Cleaning Up from Halloween

Hello, hope you've had a happy Sunday. I was picking up all my Halloween card making bits and bobs today, and found 3 box lids with card parts that I had not gotten to and one of them was an almost finished card. So, I stored away the other 2 in baggies for next year and completed one to share with you.

SUPPLIES:
Papers:  SU and Neenah index card stocks, DCWV patterned paper
Stamps: Bugaboo Chubby Ghost digi, Crafty Secrets, Pink By Design, EK Success
Inks: ProMarkers, Versafine Clair, Versamark
Dies/Punches:  Fiskars 4-in-1 punch, Spellbinders Classics Circle Nesties, MFT Pinking Edge Rectangles
Stash/Other:  embossing powder, ribbons, Cuttlebug Mini-Monsters Candy embossing folder

  

 I used Mojo Monday's current A2 sized sketch as is, printing out for measurement proportions. My focal circle element had to be larger because of my image, which I believe was originally printed that large to accommodate another sketch I was going to use but didn't. One material way I deviated from the Mojo sketch was that it did not call for the horizontal ribbons that were used for that same discarded sketch. So, call me crazy but I think the ribbons (mini ric rac on orange twill with yellow edging) add to the design quite nicely, as does the addition of the sentiment. Especially since the white dry-embossed rectangle beneath the flags (embossed with a Cuttlebug Mini-Monsters Candy folder) gets completely covered up!

 My candy corn patterned paper was the inspiration for my colors, of course. Doncha love it? It's my Honey's favorite Halloween candy. Too sugary for me and let's face it: no chocolate! haha The paper layer and the orange mat underneath were punched with a corner punch I thought looked good with the pinking edge die-cut rectangles I used.

I have done anything yet with the inside so no photos, but here is the back of the card, using leftovers from the front as is my general habit. The corner punch and pinking edge rectangle dies were again employed, and the siggie is an EK Success stamp.

So, I now have my first card in my 2020 Halloween inventory. And one less box lid in the UFAP UnFinished Art Projects) stack.
