The colors we were to use for this wicked challenge over at
and black as night!!!
Hi there friends!
Oh, indeed what a wicked challenge this one was for me! I fought with this card for far too long! But, I believe I achieved the desired results. :-) The main problem for this card was the sky. I first had it white with pink clouds. I then distressed it with pink and purple. Finally, I found some vellum in my stash and placed that over white paper to achieve a soft looking evening sky. I cut out the tree free form and embossed with clear embossing powder. The fence was embossed also. I used the heat gun longer than usual to get some texture. The skulls, bats, and sentiment were highlighted with glossy accents. I added twine, button, and gems to finished the card. I have so much fun making Halloween cards, and I plan to make more! Hope you've been having fun in your craft room! Thanks for visiting today, take care, hugs!!:-))
