Welcome to the weekend, and my second Just Us Girls guest designer post! This week we are asking you to "Cut Into Thirds". When I was pondering various ideas, I came across the colour palette at the current Shopping Our Stash challenge, and a Halloween idea was born:
I started by blending distress oxides on Bristol in three of the SOS colours, then splatted it with water. The bats are a background stamp from Catherine Pooler, stamped in black and embossed in holographic embossing powder. The sentiment on vellum is also embossed in the same powder. Fun thing about vellum - depending on the humidity, it wrinkles a bit as sen in my photos, but if the air is drier, it smoothes back out. Of course this always coincides with poor photography lighting. :D
I hope you will pick something to "cut into thirds" and join the challenge!
Supplies: Recollections black cardstock, Canson Bristol paper, vellum, Catherine Pooler Going Batty & Neat & Tangled Booed stamps, Versafine onyx black, fossilized amber, bundled sage & wilted violet distress oxide inks, holographic embossing powder, Spellbinders circle die

Fantastic card love the background love the background stamp and the huge sentiment. Love the whole card. Thanks for playing along with us at SOS for the colour challenge.
This is such a fabulous card. I love the idea of cutting a background into thirds. The vellum base for your sentiment is a great way to allow your background to still shine from behind the sentiment.
Love the blending. Fun card especially with your spider prop!!!!
An official ...I love your card and all the shiny goodness! I am not much for Halloween but this card I love!
