Halloween Fun Filled Friday Challenge!

Happy Halloween!

With today being Halloween, it seemed the right thing to do was to have a Halloween themed Fun Filled Friday.

So, with that being said, Here's Pumpkin Patch Riley!

I just received my Hanna order just the other day & I've been playing with my Riley's ever since. You can expect to see more of him, that's for sure!

I colored this Riley with Prismacolor Pencils and blended the colors with Gamsol. I used my Nesties to cut him out & layer him in orange, green, and black cardstock.

For some extra dimension, I added black grosgrain ribbon tied in a knot on both sides of him.

I created the card front by running some orange cardstock through my Cuttlebug with the Pumpkin Harvest embossing Folder. I matted this with Olive green cardstock, and put a black brad in each of the 4 corners. I noticed that everytime I placed the matted Riley image over the orange embossed paper to see my card progress, some of the black would rub off onto the embossed parts, creating a distressed look. I really liked how it accented the pumpkins, so I rubbed black cardstock over it more to really make them stand out.

I finished my card by layering the card front on a black cardstock base which measures for a 4 5/8" x 6" card. I added the matted Riley image to the center & my Halloween card was complete!
