Card Making in the Mountains: October 2014

Happy World Card Making Day! I began my interest in Paper Crafting thanks to my good friend Natalie in Germany! I love World Card Making Day as a hobby unites people of all backgrounds.

I created this card as part of Newton's Nook link up for World Card Making Day, for the Card Concept Color Challenge #20 - Halloween colors of black, orange and white and for Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge -- the finishing touch.

The design I chose was Clean & Layered Design as the card has several layers, embossing, white space as well as a colored image. And I chose, Newton's Nook stamp set -- Newton's Perfect Pumpkin.

The spider web and bat as well as the pumpkin face, Newton and the sentiment were embossed with clear Versamark and Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powder in Black Soot. Newton was colored white with a chalk marker. His hat was colored with black and then Wink of Stella pen in clear glitter. A light orange was applied to the brim of the hat. Two Spectrum Noir markers were used to color the pumpkin before applying the Wink of Stella glitter pen again.

The card has several layers. The main card is black with a matting of white. Then a band of black and the orange layer with the embossing. The image of Newton was cut and layered on a black mat.

I hope you enjoyed my submission for the Card Concept Color Challenge #20 and have a Happy Meow-oween!
