Want more of a chance to win, leave me a comment on each of my posts for the next week, the winner will be announced with the release date!

For my design I used the stamp set from Stamps and Smiles called Hello Spring. Since I have been in the mood to design Halloween cards, I created this fun design using Cuppy - Can you spot the extra detail I added to her? The background was embossed using the Haunted Halloween embossing folder by Cuttlebug. The extra detail on the corners were done using my circle punch along with some NEW Halloween punches by Martha Stewart. The punched out detail was dusted with craft ink to give it a soft glow. To finish off the card, I also decided to decorate the inside of my card.

How would you like to add this card to your collection? Leave me a comment and I will announce the winner on Thursday, August 27th. Please stop by the Stamps and Smiles blog for more fun samples from the design team.

See you on Saturday! Hugs...
