Morning friends it's time for the latest challenge over at
AAA Cards CAS Challenge
and we are going with Halloween - 4 Everyone!
It's an 'all styles game' so we can't wait to see what you come up with.
Here's my card and I'm a CAS girl at heart so still couldn't
bring myself to slap on lots of layers and patterns.
This one's for my niece and nephew so hope they'll love it
and their mum will just love me for reminding them about pumpkins!
I started out by stamping and embossing my pumpkin / sentiment stamp
from Clearly Besotted then inking and blending with distress inks in
Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade and a little Black Soot.
For some added detail I've spritzed it with perfect pearls, die-cut the panel
using MFT Die-Namics Pierced Rectangle Dies, mounted on 3d Foam
with a wrap-around of coordinating bakers twine to finish.
I hope you feel inspired to play along and please head over to the
AAA Card Blog
HERE as there's more wonderful creations from
my fellow teamies ... and here's a little photo inspiration to spur you on!
I'm also heading over to Timeout Challenges with my card, where
the photo inspiration is also on a similar theme.
I've focused on black, white and orange plus pumpkins!
Oh just noticed another regular challenge I like to enter;
Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge
and the theme is 'wrap it up' - what a bonus I used some twine!
and one more challenge featuring Halloween, pumpkins, owls etc
is Inkspirational so I'll be hopping across there too with my card!
Thanks as always for calling in today and have
some crafty fun with this one!
This is fabulous Sarah, you are so good at sponging and I love how it is lighter behind the pumkpins, just like the photo. Thanks for joining TO and Ink

ReplyDeleteLove your pumpkins Sarah. They each have real personality. Your sponging is awesome, as always. Love the white on black sentiment, and the twine finishes it beautifully.
