I started off by drawing the image in pencil. I then watercolor painted everything - this card was easier to paint because I used watercolor cards that are meant to hold watercolor paint. I wanted something extra so I put gold embossing powder on the wheels and pumpkin:

And here's how it turned out:


It's a little bit more expensive than my other cards ($10) because I put a lot more detail and time in to the artwork of it. I also have one more Halloween card to list that features a bat and a watercolor painted moon. My internet is being slow so I can't get the photos up, but it should (hopefully) be up this week before Halloween. I also picked up some Halloween candies today. If anybody orders a Halloween card (or anything in my shop) during Halloween time, I was going to include a couple chocolates.
Two of my items are featured in treasuries. :) One of my other Halloween cards is in this treasury for the Etsy for Animals team. I also found out today one of my "Vote" cards was featured in this Obama treasury.
I was downtown shopping today and noticed there were a couple of local craft shows. Both were for early November, so it might be too late for me to do them and I don't have that many items here. There was also no contact info on the flyers I saw and I haven't been able to find any info/any other craft shows online yet. I've never done a craft show, but I really want to do one at some point. Anybody have any experience with them? What was your first craft show like?
