Sparkle with color and a sketch

Been fighting a cold this week, so I only had time to do one card. I am glad the challenges I participate in let me use their challenges to combine them into one card.

Here are the three challenges:

1) La La Land’s Weekly Wednesday Challenge - Sparkle (anything from glitter to bling)

2) Copic Colour Challenge - Here are the colors to use:



3)Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Here is the sketch to use by DT member Nat:



I was so excited to use my Penny Black Catman stamp for the challenges! After seeing the sketch for the PB Saturday Challenge, I was thinking "Oh no, what am I going to do?" The stamp can fit in a circle shape, but the sketch had a rectangle shape to use for the stamp. Think I made it work.

Here is my entry:




The front of the card was done using the following materials:

Black cardstock (my stash)
Orange bling cardstock (Bazzil)
Background paper (Basic Grey's Eerie collection)
Stamped image (Penny Black's Catman using the following Copics: YR04, G94, V17 airbrushed, 100, C3, R20 with At You Spica orange and pitch black pens) Used the Nestabilities large circle and large circle scallop. Circle scallop was decorated with Tim Holtz's Distress Stickles and Sakura's glitter pen)
Purple flower gemstone (Basic Grey Bling It!)
Stamped sentiment (Savvy Stamps)

Inside of the card was done using the following materials:

Orange bling cardstock (Bazzil)
Purple and orange glitter swirls (Best Creation Inc.)
Spiders and spider webs (Stampendous!)
Gemstones (Hero Arts)
"Boo!" sentiment (American Crafts thickers) with Basic Grey's Eerie collection

This has to be my longest post. I had so much fun making this card for Halloween.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,
