World Cardmaking Day - Whimsy Stamps blog hop

World Cardmaking Day is a day dedicated to celebrating the art of handmade cards – whether made with construction paper and crayons or with more sophisticated supplies. As we crafters can all agree, a store-bought card, while nice, just can’t replace the personal and thoughtful nature of one made by hand.  
Today, the Whimsy Design Teams are honoring this craft with two hops – one here and another on Instagram. For each hop Whimsy is giving away a $25 gift certificate to the store. To increase your chances of winning, be sure to leave a comment on each stop of the hop. All comments must be left by midnight EST on Saturday, October 12th. One winner will be randomly-chosen from each hop, and the winners will be announced on the Whimsy blog on Sunday, October 13th.

Here is my Halloween themed card:
I used 'Bones', 'Frankie' and 'Jack' digital stamps, using the .png file and merging them together to make one image. i colored them with my prismacolor pencils and then fussy cut them out.
I die cut the orange frame using Whimsy Stamps Shaker Maker Rectangles die set. I used Whimsy Stamps Grass and Cloud Eder die set to cut the black cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment using Whimsy Stamps You're my Boo clear stamp set. I cut this into a banner shape and mounted onto black cardstock.
I popped the frame up on foam tape, mounted it onto a patterned cardstock panel from my stash, and added it to a standard A2 black card base.
I just love these images and hope my card has inspired you to make some fun Halloween cards of your own.
Enjoy the rest of the hop and be sure to leave comments for you chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the shop. Here is the line up:
