Scrapy Land Blog Challenge #3 - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!! The first day of October!! Ugh!! Where did this year go?? It's time for the 3rd Scrapy Land Blog Challenge!! The theme this week is everyone's favorite - Anything Goes, using dies that Scrapy Land carries (there are over 40 brands)!! You could win a gift certificate to shop in the store :)

Since time if flying by and Halloween will be here before we know it, I have a Halloween card to share with you today. For this shadowbox card, I used old papers from K&Company. I just love these papers and I've hoarded it for a couple of years...I am down to scraps now :) The layers and frame were cut with Spellbinders A-2 Card Creator Matting Basics A and A-2 Card Creator Matting Basics B.

The spooky scene is an Impression Obsession Halloween Hill die. It was cut twice, with the top layer attached with foam tape for dimension. The spider and web are Impression Obsession Spider Web die. The spider was cut in sparkly black paper and attached with foam tape. Terror-ific is from Craftin Desert Divas Ghostly Greetings stamp set. It was heat embossed with Stampendous Cinnamon Embossing Powder.

Now it's your turn!! Head on over to the Scrapy Land Blog to see the amazing projects my design team sisters have created for today's challenge!! Then link up your Anything Goes project using dies that Scrapy Land carries!! I can't wait to see what you create :)

Tara is giving away one stamp set each day & Too Cute by Jessica is giving away $25 gift card to her store (regular priced items).

And now for my project...

I created a Halloween Banner!! I had a very tough time getting a good picture of this. It is just a little too large to get a good shot.

The base of each panel is a Spellbinders Heirloom Legacy die. A bit of tulle was added for some texture. The patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye. The witch is a Tim Holtz Bewitching Hour die. She was cut several times to get the different colors. The sentiment is from the CDD Ghostly Greetings stamp set. I masked off the other lines so that I could break it up for each panel. Each line was heat embossed with Zing Vanilla Embossing Powder.

The black cat is a TH Scaredy Cat die and the fence is a TH On the Fence Die. The black cat was embossed with TH Black Soot Distress Embossing Powder.

The house is a TH Rickety House die. It was embossed with a TH Wood Planks die. The bat is a TH Bewitching Hour die and it was embossed with TH Black Soot Embossing Powder.

The moon and stars are a TH Crescent Moon and Stars die. The edges were inked with TH Walnut Distress Ink.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art - September Linky
