Sweet Stampin DT card

 This week's Sweet Stampin challenge is  
HALLOWEEN!
We are sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.

I used Silhouette - skull tree for my card.



Now I am not a big fan of Halloween cards ... so this has been a bit of a, well challenge!!! Sorry its not the best pic, but i had to take it at an angle so my reflection wasn't on it!!

The image is printed onto acetate.  I created the background by using distress inks on a peice of carstock.  I punched a circle and tacked it down so I would have a white moon.   I roughly stamped round the edges using a Lavinia bamboo stamp, before sticking the image over the top of it.  I airbrushed some white raffia lace black and stamped a WMS sentiment, again stamped onto a background created with distress inks.  The dp is Basic Grey Eerie.

You know, I think we may actually have been separated at birth. I don't do Halloween either! And I *think* I would have struggled with that even more than I do with ****. You have done a fabby job though Mrs!

Love it.

Hi Cathy, it's a fab card! Love the way you've used the acetate. Made me break out in a cold sweat when I saw Halloween was a theme (for both the DTs I'm on!) - I also don't do Halloween. Sarah
