This week at Create with Connie and Mary there is a sketch challenge and I thought it would be fun to play along. And since I have been creating so many Christmas projects lately I thought I should ink up a Halloween set as it is only just over a month away, so I decided to use the super fun Wicked Cool Stamp Set.
For the card base I used Old Olive, then attached a strip of More Mustard DSP that I stamped the bat images on with Basic Gray Classic Ink. I then used the cool new Bat Punch and punched a piece of Basic Black Textured card stock, next using the Decorative Label Punch I centered the negative of the bat and punched. Heather Summers showed us at Convention that the "Spooky" would fit inside the bat. Using a scrap piece of Whisper White I stamped the Hat image in Rich Razzleberry and the cute Boots with Basic Gray then cut them out using my Paper Snips.On another scrap of paper I stamped "Spooky" in More Mustard. For the main panel I stamped the spider webs with Basic Black ink and matted it on Basic Gray card stock. I wanted to something a little different for the ribbon piece so I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch with Rich Razzleberry card stock then attached Old Olive Grograin Ribbon and finished it with a sparkly new Glimmer Brad. But I couldn't just stop with the glitter there-I had to throw in some Basic Rhinestone Jewels for good measure!
Okay so enough about the blah,blah,blah! On to the BLOG CANDY!!!!!!!

Well you know I'd be leaving love even if the free pass wasn't up for grabs.
Love the ribbon overlay on the scallop trim punch, the "spooky" bat and your card in general. Wish Halloween was entertained here (humph!) but then again, I could also post a card lol
Hugs and congrats on all your hard work.
