Make My Monday/ PaperPlay

A new challenge at Make My Monday

This week the challenge is to create an autumnal card using the colours

ORANGE AND BLACK

There is also an optional extra to make your creation with a HALLOWEEN theme.


and at PaperPlay.....
Our challenge this week gives a nod in the direction of the upcoming festivities - "Use Black in your card/project". Now you don't have to do something Hallowe'eny for this, some of our DT have, some haven't - just let's see the colour black somewhere on your project.

 For my card I stamped a tree from Creative Expressions - Church and embossed in gold onto the black base card.  I masked a moon and stippled orange and green shades from Big and Juicy Spice, then stamped tree and horse and carriage from Chocolate Baroque Howling Moon set.  Mounted onto orange Core'dinations.
