WHEN THE WORKING DAY IS DONE...

...ghouls just want to have fun! Wow, this card was SO fun to make - I just got caught up in the exuberance of a zombie party! I was looking for an idea in which I could combine an old sentiment stamp that I had never used, new zombie stamps, and the colors orange and purple. The colors are the challenge at Color Hues #50 - "Orange & Purple".


This card was started with a white cardstock panel that I stamped the sentiment onto in orange and russet, after which I stenciled the background with the same colors muddied up and blended. Then I over-stamped the zombies (Whimsy Stamps #CWSD388 "Zombie Party") in purple and added stars and confetti in purple and red-orange. Some yellow-orange splatters also went over that and then I punched a hole in one of the stars and poked purple and orange twine into the hole.


 
Before mounting the card face and mat to a side-folded white card, I blended some more orange on the bottom corner and side and added more purple confetti. I wanted the twine to look like it was bursting out of the hole in the star, so I wound the individual strands around a paint brush.
