With this color pairing and given the time of year, I felt only a Halloween card was in order.
If you're a fan of Spellbinders, you're well aware of this die set and embossing folder that came out in the clubs for August of this year. I love everything Halloween, so of course they both had to come home with me.
After all the die cutting from regular and glitter cardstock, assembling it was pretty easy. I did ink blending over both the Boo Mobile and the pumpkin ornament prior to assembly to give them more shape and dimension.
I thought the design on the packaging was great, but it included a flying eyeball that I wasn't especially fond of. Then I saw this version from Nichol Spohr using the skull and crossbones at the top of the car and I liked that much better.
For the background, a panel of gray was ink blended around the edges with Black Soot Distress ink and embossed with the spider web folder. When the black ink was dry, I used an older white pigment ink pad to swipe white over the tops of the webs. And yes, it did leave a tiny bit of color, but I have this ink pad especially for these kinds of projects and have two others that are pristine. Sparkle and white splatter were added as well.
The sentiment was heat embossed in white on black, die cut and added to the bottom of the dried panel before adding the car full of our crazy, creepy crew (don't you love those witches' legs?).
So how are you inspired to use these colors? We'd love to have you join us and see what you come up with. I encourage you to visit the challenge blog to see the variety of fabulous creations by the rest of the design team. The challenge will remain open until Thursday October 29th at 9 am EDT. Hope to see you there!
