I found this stamp set on my shelf (retired Stampin' Up) and thought that the little ghost and the spooky/Halloween themes would go well together. In following with the sketch (on Try Stamping) I added a jack-o-lantern and the bottom black piece that I embossed only the "spooky" smile. On the right hand side of the card I used some old DSP from last year (Stampin' Up) sponged on the cajun craze color and then added the sentiment (also retired Stampin' Up) The black background is embossed then sponged with a bit of white to help the pattern to show. I pulled out my scrap ribbons and added to the top of the card, when I got that done I thought it sorta resembled a bat?.?. Well maybe if you use your imagination.
Okay here is the sketch and my Vision:

Hi Vicki, I love HALLOWEN cards, I think they are the best. I love the background DSP's on yours and the "special delivery" kind of makes me wonder what spooky things are inside!! Thanks for joining us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday! Crystal
ReplyDeleteThe embossed and sponged background is great. Also the black ghost on white (negative of what we would usually see) and the white JOL face on black. I can absolutely see a bat in the ribbon! Thanks for playing along with CanYouCaseIt.com this week!
ReplyDeleteVicki, great way to showcase older products (retired) and I love, love, love the dry embossing you did! Thanks for joining CYCI :) Eva
