Sketch Challenge

 

 

Greetings friends. I participated in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge #701 and thought I would share my design.

This is what the sketch looked like:

I have been anxious to make Halloween cards, so I thought I would use that for the theme of my card. I almost went with tall, skinny pumpkins for the design, but I decided on ghosts instead.

To make the card, I took a forest embossing folder by Memory Box and inked the flat side with black Versafine ink. I then placed dark gray cardstock in the folder and embossed it. By adding the ink, the trees remained the gray of the cardstock and the flat "night" areas picked up the black ink.

I wanted a bit more of a spooky factor, so I added a black graveyard scene by Memory Box on the bottom. All that was left was to add my sentiment to the ghost on the right and pop up all of the ghosts with foam tape.

It ended up being a quick and easy card, but I really liked it.

Thanks for stopping by today!
