The challenge at
is being hosted by our 'sistah' Dar
and she has chosen the theme
'Pumpkins and/or the color Orange'!
I loved this theme as it allowed me to finally
and I mean finally dig in my Halloween stash of stamps.
I have LOTS of Halloween stamps
and probably 99% of them have never seen ink!
I used a Stampendous stamp for this project.
After stamping, I sponged lots of
TH Distress wild honey ink all around the image,
heavy in some spots, lighter in others.
I colored the image with Copics
and a while back (a month or so) I saw a challenge to
color 'outside' the lines so thought I would try that with the
viney leaves...I kind of like how it adds a pop of color.
I really struggled to figure out how to finish this card
without covering up the image, as it is quite large.
I added a little spider web corner die from
Cheery Lynn Designs Lace Corner Die Deco H
and a silly little spider to match the grins on the pumpkins
and decided that was all it needed! Pretty simple!
Take a peek over at The Sisterhood and see all the fun
creations the 'sistahs' have to inspire YOU to join in the challenge with us!

Great arty sketchbook look on your main image and the spider adds the fun. Thanks for joining in at City Crafter.
It's brilliant Diane!! Love the image and the sponging!
Great Card. Thanks for sharing with Make My Monday.
Great design and beautiful dtails. I love the effect of sponging around the image. It adds a warm and soft touch. Thanks so much for joining us at CCCB!

Wow! What a cool stamp! I love the sponging and hint of color on the vines. That turned out great! It doesn't need another single thing other than the spider and web. The image is so awesome on its own. I got sick and then didn't get my Halloween cards mailed out. Stomach flu knocked me for a loop and having a time getting my strength back. Guess I'll have extras for next year.
I love your card, the coloring behind the lines looks so good, a good tip. Thanks for joining in the fun at MMM. Caz DT.
So pretty and spooky at the same time! Thanks for sharing it with us at Papergirls, hope to see you there again soon.
