Happy Saturday! This week at Drunken Stampers we're challenging you to pull out some die cuts and use them on your project:
Even if you don't have a die-cutting machine of some type, you likely have some die cut elements in your stash. With October practically upon us, I decided to make a Halloween card:
Check out that spooky inked background! It's actually a little darker in real life, but I always find dark cards tricky to photograph. The haunted house and tree were both die-cut with my Cuttlebug. Punches are kind of related to die-cutting machines, don't you think? Just smaller and restricted to one shape. ☺ So maybe half-points (not that we're keeping score) for the treed horizon layer and the little bat. The BOO! is stamped and embossed to finish the card. After I took the photo, I realized that one little piece of pop-dot tape under the tree was peeking out a bit, so swiped it with a brown Sharpie for camouflage.
I'm going to add this card to Simon Says Stamp's current Anything Goes and Moxie Fab World's Color Media challenges.
Use one, use a lot... put your die cuts to work and join our cocktail party!
Supplies: black, yellow & textured brown Bazzill cardstock, Canson 140 lb watercolour paper, Basic Grey plumeria patterned paper, Unity stamp, Memento elderberry, Paris dusk & London fog & Versafine onyx black inks, QuicKutz house & tree dies, EK Success & Martha Stewart punches, pop-dot tape

I was wondering if the house was a diecut, fabulous job. great idea colouring the popdot. sometimes they like to slide.
Half points to Gryffindor! :D
LOVE that tree & house - and the inked sky is awesome! I have to remember that Sharpie trick because that happens to me all the time. I usually use my xacto to try & shove it back underneath.
Love your fabulous halloween card.
Thank you for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.
