Color Hues #143 - ORANGE & BLACK

Hello friends.  It's the middle of October and that means it's time for a new challenge here at Color Hues.  Our hostess for this round is the sweet Tracey and she would like to see ORANGE & BLACK on our cards.  Sounds like Halloween to me and that's the direction I went!!


While Halloween is the way I went, you can go any direction you want with this color pairing...as long as you remember to stick with these two colors (neutrals are acceptable).  Here's what I came up with...


I started by blending my background with DOX inks...Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade & Carved Pumpkin.  I did add a small die cut circle with temporary adhesive on the back to my panel before I started ink blending to look like the full moon was out.  Next, I stamped in black using two Lavinia sets called Small Trees & Forest Scene on the left and right sides and then stamped the trick or treaters from SU!'s Scary Cute also in black to create my silhouetted scene.


 To finish I added my sentiment (also from SU!'s Scary Cute set) and a few flying bats and then sprayed the whole panel with Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spray before adding it to a white card base.   

The DT and our Special GD Annette have all outdone themselves with cards to inspire you to play along and you can check it all out right HERE. This challenge is open till Thursday, Oct. 29th @ 9:00AM. Join in the FUN...we can't wait to see what YOU create using these two colors!! 

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
