I found these fun little foam owl stickers with glittery witch hats in the clearance bin at Michael's yesterday, so I wanted to make another Halloween card to get in the mail.
One of my favorite stampers, Julia Stainton, is the Muse at the CASE Study blog, so I used her fabulous card as my inspiration.
My design was also based on the Inspiration Photo from the Ad Challenge at Pretty Little Studio.
I searched for a background paper that incorporated the same feel as the plates on the wall … and I actually went with some non-Halloween paper … a peacock Feather print from Graphic 45's Curtain Call Collection (they reminded me of lots of eyes peeking out of the dark)
I also incorporated multiple circle elements and the orange from the design (circle cut from my designer paper to let the cream card base show through … and 1" punched circles from orange glitter paper decorated with some glitter bats). The sentiment is from Hero Arts Frightful.
I also stuck with Black & Orange for this week's Dynamic Duos Color Combination.
So, I’m scanning through my Google Reader, trying to figure out what happened to my numbers. I looked away for not very long, and WHAM, I’m approaching 700 unread posts.
I looked closer and 45 of them are YOURS! YOURS! *shakes fist*
Sigh, okay, I have that feather paper and I love what you did with it.
PS: I am not adding any more challenges to my list of unloved challenge blogs. I. am. not. Well, okay, maybe just one.
Great take on the CASe study – I love the ‘eyes’ in the peacock feathers! They add to the spookiness!
Wow those peacock feathers with all of their “eyes” are a great background for your sparkly owls! Thanks for playing along with us at Dynamic Duos!
The pattern paper is amazing and the owl is so cute!
Thank you so much for playing along with us at Dynamic Duos!
