Welcome back to the Fab Friday challenge over at the
Fab Friday Challenge Blog! This week we have a sketch challenge. I’m steadily working my way through all the new stamps I bought recently, so I grabbed Penny Black Stack O’ Lanterns for this sketch. I can’t resist those cute little hedgies, and I haven’t made a Halloween card yet this year!
This sketch worked really well for one of the stamps in this set. Lookie:
STINKIN’ CUTE!!! I stamped the hedgie stamp and colored it with Copics.
I originally did this as a daylight scene, but I deepened the blue of the background to make it a night scene instead and added some stars with a white gel pen.
This is a bit more embellished than I have been doing lately! I added some May Arts black webbing ribbon that I had in the stash for the leaf shapes that come out behind the oval. For the greeting, I stamped using a greeting from another Penny Black set, Halloween Treat. To cut it out, I used the new Sentiment Labels dies from Simon Says Stamp. I love these because I’m always looking for the perfect banner die, and these dies allow me to create any size with either one of two fishtail ends.
I can’t believe it’s almost October. I’m ready though, because I have Penny Black Stack O’ Lanterns to make lots of Halloween cards!
Below is my list of products that I used, and I have used compensated affiliate links where they were available, as I now participate in affiliate programs for Simon Says Stamp, Amazon, Ellen Hutson LLC, Scrapbook.com, Gina K, Hallmark Scrapbook, My Favorite Things, Sizzix, and Blick Art Supplies.
Buying through these links costs you nothing extra but gives me a small percentage of the purchase price, which helps support my blog and my artistic endeavors, and I thank you.

This card seriously rocks my world. I love how well it’s saturated with colour.
