Happy Sunday, everyone! There's a new Paper Players challenge on deck for your creativity this week! Laurie is our hostess and her color palette is perfect for a Halloween creation! Usually I try to think outside the box when we have a color challenge, but this one was too "Halloween-y" to pass up! So here's the challenge:
And here's my card:
I actually started with stamping these Impression Obsession cats on Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape cardstocks to match the challenge colors, and then when I was looking through my Halloween stamps, I found this little verse and I thought it would be perfect to accompany my spooky kitties!
I added some swirly stars (Close to My Heart) on each square's background wtih Versamark, then mounted everything on a Basic Black mat. That went on top of another Basic Black mat that was diecut with the Dots & Spots die. I ran a few strips of cardstock in the challenge colors through the die again, then (very tediously) glued in some random dots here and there into the black mat! The inside sentiment is from the fun little retired SU set called Pictograms:
Little sparkly star sequins finished it off! Fun! I hope you'll have fun, too, playing with our challenge colors! And if you're not into Halloween, check out what the DT created...there were several non-spooky creations there! Visit them at the Paper Players, then share your creation too! Thanks for visiting today!
Here's a picture of me and Dana on the hayride yesterday! It was a beautiful day but it was CHILLY! We are so blessed to live in the country where tractors and hayrides are doable, LOL! More pix to come!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
