I do love elegant cards, even for Halloween, so this was really fun to put together. I started by using my newest stencil, the concentric circles by MFT. Finally remembered to use the technique of inking a stencil (Memento gray & black), spritzing & then laying it on the cardstock. For this card I randomly wiped off some of the ink before laying it on the cardstock. The stitching is done with Lil' Inker stitched rectangles. I black embossed the Memory Box sentiment at the bottom of the panel. The MFT Primitive Pumpkins were die cut from self-adhesive fun foam & then covered with Elizabeth Craft Cool Highlight glitter. It's the glitter that becomes super smooth & shiny when burnished--really beautiful! Behind the pumpkins is the MFT Elegant Scrollwork die cut. I attached the panel to the card with foam tape. Here are the challenges I'm entering: Memory Box #5 (black & white), Freshly Made Sketches, Verve October Challenge (black, white & glam) & CAS-ual Chic #4 (stenciling, die cutting, embossing). Thanks so much for stopping by.
Love, love, love this! Great design in all white with different textures and hints of black! Gorgeous! Thanks for playing along with us at the CAS-ual Chic Challenge!
