So this week's Color Throwdown Challenge threw me for a bit of a loop. It's a good one (they always are), but with me being all "Halloween" and late summer and starting to think fall etc etc - the pastel colors stopped me in my tracks LOL!
You can check out what the rest of the team created with these colors HERE <-----click! and there's still time to play along yourself if you'd like!
After I started thinking about it I decided I wanted to incorporate these colors into a Halloween card because why not? So this is what I came up with:
This is a 5x7" card.
OK slight detour first. Tim Holtz Halloween products have been coming out - and last weekend was the Ranger release:
You can check out those new products HERE <-----click! (and yes I ordered them and hope to have a video using them ASAP!)
Anywho Tim did a live video showing those products with all sorts of info and inspiration. If you didn't watch it it's HERE <-----click! I was watching it and it's what inspired the background for my card.
So I created this drippy, pastel background using Distress Oxide Sprays and a brayer and spray bottle. I also used the Hocus Pocus stencil with Milled Lavender Distress Oxide ink to add the subtle stars.
I white heat embossed some of the webs from the Tim Holtz Spiderwebs stamp set onto the background as well.
The main image and sentiment is from the Colorado Craft Company Witch's Hat stamp set. They have an entire "Big and Bold" line with all these HUGE images. I've purchased a few of them over the last couple of years and am finally getting around to using them. If you missed it I used their Slimline Ice Cream image recently to make a flat shaker card HERE.
Anywho - I stamped the image onto the background, then stamped it a second time onto Neenah card stock and coloured it in with Copics. I fussy cut it and added it to the inky background, along with a sentiment from the Witch's Hat set and some bling.
On the inside of the card I stamped the hat with the Milled Lavender Oxide ink and then stamped another couple of sentiments from the Witch's Hat set and that was it!
