Stampin B's & Stamp TV Sketch


This week on Stampin Bs Vicky Gould has challenged us to make a Halloween card without orange and black.  Naturally, purple came to mind. I used MFP stamp set Broom Rides.  I also used chocolate chip instead of black for the silhouettes of the bats.  I downloaded a picture of skull and bones - I don't do Halloween (except eat the candy) so this will be the last H card you see from me.  I really dislike this holiday~~.lol.





This is the sketch I used for Stamp TV.  I used this same sketch on my Color Challenge card, I loved it so much, I wanted to share it with the Stamp TV members!  I used my favorite GKD set Take Flight with some Tropical Flowers in the background.



I didn't do quite as well with the white gel dots on the butterfly as I wanted, but I love the effect of highlighting the image.

I adore the butterfly card, so beautiful, but I have to say I am most impressed by your AMAZING colouring of the sky and moon, would love to know more about your technique for that as it looks fabulous!

Fab cards Vicki! I always go to purple for Halloween before any of the other colors. Using brown was ingenious!
The butterfly card is stunning! So pretty and eye catching!
