Is it too early for a Halloween card?

I know it's hard to think about Fall when its in the 90's out in the Carolina's but I could not resist this cute Halloween stamp set by My Favorite Things. I stopped everything I was doing and had to make this card. (Ok, I made 4 Halloween cards for my stash) Stacey Yacula drew these stamps and I love all of her stamps!! I also got these 2 Tucked In Turf dies from My Favorite Things for the grass. I couldn't decide on the horizontal or vertical so I had to get both. They have tiny blades of grass cut out in 3 places so the characters can go "under" or "behind" the grass. (see pic #2) Is it not genious? Anyway, I had fun doing this galaxy background using my Distress Oxide inks and I used white acrylic paint for the "stars".  You can see the background done here. These trick or treaters are just soooo cute!!!

Sentiment is embossed with WOW white embossing powder

In the top pic, I just inked up the Oxide inks
onto a piece of watercolor cardstock.
In the bottom pic, I added black soot over top
and the white acrylic paint I used a
toothbrush to get the splatters so
it would look like a "galaxy".
It did take me a few tries but I am very happy
with the results :).
