Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge--Spooky Scene


Believe it or not, folks, it is officially October!  This is my favorite month of the year, so I'm ready to ring it in with a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge.  Our theme this time is Spooky Scene:


We have another fabulous sponsor this month.  Danielle Walls, owner of Neat & Tangled, provided all of the designers with one of her darling Halloween themed stamp sets for this challenge.  She is also offering up any stamp set in the Neat & Tangled shop to this week's LEAD!  
I chose to work with the Graveyard Shift stamp set, and I couldn't resist this cute little spider.  I stamped his web repeatedly on white cardstock, then placed it behind a die cut window in black cardstock.

After adding the sentiment banner, strip of purple patterned paper, and popped up spider, the card front felt like it needed something more.  So I stamped and heat embossed the web image several times in the bottom corner and added a sprinkling of purple sequins.

Cardstock:  WPlus9 Design Studio (Black, White), Papertrey Ink (Orange Zest)
Patterned paper:  Pebbles (Trick or Treat)
Stamps:  Neat & Tangled (Graveyard Shift)
Ink:  Memento (Tuxedo Black), Versamark
Tools:  Papertrey Ink (Mat Stack 3, Double Ended Banner dies)
Other:  Filigree (white embossing powder), Factory Direct Crafts (sequins), Zig (Wink of Stella glitter brush)

The Curtain Call Crew has even more spooky inspiration for you this week!  Be sure to see their designs over on the Curtain Call Challenge blog, where you can also link up your take on this week's inspiration.

Many thanks for your visit today!  Happy October!
