Today’s Way to use it challenge on Splitcoaststampers is to make a Halloween card. I don’t have very many Halloween stamps and I hardly ever use them. I guess I have a hard time with Halloween projects, because Purple is a MAJOR color in the Halloween color combos. But that didn’t stop me today! I didn’t want to break my Challenge streak. I dusted off my Lavender Lace cardstock and went to work.
I started with a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock and layered it with a 4″ square of Lavender Lace and a 3 3/4″ square of Pumpkin Pie Prints designer paper. On both layers I used the ticket corner punch on all corners. I used the Argyle stamp from All in a Row for the faux stitching and added Pewter Brads in the outer for corners of the card.
The horizontal strip measures 1 5/8″ x 3 3/4″ for the black cardstock, 1 3/8″ x 3 3/4″ for the Lavendar one. I stamped the Polka dots with the Background stamp from the Three for you Punch kit stamp. The ribbon is from the Ribbon Originals Jersey collection.
For the circles I I stamped the circle from Seeing Spots in Certainly Celery on the same colored cardstock. I used my black micron pen to add the black dots and punched them out with the 1 1/4″ circle punch and layered them on black 1 3/8″ circles. I trimmed part of it off and tape them to the card.
For the main image I stamped Frankenstein from the set Booglie Eyes in Black Stazon on Shimmery White cardstock (1 3/4″ x 1 7/8″) and colored him in with Pumpkin Pie, Lavender Lace and More Mustard markers as well as with aqua painter and Sahara Sand, Certainly Celery and River Rock ink. All corners were punched with the ticket corner punch. The image was layered on a piece of Certainly Celery and a piece of Basic Black cardstock.
The saying is from the set All Holidays. It was stamped with Black Stazon on Shimmery white and added with a small rectangle frame from the Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware kit.
