Today I really changed things up with Make It Mine Monday! Both cards are made using the fun and versatile Sparkle of the Season Bundle but after that…..well, you decide! Ha!
There were two things on the original card that caught my eye and made me want to make it mine. The first was my favorite checked ribbon and the second was the little bats on the card. I love stamped, punched or die-cut bats but I’m pretty sure I’d be totally freaked out if I encountered a real bat. After including the those two items on my card all bets were off and the card was my own. I guess I did use the same pattern of the Cute Halloween designer paper.
The bundle used to create both the original card and my card is the Sparkle of the Season Bundle (page 58 in Stampin’ Up!’s Mini Catalog). In the Seasonal Swirls dies that coordinate with the Sparkle of the Season stamp set there are three different swirled wreath dies. One has Christmas greenery, one has leaves and the last one has stars. On the card that inspired me the creator used the wreath with leaves and added pumpkins. For a Halloween card I wanted to use the wreath with the stars and I wanted my stars to be yellow which is why my Halloween card is black and yellow instead of black and orange. Now that I’m writing this I guess I could have used the traditional Halloween colors but…I didn’t.
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
