Tracey has chosen Orange and Black for the mid-October Color Hues Challenge.
It’s perfect for Halloween, but I did try to move in a different direction. But since I need five Halloween cards, that’s where I ended up.
I purchased two die sets for Halloween this year. Both sets were designed to use with larger, earlier related dies. For Spellbinders the Halloween City Holiday Decorations was intended to use with a house design. The same is true for The Greetery’s Market Place Eerie Avenue dies. I’ve been working on these in between other projects. I posted the first one here.
For this one, I started with the Spellbinder’s Color Block Accent Arches along with the SB Essential Arches to create a shaped card. Most of the dies I used for the focal image are from The Greetery. I added a couple of ghosts from the Spellbinder’s set. There’s no stamping at all here, thanks to the Happy Halloween banner which fit perfectly across the arch. Although I die cut the three bats from black shimmer paper, they still don’t show up clearly in the photos. Even in the close-up you need to search for them. Because I layered three together for some dimension, in real life, they are pretty obvious.
I’ll be back before long with the rest of the Halloween cards. Until then, check out the creative cards created by our Guest Designer, Annette Elias, and the Design Team at the Color Hues Blog.
I’m sending this off to the Festive Friday Challenge: Halloween. You need to include at least three elements from their list. I have five: orange, black, die cuts, bats, and a Halloween sentiment. It’s also going to Darnell’s I.D.E.A.S. This is week two for Dies.
