A Twilight Halloween

Hi Everybody Micki here.

Before I talk about my card I just wanted to say that last week's Customer Gallery submissions were absolutely outta this world. I always enjoy the variety of cards and more than once I have thought "Now why didn't I think of that". Wonderful array of cards everyone!

For my card today, I pulled out some forgotten metalic paper and colored up Elaine Coxs' Twilight Halloween. Only too appropriate, as I was watching Twilight while coloring up this beauty.

I can't tell you how much fun it is to experiment with this image. I've used some of the darker Copic colors such as BV08 and B79 in the background. For the hair I used R14 and R08 and then came back with N6 to add shadows.

I used my Viva Decor Pearl Pen for the stars, flocked brads and metalic craft trim for embellishments.

For my sentiment I used the Halloween sentiment from Holiday Vertical - Plate 13. This set is a must have! Seriously, I love that the sentiments are vertical because I always seem to think about a sentiment last. Which means I assemble my card and then realize I ran out of room :-). And I love to cut the sentiment apart like I did in this card.

What do you think? I hope you like it and if you get a chance, head over to the Sweet Pea Stamps shop to check out the specials and while you are there, pick up this beauty then grab your coloring medium of choice and experiment! It's addicting......
