I went with the colors in the photo. We don't celebrate Halloween much here in New Zealand so I don't have need for Halloween cards. But I did love the orange, black and white colors as well as the circular element, so that's what I focused on in my card.
I watercolored a piece of watercolor cardstock using Spiced Marmalade ink and splatted on some ink on top as well. That was layered onto some orange cardstock and then onto a black card base. The sentiment is stacked four high and I finished with some black enamel dots.
Thanks for visiting. Be sure to check out the amazing cards from the rest of the design team!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Karren, I really like that water coloured background and it is the perfect setting for the strong sentient die and the whole design really works with the panels x
ReplyDeleteLove the splatters
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to take out my watercolors and get inky! I love this design!
ReplyDeleteVery clever idea on the colours. I too don't celebrate Halloween and have been quite stuck, so picking out the colours and using them in such a dramatic and fabulous way is pure genius! x The black pops against the watercolour background x
ReplyDeleteKarren, I just love your style. You make the water colored background work so well, I would just make mush. Love, Love, Love all your details!!
