Creative Inspiration with a Colour Combination


Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The Spooky Sweet Suite Collection features cute costumed animals, along with haunted house and other spooky images that are perfect for all your Halloween projects.
 

The tag element was carefully cut from the Spooky Sweet 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, and the long rectangle mini punch from the Hole Punch Assortment used to create a hole at the top of the tag. A length of Petunia Pop ¼" (6.4 mm) Iridescent Ribbon was threaded through the hole, and tied in a knot.

The sparkle image from the Spooky Halloween Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped randomly over a folded Petunia Pop card base using Petunia Pop Classic Stampin' Ink™. Fence and haunted house elements were die cut from Basic Black Cardstock using the dies from the coordinating Spooky Halloween Dies. The fence die cut was adhered to the card front first, then the tag, and then the house element added on top.

The Frankenstein dog image, also from the Spooky Halloween set, was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink. The image was coloured using Stampin' Blends™ (Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Petunia Pop, and Timid Tiger), and cut out using the coordinating die. The sentiment was also stamped on a 3½" x ½" strip of Basic White using Memento Ink, and separated into two rectangles.

The two-part sentiment and Halloween character were added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals™. Black Shimmer Star Foam Stickers were added as the final embellishments.

Creative Inspiration with a Colour Combination

And here's the project it inspired:


Create a spooky scene with the Potions & Spells Bundle and share a little hocus pocus with your friends.
 

The cauldron image from the Potions & Spells Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped on Basic Black Cardstock using VersaMark™ Ink and embossed with Opaque Bright White powder from the Basics WOW! Embossing Powder 3-pack. The image was then cut out using the coordinating die from the Potions & Spells Dies.

The rest of the scene's elements were cut using dies from the same set. The cauldron sludge and bubbles were die cut from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock. The broom handle was cut from Pecan Pie Cardstock, and the brush head from Crushed Curry Cardstock. The potion bottle was cut from Basic White Cardstock, and the bottle filler and potion pour were cut from Berry Burst Cardstock.

A layer of Basic Gray Cardstock was embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder. The die cut elements were arranged as shown to create the scene, with the cauldron and potion bottle adhered using Stampin' Dimensionals and the other elements all adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The sentiment was stamped using Berry Burst Classic Stampin' Ink on a thin strip of Basic White Cardstock. The left-hand side was cut to a flag shape using Paper Snips, and the sentiment banner added to the top right corner of the embossed layer using Stampin' Dimensionals. The completed panel was adhered to a Basic Gray folded card base, again using Stampin' Dimensionals.
