I know we've only just begun the month of September, but these colours today spoke Halloween to me. The combo are the colours for this week's challenge over at
The Paper Players: Rich Razzleberry, Basic Gray, Old Olive and Whisper White. The sketch is from
Create with Connie and Mary. The area where the bats are (retired punch), is where the sketch has a folded ribbon. I wasn't happy with any of the ribbon I have for this particular colour scheme, so I add the trio of winged creatures. I can't believe that I cut out that jagged edge around the frame. - but once I started I had to keep going. Finally there is the parade of spiders around the edge which I stamped with Basic Gray and then "coloured" in with a Versa Mark Pen so that they weren't too dark.
Hope that your weekend has gone well - It's been a busy weekend here - I've got to get my MDS book done this coming week - that's the goal I've set for myself. I'll be sharing some of those pages with you in the future.
Have a great end to your weekend - Thanks for stopping by!
