MFT COLOR CHALLENGE #152

 Hi there! I'm back with another fun MFT Color Challenge #152.

My card inspired by the challenge:


To begin making the card, I Copic colored the stamped images from the Halloween Hoo Stamp set and die-cut them with the coordinating Die-namics.

The background panel was stamped with the Ghoulish Greeting Background Stamp on Gravel Gray  Prestige Card stock and trimmed.

The circle panel was die-cut using a die from the A2 Circle STAX Die-namics using Gravel Gray Card Stock. After, I ink blended it with a Mini Cloud Stencil with Black Soot Distress Oxide. 

To assemble the card, I adhered the circle panel to an A2 size trimmed Orange Zest Prestige, Card Stock. Then, I adhered the circle panel on top of the background panel. Then, I foam mounted the colored images to the card front as shown.

To finish, I added black and white dots inside the circle panel.





That's it for today. For more inspiration head on over to the MFT Blog. You can link your project there for a chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the MFT Shop.

Stay safe and be well!
Happy stamping!
