If you're a stamper and you like challenges, or you're new to the idea of challenges and want to give one a whirl, I invite you to participate with The Challenge Chicks! We're a small group of friends and stampers hosting monthly challenges. Won't you join us?!
Our challenge for October 2013 is being shared today! This month's challenge is Halloween, but there's a twist! It's Halloween with NO Orange, NO Green, and NO Purple!
For my project, I chose to use a few of my Whipper Snapper Designs Halloween themed stamps. For the background image, I used Halloween Toss stamped in black StazOn ink on paper from the My Mind's Eye 6x6 Mischievous paper pad. I added a strip of black glitter ribbon for a little pizazz. The sentiment is from my Spooky Expressions cling mount set. I love when I finally get to pull this set out for projects!!
I hand cut the sentiment banner...
...and added a cute black pumpkin die cut under the black button for a little something extra. The pumpkin die is from The Stamps of Life.
On the inside of the card, I added another sentiment from the Spooky Expressions cling mount set, and stamped the dangly spider from the same set.
Now, get yourself a good dose of inspiration and check out the rest of The Challenge Chicks projects:
