Lauren's Saturday Sketch Challenge



I LOVED this sketch! I am also feeling so ready for the fall, Halloween, yummy apples, and falling leaves. I had to use the Spooky Sweets stamp set by PTI. Of course, I thought I'd use the new set but I also bought the old set at the same time and I ended up using the first set. I love them both and can't wait to play with the second set.

My card today has lots of glitter, slime, and Halloweeny things....what a great mix :). I pulled at the edges of the ribbon to give it a spookier less put together look. I used the Essential Glue pad for the first time and it is definitely essential! I got the Essential Glue pad from Papertrey Ink. It's $10 and you get a blank pad which you apply the glue to. Once it's applied, there are a certain number of uses for which it will be good for. I used it for the spider and the bat and it turned out great. I used Martha Stewart glitter glue for the name plate because I wasn't sure about the smooth surface. I popped up the green stem to make it stand out. I think it turned out well.

Some close ups of the glitter:



Supplies:
PTI white and Summer Sunset cardstock
PTI Spooky Sweets stamp set
PTI Summer Sunset ribbon
Heidi Swapp black brads and name plate
Martha Stewart slime punch
Martha Stewart glitter
Essential Glue (which really is essential; I love this and it turns out perfect every time)

Love the glitter! And the whole card makes me excited for fall coming! Great use of the Martha punch as a background behind the pumpkin.
Essential glue? NOt heard of that. Is it Martha? I have been having trouble with getting my glue to hold my glitter with out worping.
