Mojo 102



What a fun sketch this was this week! I'm sure to use it again, perhaps for some Xmas cards.
I added two views so you could see the shiny embossing on one and then get a head on look on the other.
Here are the details:
The pumpkin image came from a clear acrylic set by Heidi Grace. The other two images are from a Halloween set from Inkadinkado. I embossed all the images and then colored the pumpkin with SU markers. I did a lot of sponging on each white piece to give them a more spooky look. I cut out the "Trick or Treat" with a nestie and mounted to the back of a piece SU pumpkin pie cardstock. I punched the corners of the pumpkin pie piece with my new MS web corner punch. Then I did a little paper piercing around the top and bottom of the circle on the orange paper. I really like how this turned out. It's a bit of a stretch for the sketch I know.
I also used the web punch on the upper righhand corner of my black backing piece. That black paper is by Bo Bunny and I ran it through my CB using the trees embossing folder for some texture. The ribbon is from Michael's and the brads were in a pack called "Fright Night" by Queen and Co. I found them on clearance on some website a while ago. I popped the orange piece, the "Trick or Treat", the Boo and the pumpkin all up on dimensionals because I just don't do flat cards:))
Has anyone seen the new SU mini? Well, there is a Halloween set in there I simply have to own
called Twick or Tweet. It has a skeleton with one leg held up in the air that has a small dog attached to it. There is a sentiment to go with it that reads "It's Halloween...enjoy every bite. I'm ordering it this weekend and hope it will be here so I have time to whip up a card before Halloween with it. The mini has a picture of a darling treat box done up with that stamp. Very cute!

  4. I love this card! I took one look at the sketch and didn't know what I would do with the little side blocks and moved on to another sketch. You did a great job with it! I can't wait to get those Martha spider web punches too. Aren't they adorable?
