Saturday Sketch Challenge 115 ~ I had FUN!!!

Sometimes I come up with a challenge card and I'm not overly sure that I LOVE the outcome... This week, I LOVE MY CARD!!!

I started out with some clear window sheets, and I stamped my pumpkins with white stazon on that layer. I added some sticky strip to the top of the strip and stuck it on some Halloween DSP from the catalog. I cut that piece down and mounted it on a piece of black cardstock. I layered pumpkin pie 1/4" grosgrain over that and tied a tiny bow at the middle.

I used some rubons for the sentiment and sponged a little craft ink (whisper white) around the edges. Underneath this layer, I cut a top note die out of pumpkin pie. It wouldn't have fit if I used the whole piece ~ so I cut it in half and overlapped it on the back. I still wasn't satisfied. I wanted another layer or two in there, so I cut a basic grey layer 1/4" larger than my black layer, and put it behind the pumpkin pie to really make it pop.

I cut my base and second layer out of basic black cardstock. My second layer was also sponged with white craft and then laid on the stark black for a pretty fun contrast. Please check out what my stampin sisters from the 411 are up to this week. You won't be sorry! You can even play along if you choose. You never know, your card could be featured on the blog OR you might even win something! Happy stamping!
