Hello All! Time for a new challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters blog. Today's challenge is being hosted my MWAH and the theme I have chosen is: The Colors of Halloween Now, even though we are using the colors of Halloween, it doesn't have to be a Halloween card/project ... BUT, you must use at least TWO of the colors shown above. Here's what I came up with ... To pull together the colors I wanted to use, I went right to my watercolor paper and Ken Oliver Color Bursts. They always make for such a striking background!! And I am certainly pleased with today's panel! I just received the Lawn Fawn 'Large and Small Cross Stitched Rectangle Stackables' and so got busy creating the frame I wanted to use for this bold and beautiful background panel. Since it's really hard to see the detail of these dies on the photo above, I've cropped a portion of the photo so you can see that wonderful cross stitched detail. How fortunate for me that I just happened to have the correct color sequins in my stash. Perfect accent along with the fun I/O Balloon which I have flying in the corner with a Baker's twine string. I've coordinated the inside sentiment by using two panels cut with the same cross stitched rectangle dies and balloon. That pretty much does it for me today! I hope you'll come join in our challenge fun! I look forward to seeing what YOU create using the Colors of Halloween!!
