And this one is based on a cool inspiration board, created by none other than my fellow teammie, the fabulous Joy Taylor! Take a look... it's all things eerie and spooky - so many colors and images... something for everyone:
Now, I can count on one hand the number of Halloween cards I've ever made... actually, I can count on two fingers the number of Halloween cards I've made. LOL I don't know why. It's not that I mind the holiday all that much, I just don't make/send out cards for it. But, to each his own, right? ;)
So instead of a Halloween-themed card, I just made a fun, "any time" card, taking my inspiration from the two center photos on the inspiration board above:
I used the colors from the photo of candies (purple, lime, orange, and black... or as close as I could get), and I also liked the photo next to it, with the arrangement of different sized rosettes, layered over one another... so that's what I did here! :) I used a stamp from the new Simon Says Stamp exclusive "For the Record" stamp set for the sentiment, and let me tell you... those stamps are AH-MAZING. Firm but flexible, take ink like a dream, and stamp super crisp. I was VERY impressed, but not surprised. ;) I can't wait to buy
And now, you know the drill... let Joy's awesome collage inspire your project in some way, and then link it up HERE before 8am EST next Wednesday (10-24), and you could win one of these:
...a very generous gift voucher to use at Simon Says Stamp! Just in time to get those holiday projects underway, too. ;)
And of course, don't forget to go HERE to see what the rest of my talented teammates did for this challenge!
Thanks for stopping by and reading today... I hope you were inspired! See you soon. :)
