I have a confession. I dislike ovals as much as my teamie, Jen, dislikes circles, so I cheated and used an arch instead of an oval.
We don't even celebrate Halloween here but I couldn't resist this adorable MFT stamp set and took it for its inaugural inking to make this card. I colored the images with Copics and cut them with my Scan n Cut. I added some dot detail to one of the sweets then set them aside while I worked on the rest of my card.
I masked off an area on my card base and sponged some Distress Oxide inks into the open area. Once that was dry, I white-embossed the sentiment. Onto a smaller die-cut panel, I cut out an arch opening and added a stitched arch frame around the opening. I popped that panel up on foam tape and finally added my colored images.
Finally, I added clear sparkle pen to the pumpkins, hat and the sweets.
Thanks for popping by! I hope you'll check out the rest of the DT cards as they're gorgeous as always.
