Paper Cutz Challenge 59 - Halloween but no black or orange

I have a DT card to show you today for the challenge over at Paper Cutz.  the theme is Halloween, but you are asked not to use black or orange on your project.


I don't normally make Halloween cards and I sold my Tilda and Edwin stamps earlier this summer as I had hardly used them.  This left me with a problem - what image to use.  I found this digital image at Bugaboo Stamps - it's one of their freebies at the moment.  I thought at least with this image I didn't have to use black or orange.  I went with green and purple instead.  The image has been coloured with Copics and I added some Glossy Accents to her shoes.  Luckily I kept hold of a set of Hero Arts clear Halloween sentiment stamps.  I went with a fun sentiment instead of just a simple 'Happy Halloween'.  I used Magnolia backing paper and green textured cardstock from Papermania and finished the card off with a witches hat button and some purple ribbon.

I hope that you will pop over to the challenge blog and join us in this week's challenge.  While you're visiting why not check out the rest of the DT, they have some fantastic inspiration for you.

Super cute card, Samantha. I'm going to have to go check out that freebie image. Did you notice how many of DT went with purple and green? Perfect sentiment.
