SC354....eeek!


Happy Hump Day Peeps!
Today I am sharing a card I made with the sketch challenge today on Splitcoaststampers.

I was stumped for a bit when looking at the sketch. I then started looking for a set that would fit the small image panel. I settled on the Stampin Up "Dark &  Dreary". I stamped the candle stick with black stazon and colored it with some basic gray ink using my aqua painter. I used some cajun craze and daffodil delight ink for the candles and flames.

I used some DSP from the Frightful Sight paper pack.


I had a few of these black roses that I had used on another project laying on my desk and thought it would be  a good addition to the Halloween card.  


The little rose is made from a sizzix die and then rolled up. I added a rhinestone to the center and a couple of rhinestones to the candelabra .

The base of the card is old olive and the DSP is matted with basic black. I rounded the corners of the main image panel and the large back panel.

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

OCC...Sketch Challenge




Happy Saturday Peeps!!

It is time for another challenge over on the Our Creative Corner Blog.

This week I am the challenge hostess and as most of you know I LOVE a sketch challenge so, yes you guessed it I have a fun sketch for you:

All my blog followers know that I LOVE Halloween and it is never to early to start making some cool Halloween cards. I used the Stampin Up "Dark & Dreary" Stamp set and the "Frightful Sight" DS paper.
The base of my card is basic black card stock and then I followed that up with some Cajun Craze card stock.  I used the square lattice embossing folder on my circle element on this card. I had originally thought I would use the spider web folder but went with this because the spider web didn't show as well.
I sponged my main image with old olive, pacific point and Cajun craze ink. I masked off the circle in the middle and the white edge. I added some old olive glitter brads and black satin ribbon.





Be sure to check the Our Creative Corner Blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with for this fun  challenge. I hope you can find some time to play along and if you do don't forget to link it up over on the Our Creative Corner Blog so we can all see it!
