Another Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

This is the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #7:

This was a very fun challenge. I used a pumpkin orange background on craft card stock. Then I used a spiderweb pattern.  I used a gray paper for the scalloped trim around the middle.  For the middle I had this Halloween paper with a raven in a cage that I cut out.  I added a bow made of twine on the bird cage.  Then I stamped Oct 31st stamp on orange paper and punched it out with a flower punch and raised it with dimensionals.  I then added 3 pearl accents around the Oct 31st.  Then I used my white pen and drew stitching around the border of the card.

Freshly Made Sketches 6

This is my first card challenge I have ever done.  I had my friend Arli over and we both did this challenge.  It was fun to have someone to craft with!

This challenge is from Freshly Made Sketches.  See Sketch below my card:

Here is my design:

I made this card with black card stock.  Then used fall halloween paper pack.  I antiqued the edges around the ghost stamp.  The lady ghost stamp I carved from Crafty Jennys free images.  I antiqued the leaf punch and put it on a dimensional.  Added scalloped border and diamond print with some twine.  Also added Happy Halloween and antiqued it then put it on a dimensional.

Post Card Swap

This was a fun swap. On this swap we are suppose to look at our partners profile and make a postcard with sayings or things they like. I saw my partner liked birds, tea, and altered art. So This is what I came up with. I made the edges look antiqued with brown oil pastels. Hope she likes it.
