SugarPea Designs- CCC#5

Happy Monday everyone! It's time for another creative color challenge over at the SugarPea Design Blog.
 
This months colors just "Scream" Halloween and since it's my favorite holiday to make cards for, I figured why not create one and get ahead of the game.

 
Can you believe I did absolutely no coloring on this card.... This is a very rare occasion for me, but I love how this card turned out.
I cut a circle out of my card base and pattern overlay(placing a smaller circle die in the middle of the larger die created my frame for around the circle).
 I then cut out two of each color of my bats, so I could place my twine in between them.
Taking some 3d foam tape I popped up my pattern overlay and then place my twined bats behind and adhered to card base.
I was going to use some clear fishing twine in place of the white but I didn't feel like destroying the craft room to find it lol. I will definitely re-create either this card or something like it  once I find it .

SugarPea Designs SPDSS30

Hello and Happy Monday! Hope you all had an amazing weekend :) I hope this week goes by really slow, as it's my last week of maternity leave. These last 5 weeks have gone by way to fast and I am not ready to go back to work. It's been so nice being able to be home with my two boys, but duty calls as do the bills. It's been nice being able to craft, whenever I want, well whenever the baby sleeps and I find time. I was able to find a little bit of time this weekend to get a couple cards done. Today, I am going to share a card with you all that I made for the new sugar sketch challenge over at the SugarPea Design blog.
I used the new, Eek-A-Boo stamp set and put my sweet little ghost on an action wobble.
I colored using my Spectrum Aquas and then fussy cut him out.
Colors used: Slate, Charcoal, Gold, Orange & Peach
 
Pattern papers: Black Polka Dot Acetate- Bella Blvd
Trick or Treat- Carta Bella
After Dark- Crate Paper
