I had originally intended to pursue my idea about a layered cake for this card, but I really ran short of time this week and opted for a design inspired by a couple of other challenges. I've had this "hound of hell" die from Whimsy Stamps ("Monster Parade Die Set #WSD488) that I've looked for an opportunity to use. I started with the current sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches #590 with three horizontal bands bleeding off on the right side of the card. After preparing a white card base by stamping a Tim Holtz cobweb on it with PTI "Soft Stone" and then stamping it a second time on a die-cut stitched rectangular panel. I then layered three scraps of printed papers over the front panel, attached it to the card base with dimensional foam, and slipped the banded papers under the top panel to continue to the right edge. The final step was my hound die cut from black card stock.
While I didn't follow the June mood board, you're welcome to come up with your interpretation, or anything Halloween. It's a fun challenge!
