Card Challenges

A bewitched Festive Post

Hey! Thanks for stopping by my little happy spot. Take a look around and hope you enjoy.

We would love to see what card creation you can bring to life. Please consider, taking a minute to post your card creation in our challenge gallery at CAS Colours & Sketches.

A new week ushers in a really fun Sketch Challenge, hop on over to CAS Colours & Sketches to get a little inspiration, then post your own creation. We would love to see what you create with this sketch.

Here is what I came up with…

This was so quick and easy to create and requires only a handful of items.

On a quarter piece of Whisper White card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink I used the 3 withes brooms image from the Festive Post Stamp set. The brooms are significantly closer together in the stamp image, here, I inked them separately to spread them out a bit more to allow room for their colorful trails. I used one of the water “watercolored” images from the Waterfront stamp set. Under each broom I stamped the image in a different color – Cinnamon Cider, Bumble Bee and Misty Moonlight. I then cut the panel down and matted with Basic Black. I used a strip of Whisper White scrap to stamp the sentiment ” Witching you a Happy Halloween”. I did alter this stamp a bet as well. I didn’t want 2 lines of text, I only wanted 1 narrow strip of text. I simply aligned each line independently . I snipped down the edges and attached to another scrap of Basic Black, then mounted to card front with dimensionals.

Inside the card, I repeated a broom and trail process using the Misty Moonlight ink.

Thanks again for stopping by and spending a bit of your time with me. I hope you enjoyed learning about how this card came together. Hopefully you were even inspired just a bit.
