Halloween COLOR challenge at The Cuttlebug Spot

This week at The Cuttlebug Spot we have a COLOR challenge of purple, green, and black for our Halloween cards. I was looking through my folders and saw my skeleton scroll which I thought was a MUST HAVE last year and then proceeded to never use it. I had planned to use patterned paper for this challenge since I have several sheets which fit the criteria, but then came across my foil cardstock in BOTH purple and green so there you go. After embossing I carefully colored all of the embossed area with my black sharpie (no mean feat with a monovision contac LOL).

I used my new Stampin'Up skull stamp with StazOn on the green and cut it out with my octagon Nesties and added black rhinestone eyes. The scalloped octagon behind is done glittered cardstock. His crown is a Sizzix die, also in glitter cardstock so I used Terrifically tacky tape around the edges of the card and sprinkled on Doodlebug glitter so it would match. (Didn't want to waste that much of my precious glitter card stock. :-D)
The crown is embellished with a spooky brad and more gems and all of the layers are popped for dimension. I just LOVE black tulle, (soooo funereal!) and the tombstone was the perfect final touch. I hope you like my shrine to the skeleton king and it's not too scary for you. I had a ball making it. So now pop over to The Cuttlebug Spot to see the fabulous creations my DT sisters came up with (and ignore those who are color blind even though they are very cute. Just kidding!) But be sure YOU play along with only purple, black, and green! We've got a $20 gift certificate to Custom Crops up for grabs!
