It's been a while since I have had the time to participate in a Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge but all my new Holiday Catalog stamps and papers have been calling my name begging me to come play with them. Because I want the entire catalog (yes, it is that good!) I had to break up my orders into seasons since I can't have it all at once. (insert sad face here) So, first up is my favorite new Halloween set, Hall-o-Ween Treats. Love this super cute owl and the very Harry Potter Sorting Hat-esc witches hat. Here is my take on this weeks sketch:
And here is the sketch that inspired my card:
As you can see I decided against the banner across the middle as I really didn't think my card needed anything else to clutter up the front and take away from the focal point. That awesome Halloween glitter inside the shaker was the inspiration for my color choices (more on that in a minute) and I love the way my colored stars in both the hat and the background paper tie it all together. (Very clever of me if I do say so myself)
You may also notice that my owl has some spooky green googlie eyes. These were an awesome find at my local craft store and I think they give him so much more personality. They come 10 to a pack and also come in blue and orange. I can't wait to see what my blue eyed owl will look like!
I knew the minute I saw that sparkly chunky glitter that I had to create a shaker card. The glitter was from the Halloween section of the same store and came in three different color combinations. ( I have a feeling I will be going back for the other two)
I can't wait to share the Holiday Catalog with you! If you would like a copy, please let me know and I will get one out to you.
Thanks for stoppin' by!
