Can you believe it.... Halloween is only a few weeks away. I went into Michael's today and they had already started clearance out all of the Halloween and Fall items. Wow!!
I am just now feeling in the mood for Halloween to be here. For the last couple of weeks I have been working on Halloween cards for my Mother-in-Law to send out to her grandchildren.

The theme is of course..... Halloween
When Lisa sent me my kit for this challenge I could not wait to use it.
The collection I received is from Graphic 45 - Steam-punk Spells.

Also included in my kit was some of the new Tim Holtz glitter. My color to is Black Soot.
Oh how I loved to use this glitter.
This collection is beautiful and fun. I loved the different colors of the paper. Below are just a few of the cards I created from this set. I have at least two additional cards ready to build.
These first three cards I used the graphics that was included in the kit.
I punched the cat and bat out of black card stock using my Fiskars seasonal punches and then covered the punched out image in glitter using the Glossy Accents.
The flower I made using some AC card stock and my Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers Sizzix die. I added a little bronze glitter to the edges. The file tap is chip board that is part of this paper collection.
For the last card. I really loved the flowers and they really remind me of the Day of the Dead. Even though is still has that Stem-punk feel. I used a stamp from the Sweet Stamp shop to make the sugar skull. I glittered the eye scokets using the Tim Holtz glitter. And I took some of the Autum glitter sheet of paper from Challenge #5 for the border behind the flowers and skull.
I popped the skull up using some pop dots.
I hope you can join us in this challenge. And please stop in to see what the rest of the DT created. You will not be disappointed.
