Deconstructed Sketch No. 169
Are you ready for Deconstructed Sketch 169? I hope you like it! Here’s the scoop on what you need to do:
1. Use the sketch up top to make a project, any kind you like using any image you like. Use the sketch to inspire your own creativity. Feel free to substitute shapes for what you have available and mount tags and circles to a card base if you’d prefer.
2. Post it somewhere on the internet (your personal blog, Splitcoaststampers, Flickr, Pinterest, etc). Use keyword DS169.
3. Link back here to Inlinkz at the bottom of the post.
For my card I pulled out Totally Tags Halloween and got to work. I stamped the scalloped Trick or Treat tag on Sugar Cube cardstock and then sponged the center with Spiced Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink. I then embossed the center with clear embossing powder. The heat from the embossing seemed to fade the surrounding black ink but I ended up liking the look so I left it alone. Next I die cut the spider web from the Spiders and Spider Web dies out of vellum and attached it to the back of the scalloped tag. I then made the background by sponging Sugar Cube cardstock with Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade and Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. I then flicked a little water on it to create the water spots and then I embossed it with the Harlequin Embossing Folder from TE. The pumpkin and black cat are die cut using Gothic Window Accessories. The sentiment is from Bushel and a Peck.
