We have a fun Get Spooked Challenge on the Ways to Use It (WT816) today. So I think this card will definitely fit right in. For the bg, I used the Wrinkle Free Distress tech on some lightweight watercolor paper using some yellow, orange & purple Distress inks.

When it dried, I used the splatter bg to stamp over it w/ gold ink & used gold embossing powder. Then I put the panel in my Misti & stamped the graveyard & crow.  Leaving the panel in place, I put the white layer w/ the oval cut out on top & stamped the grim reaper, took the white panel off & stamped him again. The tombstone & ghost were stamped on white & fussy cut.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC771), we’re headed to Stuffed Safari. They have some really cute stuffed critters & was drawn to the bats & cats on THIS page.

My card today is pretty easy. I die cut a white panel then masked off an area on either side & sponged the colors inside the unmasked area. Put it in my Misti & stamped the spooky tree image a few times. Just to give it a little punch & imitate a layer, I added a couple of thin black strips on either side. Stamped the greeting & some bats & done!

Such a lovely site for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC769)! While I loved all the pretty items, I found it was tough for me to pick, because almost everything is in whites or pastels. For the most part, I’m just not a pastel person. I was really in the mood to make a fall card so when I saw THIS cookbook cover, that’s what I chose. They looked more like fall colors & the white circle was perfect for a greeting.

For my card, I started by white embossing the leaves onto a narrow strip, then sponging the fall colors over it.  Then I white embossed them again on separate pieces of green &  rust colored card stock &  fussy cut those. The white bg was dry embossed &  I popped up the greeting on its own circle. The circle stitch frame behind the greeting was sponged to match the leaves
