Beware!

This is my favorite time of year, the temps are finally getting a little cooler, I can wear my sweaters without people thinking I am nuts (I am always cold), and Halloween is just around the corner. Some of my most favorite stamps are my Halloween stamps.

I got to make a card recently for the A Muse News blog using their Haunted Mansion stamp which I combined with the Bat Trio, Big Dot Bl, and Beware. I had tons of fun working on this card!

I stamped the Big Dot Bl with Yellow Citrus Colorbox ink to make the moon, then I stamped the Bat Trio with Stazon Jet Black ink over top. The Haunted Mansion was also stamped in Stazon Jet Black ink and colored with Prismaclor Pencils and Gamsol. The edges were lightly inked with Rangers Black Soot Distress ink so a kind of spooky night look. I also used a distress tool on the green cardstock. I stamped Beware with Stazon Jet Black ink and then cut it out with the Nestabilities tag trio dies. I used an A Muse Black Kitchen note card for my card.

*** A Muse News *** Operation Hero Mail is now available!!! You can get you stamp kits here. 

As we all know, many US military personnel are currently overseas serving our country. These brave men and women miss home terribly. For many, a letter from home means the difference between hope and despair.  Correspondence from home is the MOST requested item from most military personnel.  Sadly, many of those stationed overseas never receive regular correspondence from home. 

A Muse has teamed up with Operation Troop Aid to put a handmade card of appreciation in the hands of as many deployed military men and women as possible. The mission of Operation Troop Aid is to make a positive difference and inspire deployed U.S. service members by letting them know America stands with them. (Taken from the A Muse News blog)
