BOO!

Hello friends and visitors! Only a few more hours and Brenda's Halloween challenge is closed! I hadn't planned on making another Halloween project just yet, but a Pinterest tablescape caught my eye, and I just had to go play!



Here's the beautiful Halloween table I spotted on Pinterest. Aren't those drinks yummy?

Halloween tablescape.  Love the owl plates!!:

I don't have much time for details, but I will say I used my Tim Holtz Thinlits Doily and Frantic Stamper Fern dies for the first time here. The ferns were cut out of a giant candy bar wrapper and colored with Twisted Citron Distress paint. I colored the stamens and sentiment to match with Distress paint and marker. The doily was colored with black gesso followed by Brushed Pewter distress paint and backed with a handcut and distressed card stock circle. The flowers are store bought from Michaels and given a coat of black gesso and Twinkling H2O's drybrushed to highlight.  I added a couple of layers of Tammy Tutterow's Shabby Posies to make one of them larger. A Spellbinders circle die is covered with Rock Candy Distress Glitter colored with Black Soot Alcohol ink. A snippet of an Impression Obsession twig wreath, a Chit Chat sticker, and a heat embossed owl from Martha Stewart complete my card.



  


I'm sharing my card with Brenda's Halloween giveaway and these challenges:
Scrapy Land Challenge #51 Anything Goes using any die Scrapy Land sells I used a Sizzix, Frantic Stamper, Impression Obsession, and 2 Spellbinders dies.
Die Cut Divas October is the Time to Emboss I embossed the owl and I guess you could say the background is embossing with stencil and paste.
Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments! I read and appreciate them all!
Hugs and Blessings!

  17. Hi Sara! Just stopped in to say thank you for the wonderful welcome back comment, you sure did put a smile on my face. Your card is just fantabulous, wow!! I love that image you used for inspiration and I'm thinking perhaps some sort of melon liqueur in those yummy looking drinks!! The black and white damask background was the perfect choice here! LOVE IT!

    Can't wait to see what you create next time my friend. Sending big hugs :)
