I’m back again today with a GREAT sketch challenge from the As You See It Challenge Blog!  This one featured a scalloped element that hung off the edge of the card so I made the card base a tad bit smaller at 4″ x 5-1/2″ so it would still fit in a standard A2 envelope.  I used lots of the new Black & Orange Stampin’ Glitter (I only used the black) with Heat and Stick powder.  Stay tuned for a video on that!

The patterned part on the right is the Witches Brew washi tape on top of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I used the Scallop Edge Punch to make the fun edge.  The witch’s hat and sentiment are from the Best of Halloween set!  These are only available until March 2014, so make sure not to miss out!  LOVE this set!  The witch’s hat was stamped onto the Witches Brew Designer Series paper and cropped out with one of the circles from the Circles Collection Framelits dies.  I then layered it onto a 2-1/2″ circle punched out of Basic Black cardstock.  Those were layered onto the 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and popped up on dimensionals.  *TIP:  Since the edge of the circle hangs over the edge, make sure not to put adhesive on the very right side of it as it doesn’t have anything to adhere to, so the adhesive will be sticky and exposed.  I made the black glittery strip with by pressing my VersaMark pad directly onto Basic Black cardstock, covering it in Heat and Stick Powder, heating it, covering it in the black glitter, and then heating it to set it.  Honestly, it’s faster to do it than it is to type it!  🙂

I finished it off by stamping the sentiment in VersaMark and embossing it with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  I punched it out with the Modern Label Punch, chopped off the very edge and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals!  I wanted a little more pizzazz so I added a few fun embellishments to draw the eye to the sentiment!  I used Pumpkin Pie Candy Dots (from the Brights Candy Dots), Basic Rhinestone Jewels, and a Glimmer Brad.  One of the tiny rhinestones is colored with a black Sharpie marker to color it to match the project.

I hope you love it as much as I do!  The only change I would make is to have a narrower black glittery strip.  I had already glued it down to the card so I couldn’t fix it without redoing the whole card!  (Hate it when that happens!)

Please head on over to the As You See It Challenge Blog and play along with us!!!  You have from each Friday until the next Thursday to enter.  I’m LOVING being on this Design Team and all of the creativity!  🙂
