PPA145 Sketch Challenge

It's Sketch Challenge (PPA145) time again at Pals Paper Arts and I have a great sketch to share with you today!  Sketches are always a great starting point for cardmaking and I think you'll love this sketch! 

I love Halloween and I'm excited to share my Halloween card with you today!  I replaced the rectangle on the sketch with layered die cut labels to feature the flying witch image, one of my favorite symbols of Halloween!  Two prints from the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP pack were paired to highlight the layered die cuts.  Paper piercing on the reverse side around the border of the label adds interest and a button in More Mustard helps balance the stamped image.  Everything comes together on a base of Basic Black, making all of the different elements really pop!  I really like how it turned out and I hope you do too!  Please leave me a comment if you do, as I love hearing from you!

Now it's your turn!  Play along with us at PPA and give the sketch a try!  See how my fellow PPA Design Team members worked with this sketch for even more inspiration!  I can't wait to see what you create!

Margaret I'm loving the sketch and see others used this cool witch. How fun she is... love her against a moon and she looks fab with many many mixtures of colors and patterns and she doesn't seem to matter much. I'm sure if she cared she'd be turning some into frogs! hugs
