since I thought it looked cute to have her standing there w/ her legs crossed, I needed a skirt for her. The new Icicles image to the rescue! I think they make the perfect ragged skirt. For the black "slip" underneath, I used pinking shears and a pair of fringing scissors (the have multiple blades).On the second card, I used a different layout and since I had to cut one witch out of orange and another out of black, I used the opposite colors. I also added a spider web and a little different treatment for the sentiment.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a Spooky Halloween!

Really cute cards. Very creative way to use the stamps.
Holy cow! This might be my favorite card of yours...Ever! Super smart and creative and I love those witch legs! Loved reading about your costumes too :)
Cute Halloween cards. I really like how you used the icicles stamp for her skirt! Way clever of you!!
VERY clever!! I love how you got 2 for 1 too! I can see so much attitude in the crossed legs!
I've always believed a Halloween costume should be comfortable. My favorite? I made a cell phone out of a couple of foldable net laundry carriers from the dollar store. I just slip it on over black sweats!
Aren't you the clever girl!!!! This is really delightful with her icicle skirt. Great colors...you rock.
Love how you used the icicles and that witch die cut is perfect!
What a great idea, Julie (uising the icicles for the skirt) LOVE the die cut and this card - PERFCT for the season!!! Fabulous work and congratulations on being the SCS Featured Stamper!
