When I saw this week’s Global Design Project color challenge (Gorgeous Grape, Lemon Lime Twist, and Basic Black) I thought the colors would be perfect for a Halloween card. What do you think? Look for all of the Global Design Project Designers on Facebook and Instagram. Share and tag #GDP461 to play along with this challenge.
To design my Halloween card, I used the Playful Ghosts Stamp Set from Online Exclusives. First, I stamped the friendly ghost in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Spotlight on Nature Die for cutting. Then, I used Stampin’ Write Markers for coloring in four colors: Gorgeous Grape, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Black, and Wild Wheat. The markers come in color family packs, which you can see in my Product List below.
For the ghost’s background, I used two, larger, Spotlight On Nature Dies to cut Gorgeous Grape Cardstock and Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock. The white and purple circles were raised on Dimensionals, while the green circle was glued to Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. The white layer was glued to a Gorgeous Grape card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I embossed the white layer with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder.
“Trick or treat” is from the Playful Ghosts Stamp Set, and I stamped it in Memento Black Ink. To balance the design, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
