Twofer - one for any occasion and one for Halloween

I made 2 cards using the same image from Tim Holtz' Wicked hipsters stamp set, one card I made for any occasion and the other for Halloween.

1) ANY OCCASION in pink monochrome

The text translates "you are wonderfully nice and beautiful" and I like it because I think it fits for a just because kind of card, but even a birthday one for that matter. I stamped the sentiment inside a solid and outline circle stamp from Tim Holtz.
I stamped the image onto the background and masked it before stenciling behind it. I also used some text stamps from Aall & Create for some extra detail. The hair scarf and the pearl necklace are stamped onto a patterned paper and cut out.

Alphabet Challenge - M IS FOR MONOCHROME
Cardz 4 Galz - #208 Use a Stencil, A Sentiment and An Image

2) HALLOWEEN in orange and black

For this card I used distress inks, Mica stain and a stencil to make he background. I cut out a panel from a Halloween DP, used sentiments from different stamp sets and added some die cut sweets.
I don't really use Halloween cards, but they're so fun to make. If you happen to know someone or some place who could put them to use, like a charity or oganization or collector, then please share...

This card is for:
