SSINKIC26: Spooky Spooky

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features a fun photo inspiration challenge! This photo screams Halloween to me, so I had to make a card that matched!

 

I took my cues from the color scheme of the apples: purple, green, and brown. From there, I decided to make a jack-o-lantern card, but one that incorporated a lot of color. I pulled out my Happy Patterns mask and had some fun with color! From there, I added a simple pumpkin globe. The card still felt too plain. So I finished it off with a sparkly sentiment. Perfect!

Fun with Decorative Masks

Good morning everyone and welcome to The Craft Sea! I'm so excited you are here to check out my crafting journey. I'm flattered to have been asked to join the Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration Design Team! I love the variety of challenges and posts that the team posts each month. I'm looking forward to sharing my own creations and connecting with fellow bloggers. Make sure to check out the main site for other great products and play along with us!

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and highlights SU's new set of decorative masks. Instead of 2 8 1/2" by 8 1/2" masks per package, the new Happy Pattern set features 4 6" by 6" masks. I decided to make two cards using two different masks.

The first card was inspired by the great rainbow cards I've seen on Pinterest. I wanted to use the mask to make my own rainbow. And I love the results! A simple large sentiment helps fill the space but doesn't overshadow the mask. Finishing the card with some sequins was the perfect touch!

The second card used one of the other masks for a simple one layer card. I wanted to featured my favorite 2014-2016 In Colors: Lost Lagoon and Blackberry Bliss. I threw in some Tip Top Taupe and Sahara Sand to balance out the color. Simple but cute.
