Hey there, Stampin' Friends!! It's Friday, and that means it is time for another great challenge at the Friday Mashup!! Today we have a great challenge from Holly!- Make a Halloween themed project
- Make a project using the colors black, pumpkin pie, lucky limeade, and concord crush
- Or make a Halloween project using the colors listed above
Now, I love color challenges and theme challenges...but Halloween is just not my cup of tea. We hand out candy, and put a few fall decorations and maybe cute jack-o-lanterns...but the gorey stuff, the horror flicks...I can't handle them! I jump during PG-13 movies! LOL!! So my Halloween stamps are limited to a few sentiments from sets that also feature other holidays. But I do have this fabulous Nature Silhouette set, with a howling wolf...perfect!
All of my supplies are from Stampin' Up! My card base is concord crush, with a layer of pumkin pie, then lucky limeade embossed with the square lattice impressions folder. I embellished with basic black striped grosgrain ribbon and 2 bright (pumpkin pie) glimmer brads. The tree and wolf were stamped in basic black craft ink, coated with basic black embossing powder and then heat embossed. With a small circle mask, I sponged the full moon in limeade, then sponged a bit above the grass. I continued sponging pumpkin then concord crush. I matted the image with pumpkin and concord card stock. The final detail is the return of Teeny Tiny Wishes with the word window and modern label punches, intentionally set off the edge just a bit.
It took me a while to come up with this, but I like the end result. Now...where do I send this card?? *wink*

ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteThis image is just right for the theme, you've done a great job of sponging the eerie sky to frame the silhouette.
Cheers,

This looks great, the purple and orange in the sky give it just enough of a spooky feel without being scary!

ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Kim. This image works wonderfully for Halloween - werewolves and all that! I can just hear him howling! You've done a gorgeous colouring job too.
