Up, Up & Away

Hi friends!  I only had time for one challenge card this week so I went with The Paper Players Challenge #259 which is a sketch challenge:

I thought I'd use this fun sketch to get a jump on my Halloween cards, so here you go!

 

I inked up the background with Distress inks and used a white gel pen for tiny stars.  The moon is a die cut circle from the I can't throw anything away box.  I distressed the edges and added shimmer spray.  I wish it photographed better - it's really shimmery!  The banner element is actually the punched out pieces of a border die.  I used the negative to glue them on the card so the spacing wasn't all over the place.  The witch silhouette is popped up with foam adhesive.  I finished it off with a sentiment from a hot air balloon stamp set.  Here's the stuff I used:

 

Cardstock:  Neenah Solar White, DCWV black glitter, TSOL Licorice

Inks:  Distress (Hickory Smoke, Chipped Sapphire, Festive Berries, Squeezed Lemonade, VersaFine Onyx Black

Stamp(s):  The Stamps of Life "hot4balloons"

Die(s):  Sizzix/Tim Holtz "Courtyard" border, Lifestyle Crafts "Witches"

Other:  MFT Shimmer Spray, Signo white gel pen, Heidi Grace rhinestones

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a terrific weekend ~ rain forecasted here...finally!
