Hi friends! Are you looking for a card challenge to play? A new one starts today at Fusion Card Challenge! You'll love this challenge because there are three ways to play.. you can play along with the sketch, be inspired by the photo, or FUSE them together and play with BOTH!This challenge is called Purple Night. I love the dark, mysterious inspiration photo with the twisted trees and spooky misty sky. Of course it got me thinking of Halloween since it's just around the corner. If you're not loving the photo, that's ok.. I hope you'll still join us and play along with the sketch.
I always start my cards by arranging different elements (in this case a scene) on a piece of plastic the same size as my card base. It helps me figure out what to put where before I commit and adhere it in place. It also makes it super easy to pick up the entire design and see what different papers will look like for the background.
I couldn't wait to play with the new dome set from Memory Box. This card contains three stacked dies - the Haunted Entrance Dome, Haunted House Dome, and Winter Wood Dome - all cut from different shades of purple card stock and adhered together. The dies included lots of the elements like the pumpkins, ghosts and bats. I added a simple circle die cut for a moon and some bitty leaves for the pumpkins. The background is a block stripe of card stock in candy corn colors. Now it's your turn! Now it's your turn! Are you ready to play? I wonder how you will interpret the photo! Maybe you need a little more inspiration? Check out designs from the rest of the team. Just click on their names below to jump to their blogs.
I hope I see you at Fusion Card Challenge! I cant wait to see what you make!

What a fun card Jeannie, love how you drew your inspiration.
What a fun scene!! I especially like the ghosts! I do the same thing with my cards before I commit to them... I have avoided many a disaster this way. Cx
