NOW FOR OUR WEEK #21
SKETCH CHALLENGE


With Halloween coming up in October, I decided it would be fun to use one of my Penny Black images and create a Halloween Card!!!


I used Penny Black's Witchy Mouse and SU Haiku Paper. The web was created with some Halloween Trim I had left over from last year that I cut apart. I decided for this week to use a more CAS look. It still includes sewing although it is hard to see in the photo. The black panels are dry embossed with the Cuttlebug Swirls Folder.

For more inspiration, please visit my dt sisters. They have done an outstanding job with this week's sketch and there is a tremendous amount of variety too!!!
