Today is another challenge filled day over at Love to Crop. I just love Amy and her blog challenges... Have you seen some of her explosion boxes? WOW. She is so gifted and I am always honored when she wants ME to guest design. Well, every other Friday she hosts a challenge on her blog and this week it's all about "CIRCLES". Easy, right? So here is my take on the challenge and I hope you like it, cuz this was probably the easiest card to create.
I started with my circle Halloween paper as my background
and punched 3 circles each in black and orange. I inked around
the edges of the orange circles in black and using my alphabet
stamps I embossed the words BOO with gold embossing powder.
I used my glitter gel pen and traced around the black circles
then pop dotted the orange circles on top of the black ones.
I added my "faux" bakers twine that I colored both
in orange and black and tied a knot in the middle.
Then I added a few rhinestones to keep with the circles
challenge that I colored orange with my bic markers.
I just love making all my own embellishments...easier on the pocket book
Lastly I added one of my Creative Paperclay® ghosts (you can see my tutorial on it here)
See, super easy and quick!!!
Now go and create a project using "CIRCLES" and head on over to LTC and enter Amy's challenge. I believe the challenge is open until November 3rd, but check out her blog for more details, plus she also has some blog candy you could win for entering.
very cute card.
