For
this fortnight’s challenge at Craft-Room Challenges, Annie has chosen the theme
of “something old and something new”.
Well, I had just gotten some stamps and I actually made another card for
this challenge, but, I didn’t like it.
So, I made another one – my something old is the Dresden frame (which I have had for over 10 years) and my
something new is the card? Or, the DCWV paper stack which I never used before (ok, not exactly new, but. . .)?
Take your pick.
The
days are getting cooler and shorter and that means my very favorite holiday is
right around the corner ~ Halloween!!

I
don’t have a lot of pictures for this one as it’s pretty self-explanatory – I began
with an A2 white card base and went from there.
I measured the inside of my Dresden frame and started up my Silhouette
Cameo. I found a skull cut file & sized it so I could fit it in my frame
and cut it out of plain white cardstock.
The orange and purple papers are from the DCWV The Halloween Stack – the
orange paper has a bit of texture to it, with some very fine dots and the
purple is slightly metallic. This is the
first time I have used this stack and I know you’ll be seeing much more from it
– it has sparkle paper in white! I can see the Holiday cards already!
I
cut the orange paper to fit inside the frame and the purple paper ¼” smaller
than the card base. Then I stamped the
Happy Halloween sentiment from the Simple Sayings set and trimmed that
down. My skull looked really plain so I
jazzed it up with the Silver Siam embossing powder and I think it makes that
skull much spookier.
That’s
really about it. The card is simple but
very effective. I hope you are enjoying
the long holiday weekend we are having in the US and that you find some time to
“labor” in your craft room - and, don't forget, you have 2 entire weeks to enter the newest challenge at Craft-Room Challenges!! ~ Christi
