Today we start a brand new Monthly Challenge at Great Impressions!!! This month's theme is
FUN!!!
Here is my Challenge Card:
As soon as I saw that tree stamp I knew I had to own it, isn't it spooky?!?! It's the Great Impressions stamp, G432 Spooky Tree.....appropriately named!
I heat embossed the tree using black embossing powder, then I took some orange and black craft paint and flicked them all over the image using my trusty craft toothbrush. That technique is super easy and really adds a bit of oomph! Plus if you ever have an ink smear or smudge you can usually cover it up! ;) I used a Spellbinders Classic Oval die to create my window which I raised by using a ton of pop dots on the panel. Designer Paper from my Halloween stash pile.
My row of Jack-O-Lanterns were created using a Martha Stewart Punch, which I layered on black and glittery orange card stock.....creepy! A little black and white gingham ribbon tied off and a bit added as a ribbon tab. I then cut a little spider web with my Cameo and added some black glitter to give it a great sparkle.
Now you have all month to create a fun and/or spooky card for the GI Challenge! And remember when using your Great Impressions stamps, upload into our Customer Gallery.
Thanks so much for dropping by!
Enjoy~~
