This is a great stamp by Stampin’ Up out of the set House of Haunts.  Of course, this is a Halloween set, but I think you could give this card anytime of year using these bright colors.  This card also comes together pretty quick.  Quick card for me anyway. 🙂

I started off with a 4.5″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White card stock and masked the bottom 1.5″ with a torn post it note.

Sponged the new Stampin’ Up In Color “Crushed Curry” ink in a circular motion in the unmasked area leaving a white spot in the middle.

Sponged More Mustard ink on leaving some of the Crushed Curry ink showing.

Sponged Pumpkin Pie ink on leaving some of the More Mustard ink showing.

Sponged another new Stampin’ Up In Color on “Dusty Durango” ink leaving some of the Pumpkin Pie ink showing.

Sponged Chocolate Chip ink around the unmasked areas edges to get a bit darker.

Unmasked the bottom of the card stock and Sponged Brilliant Blue ink over the white card stock at the bottom.

Reusing the torn post it note masked, moved it around at the bottom of the card stock and sponged Chocolate Chip ink at the post it notes edge to create hills.  Sponged, move post it note, sponged, move post it note, etc. until I got the hills the way I wanted them.

Stamped the owl in the tree stamp with Basic Black ink.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the outside edge of the card stock.

Layered the main image panel with a White panel, Brilliant Blue Panel, Basic Black panel and added Brads to the main image panel corners using a piercing tool to start the brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5.5″ square.

Before I close today.  Here is a funny for you.

May your day be filled with bright colors that make you feel good.

Until my next post. . . . .  . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
