Challenge number 5 is up and ready at Pals Paper Arts.
So, are YOU ready to join us and say "I Love to Play @ PPA"? The rules are simple:
- Create with the Halloween theme in mind
- Upload your card to Pals Paper Arts by Tuesday, September 1 (Noon CST)
- If you upload to an online gallery, enter PPA5 in the keyword section
- Most importantly ... play, play, play!
I went non-traditional with my Halloween sample for this weeks challenge. I am loving the color combination of Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black.
If you look closely enough you'll see that I used a fun polka dotted window sheet on top of my sentiment. It is secured by four silver Stampin' Up! brads (one in each corner).
These window sheets come from the soon-to-be-released Night & Day Specialty Paper. You'll find this designer paper in the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog. It is one of my favorite Stampin' Up! paper collections to date. Think black, white and oh so elegant ... and is not limited to use for Halloween. You'll see what I mean when the catalog is released September 1, 2009!
My Bat is perched atop two white circle aluminum tags (2" and 1 1/2"). This image is from Batty For You... a perfect set to use with your circle punches.
Each spooky image fits perfectly in a 1 1/4" circle or punch out most images alone using your 1" circle punch.
Only 5 more days to save ...

Halloween already?? It's near 100 degrees here in Sacramento, CA! Guess I'll dig out my Halloween stash and get to creating. You're always an inspiration to me, Kris; thanks! Love your card....

Love the layered polka dot sheet over Bermuda Bay. Striking with orange. I used my metal edge tags, too.

Kris, thanks for the color combo suggestion of Bermuda Bay and orange. I wouldn't have thought of it myself. It gives us more options to use this color in the fall.
