The current Challenge Theme at the Impression Obsession Blog is Happy Haunting. What do you do when you don't really have any stamps that fit the theme? You get creative of course.
I decided I could use my Retro Masculine Die Cuts to create a fun costume. I went searching online for a ghost template that I could *disguise* for the holidays ... and I found this fun Pumpkin Carving Pattern that I could size for a 5 1/2" card.
I disguised him up with orange die cuts (you'd never know he was a ghost would you) and then added a sentiment from a vintage IO set by Tami Potter Life & Flowers (CL250).
The background is a new Gemstone embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers ... I love the 3-D spooky texture. With it, I'm joining linking-up at the Sweet Stampin' Challenge where the theme is Embossing.
Your ghost "disguise" is so cute Stephanie. I have this set but haven't used it. Thanks for the inspiration to use it in such a fun and clever way.
