This is a card I made for the http://retrosketches.blogspot.com.au card challenge. I needed a few more Halloween cards so that is the direction I went with the design. I used the Witches Brew DSP and a circle punch for the circles and wow I opened up that DSP pack further than I had done before and I love it. I found this darling Chevron design in there too. How cute is that? Love it! My base is Pumpkin Pie and then Summer Starfruit which I textured with the Chevron EF and corner rounded with the Envelope Punch Board. It tickles me pink when I can use one tool for two things. I looked at the DSP and punched out specific designs out of the DSP for my circles to lay them out. I framed the Chevron design with Basic Black Card Stock and then adhered the circles with Glue Dots. The only stamping I did was the cute tag where I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes. I lined up both ends of the banner and stuck it once again in the Hexagon Punch to make my banner edges from the back side and punched them out. Then I trimmed the other end to be the same. I added a Designer Button and found some Baker's Twine from Primo that was Black and White so put that through my button and Walla, here is my card. I love the way it turned out. Those retro sketches are always so cute I think.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous bright colours..I love how the zig zags go in different directions on the background and on the DP! Thanks for playing along this week at Retro Sketches!
ReplyDeleteDo you know I hadn't even realised we had that dsp in the holiday catalogue! haha. But we really don't get into Halloween over here so much. Kids in the neighbourhood do dress up and go trick or treating though. I usually have a big bowl of lollies to hand out and put a few decorations on the door for them. I have a black cat sitting on a broom and some cardboard spiders hanging off purple and orange tinsel. And that is it for me. (that is about as exciting as our street gets). I really like your card and the dsp is cool. Vx
