Hi there crafty friends!
Today we start a new color challenge at the Color Hues Color Challenge Blog! The new colours are brought to you by my very teammate Karen Walker! She has chosen Orange and Green and What a perfect combination for September.
My mind went straight to Halloween! I pulled out some Tim Holtz because as we all know he does Halloween well! More on that as we go.
I started off with a piece of light grey cardstock and used Distress Oxide Ink in Hickory Smoke and Black Soot to create my background panel and fun clouds from the Tim Holtz Edison die set. I attached the clouds to the panel using Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Thin Foam Squares.
Next I created the star of the show the Tim Holtz Edison Pumpkin!
The pumpkin has three dies for the body and two dies for the stem. I cut the bottom layer of the pumpkin with neon green cardstock, the middle layer with a medium orange cardstock and the top layer with a darker orange cardstock. I ink blended some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink on to the edge of the top layer for some more depth.
The layers of he pumpkin were glued together with liquid adhesive and the pumpkin was added to the card front with regular foam tape! This makes the pumpkin just a bit proud of the clouds. The neon green layer makes the pumpkin really glow!
Two googley eyes were added to the jack-o-lantern just for fun!
The pumpkin stem was cut from light green and dark green cardstock and then added to the top of the pumpkin.
I die cut 'boo' from the Tim Holtz Vault Release Gothic Portraits three times with black cardstock and glued them together with liquid adhesive to create a dimensional word. That was glued with liquid adhesive to the bottom of the pumpkin.
Here is a close up of the pumpkin, of course the layers show up much more in real life. This is my first Halloween card for this year.
Thank you so much for stopping by today!
I can't wait to see what you do with the challenge colours!!

His googly eyes sealed the deal for me. This is such a fun Halloween card, Tracey! The background looks amazing as well and so spooky! Wonderful job!
That pumpkin is fabulous! All those layers show up very well in your photos. And, of course, "he" pops right off the card with your beautifully blended background! And the googley eyes are the best!

Ah, Tracey, I have a whole pile of TH Halloween stuff and Edison is one of my favorites, so I was super delighted to see you bring him out to play! Love the contrast of him against the spooky background you made and those googlie eyes? C'mon! Fantastic card!
I spotted Tim's pumpkin right away and I love that you went neon for the greens! I'm sure that he glows in the dark--so fabulous!
Oh my goodness--this is sooo good! I'm not big on Halloween, but I just adore your fun card, Tracey!
