Scrapy Land Challenge #78 - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and as always, the theme is Anything Goes Plus a Brand of Die Scrapy Land Carries...there are over 55 to choose from!! If you play along, you could be one of two winners of a $10 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land!!

Last month, several members of the Design Team participated in a Halloween/Autumn card exchange. This is the card I sent to my dear friend and teammie, Lori :) I started with Spellbinders Grand Labels One for the base and bottom layer of the card.

The next layer is a little hard to see, but it's a Yvonne Creations Holly Jolly Frame. A Memory Box Stitched Square die was used to cut the spider web paper.

I love this witch and cauldron stamp set from Lavinia Stamps!! I embossed them in black embossing powder and then added green prills for the bubbles. The Spider is from the Impression Obsession Spider Web set, and he was also embossed in black. His glowing red eyes are Nuvo Drops. The tab at the side is a Spellbinders Address Book Die, with a My Creative Time sentiment.

The tree is an Impression Obsession Wide Tree die. Perched among the branches is an owl from the Die-Versions Spooky House die, covered with copper embossing powder.

The fence is an Memory Box Rounded Fence die. The kitty cat climbing along the sign, as well as the bats that are flying around, are from the Impression Obsession Halloween Hill die.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Tucked under are Sue Wilson Mosaic Leaves and Paper Smooches Foliage 2 dies. The ribbon is from DL.ART.
