Spooky Fun Bundle
September 22, 2016
Today I have another project using the Spooky Fun bundle from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. I used it to make my card for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge card.
I think I say I struggle with every challenge, which is one of the reasons I wanted to be a part of the design team. Whether it is a color or sketch challenge I am pushed to try something new. I know that participating in challenges has helped me become a better stamper. I highly recommend it and hope you will join in this week's challenge.
I started off by lightly sponging black ink on to a strip of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper. I cut out the spooky tree using the Halloween Scene Edgelits (available as a bundle with the Spooky Fun stamp set). I stamped the witch image on Smoky Slate card stock and used markers to color her. There are 2 witch images in the Spooky Fun set one solid and the other a line image and they are both cut out using the same die from the Halloween Scene Edgelits. The little witch is flying across a Gold Glimmer moon. I also used a piece of the Halloween Night Specialty DSP. There are 2 sheets in this fun pack of paper that have silver foil designs. The one I used has a cool spider web design on it. The little bats were cut out using the Home Sweet Home framelits. The final thing I did was stamp the little dots from the Gorgeous Grunge set. This little bit of texture was just what the card needed.
Be sure to check out what the other designers created using this sketch. You can also get all the information on how you can participate in the Create with Connie and Mary Challenge by visiting the blog.
I totally agree with you about getting stretched when participating in challenges. I like the way it pushes me as well! I love the black sponging on your sparkle white panel! What a smart idea!
