Here’s Poppy hanging out for Karen Burniston’s September Challenge! He’s sitting on an Oval Accordion die just waiting for the fun to begin!

It suddenly turned Fall around here this weekend! A perfect time for Karen Burniston’s Halloween challenge – and a great time to start creating those spooky creations. I used the Accordion Circle die with the solid edge and the new Tee Hee Hee set from the Stampin Up Holiday Mini. On the front, the cauldron, bubbling away. (Those bubbles are some old floral/vase fillers)

Do you think the witch was doing her laundry before the big day? Or just conjuring up her spooky attire?

Supplies

Stamp Set – Tee Hee Hee

Card stock – Basic Black, Whisper White, Back to Black DSP

Ink – Memento Tux Black, Tangerine Tango, Pear Pizzazz

Etc – Karen Burniston Accordion Circle die, Pear Pizzazz ribbon

I embossed the Very Vanilla with the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder and sponged the edges with Crumb Cake, On the Typeset panel I sponged and added my sentiment (heat embossed) and flowers from Flower Shop.
