Hello! I'm popping in with an entry for a challenge over on the talented Lea Lawson's blog. She has a WPlus9 stamp set up for grabs, so you know I have to play for a chance to win! The challenge is to make a stamped Halloween project. Easy peasy!
I don't have any fall or Halloween stamps from WPlus9, but I wanted to use some of Dawn's stamps that I do have, so I pulled out two favorites: Spring Post and Postmarks. On a kraft panel, I repeatedly stamped the postage in white ink. I love this image because you can customize it with any small stamps in your collection. I chose the pumpkin from PTI's Tag-its #7.
I stamped the tag and sentiment from Tag-its #7 onto a Mat Stack 2 label, then added an orange postmark with "October" and "31", from WPlus9's Postmarks. Orange buttons and some brown and white twine finish the card front.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Orange Zest, Kraft, white), Stampin' Up! (Early Espresso)
Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (Spring Post, Postmarks), Papertrey Ink (Tag-its #7)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Early Espresso), Clearsnap (Frost White), Ranger (Spiced Marmalade)
Tools: Papertrey Ink (Mat Stack 2, Limitless Layers dies)
Accessories: Papertrey Ink (buttons), baker's twine, thread
I haven't given you a peek at the inside of a card for a while, so here you go:
