Halloween Fun
Time for another challenge over at The Play Date Cafe, and our inspirational picture......
...... a great choice from Sarah Anderson, I love rusty orange and chocolate brown together but it was a slight challenge trying to incorporate the turquoise and more so the hot pink.
I had set my mind on using my new stamps and I think that's where my problem began, as it is very difficult to incorporate turquoise and hot pink into Halloween LOL, but I managed albeit very subtle.
I coloured a piece of glossy card with DI Rusty Hinge and Wild Honey and stamped the pumpkin's in StazOn Timber Brown, I just love these pumpkin's they are such fun images and the detail is fantastic. The foliage has been stamped with Timber Brown ink and I have added flowers in the turquoise and hot pink, yippeeeee, I managed it LOL. ALL HALLOWS EVE was stamped with Timber Brown ink onto rusty orange Bazzil card. The image has been layered onto choclolate brown and rusty orange card.
Whilst I had my new stamps to hand I thought I would have another go at creating a SPOOL. I love making these, they are so easy and great fun. I coloured a piece of glossy card in the same way and stamped the pumpkin's in Timber Brown ink and then simply glued the card to the SPOOL.
I have added a Halloween sentiment to the bottom of the SPOOL and I have embossed the top with a Sizzix Bat Embossing Folder and rubbed over with Timber Brown ink.
I have also added an owl to the spool which has been coloured with Distress Inks. Co-ordinated buttons and fibres have been added to complete. The Impression Obsession stamp, All Hallows Eve, and the Sizzix Embossing Folder are all available from THE STAMP ATTIC. Have a great weekend everyone, Tracy x x

Fantastic pumpkins! Great colour challenge. :) Just LOVE your spool. I sooooo need one!! Have a great weekend.xx
It's a great response to the challenge - I don't expect you use hot pink and or turquoise together very often!
Your card is great. I think the colors go well in it because you kept them a bit pale. It really turned out beautifully.
Wonderful card and your spool is terrific. I love those pumpkins!
Wonderful! Love the card, and the spool is just great. REally hope I get to play with my kit this weekend!
