Double D Challenge: Halloween Colors

Hi, friends!  We're doing Halloween colors this time around at Double D, and it doesn't even have to be a Halloween card.  I love that idea!  Here's our board with some color inspiration:

A prize will go out to a random winner.  Creative winners are by team vote.  See the Double D challenge Blog for more details.

I challenged myself to make a pretty card with colors I might use on a Halloween card, but totally NOT a Halloween card.  Have a look:

I made a blended background of olive, warm orange, and rich yellow.  Stamped the beautiful vining flourish over that in black, then topped it with purple butterflies and a purple band.  It's on a purple card base, and the sentiment picks up more of the black.

After I cut and colored the butterfly wings I pressed them into a Versamark pad and embossed with an iridescent embossing powder.  Very sparkly and it stays put!

Treat yourself to a peek at the team's samples.  Remember, it's anything in Halloween colors.  I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Thank you for your time.  Have a beautiful day!
