Pumpkin Head


 I sold all my House Mouse stamps several years ago after using them for years, but I found this stamped image in my box of snippets, so I colored it and made it into a card. It's a Gruffies image from 2002. I colored it with Copics and added a little BOO! tag done with a long retired SU! stamp and tag punch (which I've also passed on through the years). I die cut the image panel with a Lil Inker stitched rectangle die and put it on a red card base.

I'm sharing this oldie but goodie with...

the House Mouse & Friends #401 - A/G with an option of adding another House Mouse image other than a House Mouse (Gruffie)

Critter Crazy Challenge #79 - A/G featuring a critter

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope your day is a great one!

How fun card, Carol! Those bears make me smile! Well done using your last stamped image! Love your colouring and the red mat. The sentiment and the little boo tag are so cute.You have been so brave selling your stamp. I can’t separate from my stash even if I don’t use it, I'm a a hopeless compulsive hoarder LOL :D
Good luck on the challenges! And if you glad it, you could enter your card also in our We Love Stamping challenge, there is always the AG option.
Hugs dear friend, have a lovely Autumnal day!

So cute! I admit I don't use my HM stamps very much...I should probably take them off the wooden blocks, LOL! But I am happy you saved this little image...so stinkin' cute! And I love that Tiny Tag...still have my set too!

This card is just the cutest, Carol! I do remember these stamps but I do not think I ever bought any. I have quite a few of the Riley Moose stamps which I am not sure are even still around. I love the coloring of this image and the fun little BOO tag! Super sweet Halloween card that will make the recipient smile from ear to ear! TFS! Have a wonderful day! Hugs~
