The color is more vivid than I captured in the photo & it's so pretty on SSS Fog cardstock. I brushed the die cut with Wink of Stella--just love the shimmer!
A black Zig has become my favorite way to get tiny splatters & the sentiment from SSS Thoughtful Messages was stamped in Versafine Smokey Gray. I still have a lot of gems & fortunately one package included gray--adds some sparkle, but doesn't distract from the delicate focal point. I'm entering SSS Flickr Challenge 101, SSS Monday & SSS Work It Wednesday.
I really want to get back to regularly entering MFT challenges & use my many goodies from them. Kind of wierd, but I'm starting off with a Halloween card!
Actually, when I saw the sketch it reminded me of the star border in MFT Primitive Pumpkins. I stamped it in Distress Oxide Twisted Citron on a kraft card base & stamped the sentiment from the same set in Memento Rich Cocoa. I attached Grape Jelly felt to cardstock & then die cut with one of the pumpkins in the coordinating die set. I tied on a piece of brown twine & added a little wooden star covered with Nuvo Glaze before attaching it to the card. Finished off with 3 SSS Mocha Java sequins. I'm entering MFT Sketch 393. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

Such a fun idea with the Halloween card and love the felt pumpkin and the star strip....great colour combination. What a sweet first card and ever so pretty. Love the bit of bling, the gentle way you coloured in the pretty die cut and the fog card stock looks fabulous...as does your card x.
