I am excited to host this week's challenge over at The Paper Players with a sketch that I designed!
It's funny, this sketch is a little more layered than most of my cards lately but I really just wanted to work with paper and layers!
I also really wanted to play with this new bundled stamp set and framelits called Brightly Lit Christmas....and I REALLY wanted to use it to make a Halloween card! So, I did. :-) With the help of the new cat punch, that is. The background paper is long ago retired but, of course, I hoarded it and still have plenty. The rest of the card is quite simple--there's hardly any stamping. I will admit, as much as I like the cute lampost once it's put together, it is time consuming! Not sure how many of these I would make. I do like the separate die that cuts a piece to go behind the lantern to light it up. I took my color cue from the paper and used [retired] More Mustard for the inserts as well as the sponged circle behind the lamp. I'm afraid once I assembled everything, my mojo--as well as my time--had run out so I didn't finish the inside for you today. In fact, I'm going to cut this short as we just recently arrived back home from an all-day volleyball tournament and this volleyball mama is ti-red!
I love what my teammates did with my sketch so I do hope you will go check them out at The Paper Players. Maybe they will inspired you to play along with us before the challenge ends on Friday, September 29th at Noon (PST). Thanks for stopping by!

Nance, I love this sketch - it was so great to work with. Oh... I love your black cat as the central element and he works so well against that fabulous DSP. Your shading around your lamp post is fantastic. Fabulous card, my friend.

Nance, this is the BEST sketch! I had so many ideas for it! Your black cat is illuminated under that beautiful glow from your street light! WOW! A perfect scene! I hope you have a great week and I hope the volleyball tournament was a lot of fun!!! XX
Nance I loved working with this sketch and love what you've done with it. Your little Halloween scene is wonderful, from the glow of the lamplight to the spooky black cat!

Lovely! I love that soft glow of light that you've added - it just brings the whole arrangement to life. Your sketch is wonderful - so many possibilities - it's one to keep, that's for sure.
Nance what a great card! Love the lamppost used for Halloween... so creative. I also LOVE how you sponged the "glow" of the lamps. This is also a great way to use the Cat punch. Very nice... and I too... hoard ALL my old DSP. 8-)
