Hello and welcome to my blog. We have a sketch challenge for you this week, using the Halloween card on page 48 of the Mini Catalogue. You may have hopped over from Rebecca’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post.
I find a layout is one of the easiest things to CASE however I really struggled with this layout. I’m not sure why I found it difficult, maybe the skeleton cowboy and his little skeleton dog spooked me haha.
I made my card a Christmas card as I don’t usually make halloween cards. My card base is Gray Granite followed by a layer of Basic White. I then added a layer of One Horse Open Sleigh DSP which has a beautiful woodgrain pattern. I’ve used the Christmas Classics Dies on Pebbled Path card stock to cut my central image, which I think is a similar shape to the sample card.
I die cut some extra Gold Foil berries and Night of Navy holly leaves and adhered them over the top of the original die cut. This helps to tie in with the Night of Navy and Gold 1/2″ Glittered Ribbon. The sentiment is from the Christmas Classics stamp set and is stamped in Night of Navy.
Marvi is either telling me how much he likes my card or telling me he doesn’t want Mike the dog in his backyard any longer. We’ve been looking after a friends dog for the last 9 days but his humans are back from their holiday and he’s going home today, I think Marvi will be pleased.
