BSU100318

Hello stampers,
     So yesterday I asked on my Facebook page if anyone has had one of those days that whatever project you touched was ruined in some way. That was me on Monday as I was trying to stamp cards for this week's posts, so I ended up walking away from it all very frustrated. Yesterday I redeemed myself to at least to get today's challenge card done & on the 4th try I got it assembled with no problems. YAY! This week's BSU challenge was to make a card using a Halloween/Fall themed card. I'm not a huge Halloween type of person, but I did end up making a card for it.
     For the base, I started out with Gorgeous Grape Card Stock, followed by a layer of Whisper White Card Stock that was run through the Big Shot using the retired Spider Web TIEF, then stamped with 2 little spiders from the September Paper Pumpkin kit using Memento Black Ink. For the stamped piece, I used the Making Every Day Bright Stamp Set for the lights & string using Memento Black Ink. I took the solid bulb from the Making Christmas Bright Stamp Set to add Lemon Lime Twist Ink & Gorgeous Grape Ink give the bulbs color. The sentiments came from the September Paper Pumpkin Kit. This piece was then backed by a layer of Lemon Lime Twist Card Stock before being adhered to the card.
