10/17/24 - Cardz 4 Galz #236 Color Challenge - Playful Ghosts

Today’s at Cardz 4 Galz, we are making cards that contain Black/Purple/Orange/Green and guess what, I used them ALL!! I am usually not good at color challenge but I found a safe way to do that – creating background using those colors!! I used 2 different circle negatives and sponge the color to use as a background. Then I used Stazon Black to stamp the images and colored it in with Watercolor Pencil and Blender Pen to smooth out the lines. Orange circles has a pumpkin, Purple circle has a cute *witch* on a bloom with coordiating coloring. Then the green circle has a sentiment. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharing today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

Now a day October has an extra special meaning to me. I love fall in the midwest and now October is also my son’s birthday month! Today’s card is created for the MTTC Fall/Autumn challenge and I use the Build a Bee punch to create a pumpkin! I saw a really clever card using the punch for pumpkin and wanted to CASE it. I sponge the side of the pumpkins to give it a little more dimension. The DSP is from the current Holiday/Winter Mini Catalog and Everyday Details Dies. Love the simplicity of this card.
