Well, the card is finished, so I'll post it.
I'm playing along in 2 challenges with today's card.
Crazy 4 Challenges (C4C109) - The challenge is to create something for an upcoming holiday and incorporate heat embossing.
The Play Date Cafe #103
Rust, Storm & Deep Sea are the description of these colors on the PDCC blog. Don't you love those names?
My card ~
I used Stampin' Up! colors...Basic Gray, Cajun Craze and Not Quite Navy to create a tri-fold card. I started with a piece of cardstock measuring 11" x 4 1/4". I scored it at 1 1/2" and 6 1/2" for my folds. The finished card measures 5" x 4 1/4". I stamped the haunted house in gray ink onto the gray cs, then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. After cutting out the image I added some color to the windows with a yellow glaze pen. I drew in a bat with a black marker. Then added some stars to the sky with a stardust glitter pen.
On the narrow flap of the card, I cut fringe into several pieces of gray ribbon and layered those over the "fence" punched cs. Oh, and added a fun little spiderweb sticker.
Well, I'm not sure I'll be making more Halloween cards. I'll have to give it some thought.
Thanks for taking a look!

ReplyDeleteLove that little fringe trim and your hand drawn bat is amazing!
Susie, I really like the scene you've created. Don't feel badly about not making more Halloween cards. I guess I say that 'cause I haven't made ANY this year! Only one, for my daughter who is born this month.
