card sketch #111 – spooky halloween

Today’s card sketch is a fun one to use with strips of colored paper, Designer Series paper or strips colored by hand – the possibilities are endless!

I choose the new Online Exclusive bundle Spooky Halloween, and the coordinating Spooky Sweet DSP.

Card Sketch #111 Measurements:
BASE: Granny Apple Green CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″ embossed
scrap for sentiment piece and critter stamp
Basic Black scrap for bat dies
DSP: (2) 3/4″ x 4″
(2) 1″ x 4″

I embossed the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer with the Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine using the BASE plate #1 and the Embossing Plate #4.

I cut the Basic Black scrap with the bat die using the BASE plate #1, the Thin Die Adaptor #2 and the 2 cutting plates #3.

Adhere the Basic White embossed layer to the Base card.

Arrange the DSP strips on the upper half of the card and adhere over the embossed layer in a pleasing pattern.

Stamp the critter in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and the sentiment on scrap pieces of Basic White CS. Die cut the critter and cut the sentiment piece to size.

Adhere the critter to the left-hand side of the DSP arrangement.

Adhere the two bat dies overhead.

Using a blending brush and Granny Apple Green ink blend color onto the edges of the sentiment piece and pop up onto Stampin’ Dimensionals – adhere to the lower right-hand side of the card front.
