Hello, and welcome to another Double D Challenge! I like the title and theme of Diane's challenge this time around -- To Spook or not to Spook. Make a Halloween card, or a pink card for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, or combine the two by making a pink Halloween card. Cute!
Pictured below is the inspiration board and a prize for a random winner. The DD team votes on creative winners as well. See the challenge blog for more details.
I made a straight up Halloween card in order to use my never-been-used Spooky Ghost & Crow die set by Cottage Cutz. Those dang sales at The Scrapping Cottage... I try to resist, but I do enjoy these dies. I combined with other dies from my stash to craft the rest of the card.
I cut in white and colored with inks and brushes. The frame is glitter cardstock and I added Orange Peel Stickles glitter to the star on the crow's hat.
In the photo below I mostly wanted to capture the semi-gloss on the crow's beak. I painted it with clear top coat nail polish to make it look more beak-ish. A person can add more coats after the first is dry to achieve different levels of gloss without it turning too glossy. Just a fun thing for small parts. Try different colors or maybe glitter or chrome polish. I've got a few bottles left over from the old days. I'm more of a file and buff kinda gal with all the gardening and dog cuddling I do.
I can't wait to see what you all share in the Double D gallery! The team has a fabulous variety of inspiration for you, so be sure to head over and visit. Thank you so much!
