My four adult children have always enjoyed Halloween cards so I keep making them! This ones a little feminine Halloween card for my oldest daughter...DD#1. It fits seven (7) challenges listed below:
#1. DD9ABC23W - Alphabet Challenge, Round 9 - Color Letter W = white. Bonus: window - 7/25/18. Cute bones and tombstone are white. NO bonus entry.
#2. CT1018 - Dirty Dozen Monthly Themes Challenge, "Central Theme: Once Upon a Time" - 10/15/18. My card uses a fairytale inspiration from the Brothers Grimm fairytale, "The Boy Who Wanted the Willies" in which a boy, named Hans, joins a circle of dancing skeletons.
#3. WT170 - Ways to Use It Challenge, "All Tied Up" - 10/18/18...use string or twine on your card. I wrapped and tied my card up with Silver Metallic thread.
#4. F4A452 - Free for All Challenge, "Just Be Yourself" - 10/19/18. Create a card that is "so very you"...your style! I love layers, decorative edging, glitter and sparkle, and making cards from tags. In this card my "tag" is also a graveyard headstone. I almost never make CAS cards.
#5. IC672 - Inspiration Challenge, "Current catalog" - 10/20/18...browsing the website, this Skeleton Doormat gave me inspiration...click here to see it: Skeleton Doormat.
#6. FS611 - Featured Stamper Challenge, "Oh Susie Q..." - 10/21/18. Featuring Susan aka SusieQ-lovesStampi. Her card that inspired me can be seen by clicking here: Halloween. Changes made: I used strictly black and white colors, I made my top layer, hosting my skull, smaller and in tab format rather than a coffin, plus I angled mine. I added a horizontal middle paper band and a decorative mat edging. I also added more embellishments with googlie eyes, a ribbon, a rhinestone button, punched edges, and a metallic thread wrap.
