Halloween Wishes

It's Monday Sketch time! This week's sketch is provided by Ms. Angela Lemmons. Of course, I made a Halloween card. I used my PTI Spooky Sweets II stamp set and last year's Creepy Crawly dsp from SU! I had trouble with the main image, the idea in my head wasn't working out so well on paper. I decided to emboss the white part of the main image with the Swiss Dots folder and that made all the difference. I stamped some polka dots in Brilliance Ink Moonlight White (using PTI Polka Dot Basics stamp set)on the card base in lieu of a panel and I stamped large dots on both sides of the white ribbon using a sponge dauber dipped in Pumpkin pie ink. This is my first time stamping on ribbon and I can't wait to try it again. I love this witch image even though she was a bit of a chore to cut out.

I hope you're inspired to try the sketch this week. Don't forget to check out the creations by these lovely ladies:

  6. Looks like this card is from five years ago, and it's still floating people's boats after all these years. This card came up at the head of the pack when I did a Google search. Your use of the polka dots throughout the design is just fantastic. Glad I found it. And, I had a look at your Flickr gallery, and you are the queen of gift wrapping. Your designs are sensational. Thanks for sharing.
