Dreamweaver Dark and Dramatic

Hello crafters,

My favorite time of the year is nearly upon us…FALL.  This month’s challenge theme at EclecticEllapu starts the season off with Dark/Dramatic Colours and/or something Scary.   My project is a dark dramatic and somewhat scary looking card. I didn’t want to do a the usual Halloween card.  I went to Pinterest for some ideas.  I got the idea for this card from Susan H.  I followed the link to Susan’s blog which is My Mindful Creations that link should take you directly to the post for this card, it’s dated October 5, 2012.  I changed up a few things on the card but her card truly inspired me, thank you Susan!  

The supplies I used for my card:  Grey cardstock I had in my stash for a long time.  It was from The Paper Company, the colour is charcoal.  Black cardstock- Michael’s Recollection brand, Strathmore 140lb Cold Press Watercolor paper, Tim Holtz (TH) Oxide Distress Inks Black Soot and Iced Spruce, TH Distress Ink Black Soot, Hickory Smoke, and Squeezed Lemonade, Momento Tuxedo Black Ink, TH Distress Spray bottle to add a little water, my heat tool, Spellbinders Die D-Lite “Hello”, Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles, 3 black flat back pearls, and I created the sentiment on my computer using font-Chiller a size of 26.   I really like how it turned out.   Please join us at Eclectic Ellapu, I can’t wait to be inspired by what you create!!   Check out the photos below. 

 

This is really dark, I tried to enlarge the image so you can read the sentiment which says: "Bat you didn't know I was thinking about you?!"



Here is a close up of the greeting.  I added dimension by cutting the greeting x2 in black and x1 in the charcoal cardstock, then I glued them all together but I offset the charcoal just bit.

Well, I'm off on another crafting adventure, let's see where my mind takes me...til' next time,
