DD#20, RS#29 & CFC70

There are so many fantastic challenges in blogland this week and all scream for Halloween to me.  I combined the Dynamic Duos #20: Black Tie Lucky Limeade and Basic Black with a dessert options of  a Halloween Theme along with this week's RetroSketch and CAS-ual Fridays challenges.  I followed Laurie's sketch from RetroSketches pretty closely.  This is my second card for CAS-ual Fridays this week which was black & white plus one other colour.

I pulled out a really old set of Hero Arts wood block Halloween Ink n' Stamp, I am not even sure the name of the set as they don't carry it anymore.  I used some of the images that I could enhance with some Copic markers.  I created some inchies, rounded the corners and mounted them onto 1 1/4" Simply Chartreuse square also with the corners rounded and then adhered them to a True Black panel that had been embossed with Papertrey's Herringbone Impression Plate.  The mummy is a glittered chipboard accent from My Minds Eye Boo to You from my stash.






     




Cardstock:  White, Simply Chartreuse, True Black (Papertrey Ink)
Stamps: Hero Arts Ink n' Stamp
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)
Impression Plate: Herringbone (Papertrey Ink)
other: glitter mummy (My Minds Eye), black twine (The Twinery), Copic marker (YG25)

Tracey, this is just way too cute and that mummy, just so sweet! How fun to pull some of those older stamps out to play with, I have a drawer full of them that I go through every once in a while. This is just so perfect for Halloween and I love those colors. Just so fun!

Very cool, Tracey. ;-) I love the little images you used, and that green on the spider's eyes makes him even MORE nasty! LOL. Oh man, I can't stand spiders. I love the herringbone background, too, and that cute little chipboard mummy. And the twine is perfect! Nice job. ;-)
