A couple of years ago I bought some CTMH Halloween papers and one of them had a pink background with white ghosts and black bats....but I never used it because I just couldn't reconcile pink with Halloween! But I thought it would be perfect for this challenge! So I pulled it out and here we go:
I also used the FMS sketch for this week:
I don't know what it is with me and vellum lately, but this is the third card I've made in a couple of weeks that uses vellum, particularly over top of printed paper! These papers just looked a little too busy with my trio of circles, so I gave it a "misty" look by popping a piece of vellum over top. And since I still had my dies out from the card I made a couple days ago, I diecut another ghost, punched out a bat, and created some pink and black candy corn...I'll bet they taste like Good 'n Plenty, whatcha think?
I added a sentiment from Papertrey (as are the candy corns), a few sparkly bits and some diecut circles and it was done! Here's the inside, using MFT's Primitive Pumpkins sentiments:
I am also going to enter this at the Two Old Bats Halloween challenge, where anything Halloween goes:
I am thrilled to be using up some of that pink Halloween paper! You should check out what the design team members came up with using their pink supplies! Thanks for popping in today..enjoy it and be blessed!

Ohhh I think this card is fabulous, LeAnne! I would have been intimated by the pink, too, for Halloween but you blew this challenge out of the water! The vellum tones down the busy background but still pulls the pink color thru and the decorated focal point with the pink, black & white circles pulls it all together! Good n plenty it is! I love everything about it!
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, I'm so happy you found the perfect challenge for this adorable paper! I recently saw candy corn in these very colors! I wonder if they taste different?
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of your sweet little ghost!

Super cute card! I'm a fan of pink and think it can work with anything!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this!! Pink is my favorite color, and I love it combined with black and white. Excellent card! I agree that the vellum really helps tone down the busyness of the DSP while still allowing it to shine. Soooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Yes, definitely Good & Plenty. Great use of pink for Halloween.
