Stamping 411-Challenge #124

We have another awesome sketch for you over at the Stamping 411 Blog today and it is a great one!!! Hop on over to see what the other Operators have done with this sketch but first check out what I did!! Then you will need to get busy creating and then upload your creation to the Stamping 411 Blog by Thursday morning, you never know you just might be showcased on our blog!!!

My card actually was the card I made for my son, Griffen, for his birthday last week. Remember this post?? I ended up getting all his decorations and cake in a black skull theme (he wanted scarier the better) so I decided to use this weeks sketch and of course our big skull stamp!!

I started with Basic Black Cardstock for my card, layered on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and then using our Night & Day Specialty DSP I started layering the pieces on. I even used the printed window sheet with the black polka-dots on it on top of a piece of Whisper White Cardstock. I attached the window sheet to the Whisper White Cardstock using Basic Black Brads. I also used the Star & 3/4" Circle Punches for the eyes (this stamped skull has hearts for the eyes but I thought Griffen would like stars better!!LOL!!!!), Basic Black Mini Library Clips and the stamp set called Just Jawing.

I am not one to decorate the inside of my cards but since this card was made using Basic Black Cardstock I figured I could not write on the inside so you could see it (can you believe I did not have a White uni-ball Signo Gel Pen on hand??).

I used the stars from this stamp set and an under $10 stamp set from the last catalog that is actually on the Dormant List right now. I love these inexpensive single stamps you can now buy from Stampin' Up! Makes it easy and cheaper for you when you just need that right saying without having to purchase a whole stamp set.

Can't wait to see what you all come up with using this sketch!!!

Have a great day!!
