If The Broom Fits, Ride It! --PP 260

August 30, 2015


It's Sunday and time for another challenge at The Paper Players!  The amazingly, talented Nance is our hostess this week.  She has a FUN Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for us to play along with.  I love to see all the fabulous creations from a Tic-Tac-Toe board.  I am always fascinated by all the creativity that comes from the categories. 



I wanted to use my new Halloween stamp from Stampin' Up!  It is called, "If the Broom Fits!"  I laugh every time I think about it.  The stamp is featured in the new Handmade for the Holidays catalog.  It goes live on Sept. 1st.  

I  chose the diagonal row -Ribbon, Embossing and Sequins.  My base card is a Basic Black square.  (5 X 5)  The next layer is Elegant Eggplant. I found this old Halloween paper in my stash.  I loved the green and black color combo.  





I cut a black rectange and stamped the sentiment in Versa Fine ink and heat embossed with with white embossing powder.  I cut a piece of the matching paper to add able the sentiment on the black rectangle.  I added another black rectangle horizontally and used another piece of the Halloween card stock.  I used masking tape to cover two of the brooms and only stamped 3 of them on white card stock.  I used black Versa Fine ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I cut this rectangle with stitched dies.  I mounted it on Elegant Eggplant.  Before I attached it, I found this green ribbon in my stash and I adhered it behind the broom piece.  I also made a bow out of Black and White Baker's Twine and adhered it with a glue dot.  Two green sequins from Pretty Pink Posh-Peridot Mist were added.

  8. Claire, this makes me laugh! The repeated broomsticks add a great vertical element that counter-balance the stripes behind. The touch of eggplant was genius!
