colourQ challenge #263

I’m playing along with colourQ challenge #263 this week with a Halloween-themed card.

The Taylored Expressions Neighborhood reminds me of a nearby neighborhood to which I like to walk. It’s not far away from a park in which there’s a “Fright Night” held each year, and tonight is their opening night.

After heat embossing the SU sentiment, I backed the windows with orange and yellow strips. I added a strip of polka-dot patterned paper at the bottom for a bit of visual contrast.

Supplies: Stampin’ Up Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight; Stampin’ Up Ghoulish Greetings; Taylored Expressions Neighborhood Border; Memory Box Ghost Trio

Freshly Made Sketches #157 – Halloween

Playing along with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches with a Halloween card.

Freshly Made Sketches #157 - Halloween

I used a Memory Box die set – Trick or Treaters – for the focal point, pairing it with a Stampin’ Up sentiment and patterned paper from We R Memory Keepers. I particularly like how this sketch uses pattern. (I have a lot of patterned paper and often look for ways to use it.) Hope you’re having a terrific weekend!

I have a new post over in the CLASSroom at Ellen Hutson’s on Die Cutting Techniques. One of the die cutting techniques I explore is window die cuts. I took the Spooky Window card shown in the post one step further placing the window, embossed with a Hero Arts sentiment, on a Distress-inked background panel.
