Piece of Poison & Sophisticated Spooks for Paper Players 114

Hi Everyone.  Happy Saturday.

Ann has a fabulous sketch for us for the Paper Players Challenge #114.  I had such fun playing with this challenge that I actually made 2 cards!

I really wanted to make a Halloween card and decided that I should use MDS and create multiple elements, cut them out, and create a hybrid card.  I love the fact that MDS is so flexible, but don't really like creating an MDS only card as it is too flat for me.  Great for sending through the mail... but, I like the to glue and ink things :-)

I used Piece of Poison for the Sentiment and the large spider.  I used Sophisticated Spooks for the background and vertical elements. 

Here's what I came up with

I really love this Sophisticated Spooks kit and it was so easy to size the background layer and then size the vertical layers.  Printing them out and cutting them was really easy, too!  I glued the vertical layers to the background and the Sahara Sand matt to the black matt.  The focal element was attached via dimensionals.   I ran the focal layer over the edge of my Sahara Sand ink pad to add some distressing and to stop that layer being too white.

I do hope that you will join the Paper Players this week.  You can check out the great inspiration cards from the design team

On a personal note:

Pam and John have arrived and it has been so wonderful to spend some time relaxing and just having fun!  Lou and I finished work yesterday and we now have the next two weeks to spend time with them, showing them the wonderful sites around us and just chilling.  Chilling in the way that you can only do after decades of friendship!   Priceless!

As always, thank you for visiting my little area of the stamping blogosphere.   I really do appreciate your visits and your comments.   Warm hugs and prayers to those of you who need a little lift tonight.

Have a wonderful Sunday

Hugs
