MOON & PURPLE & BITS & PIECES

I'm trying to fill out a need for just a couple more Halloween cards and went deep into my scraps for this one. Because of my tenure at Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge, I have a bin filled with stamped and/or die cut bits and pieces that started as ideas but then were relegated to the bin for possible future use.  

I had a square black card base with an attached slightly smaller square of stamped cobwebs on white (Impression Obsession #CC141 "Spider Web") and I started with that. The purple circle with die cut black graveyard and moon was another scrap that I had started a card from a couple of years ago and never decided what to do with it. I mounted a printed cobweb pattern from last year's Park Lane "Haunted Hollow" 12x12 card stock pad over the white stamped square and attached the die cut circle. Using a scrap of purple polka dot card stock, I white heat embossed the sentiment and cut a Stampin' Up "Chalk Talk" tag, slipped it under the circle, punched a hole through all of the layers, and tied on a couple of lengths of purple and black twine. The final layer was a white card stock ghost (Tim Holtz) left over from a couple of years ago and I slipped a scrap of black behind his mouth and eye.

 

I photographed this card on a gray-toned statuary marble slab I use for rolling out pie dough. I was surprised to see that the photos came out with the marble looking like it's a lavender tone - not complaining, just saying. I'm going to share this card over at Toc, Tac Toe Challenge #228 before it closes. I selected the top row - Free/Moon/Purple.
