Hey everyone! Roree here with a Monday challenge for you.
With Halloween just around the corner, I decided to get out the Witch Hazel collection to use for creating today's project. I was playing around with the Spooky Music background stamp and stamped it over a scrap piece of Freckle Dust patterned paper. While I originally was just using it as a practice piece for stamping, I ended up really liked the way it looked. So, I decided to use it for the base of my card.
I added some striped strips from the Spider's Silk patterned paper along the top and bottom of the stamped panel. I cut out a cute little ghost with my die cut machine from white cardstock and vellum, added some black gems for eyes, and placed the ghost in the center of the panel. I stapled a tab from the Tidbits pack to the top right corner of the panel, then I layered a black gem and chipboard star from the Chip 'n Stick chipboard sheet over the right side of the tab. I attached the "Boo!" sentiment from the Chip 'n Stick chipboard sheet to a label from the Label Stickers sheet, added a couple more black gems, and placed the label at the bottom right side of the panel. I finished by adding the panel to the front of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" card to finish.
I wouldn't have normally overlapped two strong and distinctive patterns like this, but I think it works on this card. Such a fun and happy accident!
So here is my challenge to you, create a project mixing one pattern over another. Maybe you will end up with something fun and unique like I did.
