Papercraft Star Challenge #17


We have a Halloween photo inspriation to work from this week at Papercraft Star.  I love making shaped or dimensional cards and this week I decided to try my hand at making a frame card.  The cute little wizard image is from Imag-e-nation.  He's colored with Prismacolor pencils and OMS and he's got some purple Perfect Pearls and Glossy Accents to add some sparkle and shine to him and his jack-o-lantern.  The sign is a freebie design I found at my friend Lily's website Lily's Art Creations.  For my Chinese lanterns I simply cut out some circles with punches and then used an embossing tool to create the ridges.  I inked them and "strung" them on some twine from an office tag.  I got the bat and spider from Michaels and tried my hand at drawing the spiders web in the bottom corner.  I thought it turned out fun and cute and it was something different for me.
Okay, so here's the low down on this week's challenge.

Our sponsor this week is POOPOOPAPER!


Yep, you guessed it.  Somebody has found a use for all that lovely animal dung.  Go check out their website.  They've got some cool "green" products (no pun intended).  :)
