This never happens! I started to make a card for The Paper Players #805 using Jaydee's fun sketch when I spied with my little eye the 'leftover' panel from that fabulous Maple tree trunk that I cut at Carrie's house. If you know me at all, I really try to use the negatives from die cuts and will specifically arrange a die thinking ahead to how I might use it later... later happened today!
I first cut the panel down using my old faithful Wonky Rectangle die from MFT.
Then, I masked my tree using one of my Penny Black essential masks and added a moon in Fossilized Amber ink blended Black Soot over the rest of the panel and backed it to make the tree trunk black!
I reached for a favorite Halloween die set from SSS: Big Bat - but just used the
sentiment - using the second color in Color Hues #142: burnt red.
Just us Girls #843 is asking for Halloween dies! This Bat Trio from SSS spooks me-
and the 'hey, boo' is my go-to for my granddaughter, Lola.
Nothing left to do but give it all a spooky spritz of TH Mica spray and voila!
ONE card - THREE challenges done and dusted!
I have spent a great deal of time in my studio playing cards with all of those wonderful Altenew sets Carrie sent me home with... I'll be sharing those soon, I promise.
Until then, we're still blooming butterflies but the weather is making it pretty hard on these delicate little friends of ours. The sun is shining today, and I hope it warms up enough for their wings to strengthen for that long flight to Mexico!
Have a great weekend my friends!
