SugarPea Designs Challenge - Anything Goes!

Hello Wednesday! Hope you're having a great week so far and are ready for some Anything Goes fun with the SugarPea Designs Monthly Theme Challeng. Anything Goes can either send me reeling with excitement or running with fear, ha! This time around, I was reeling with excitement for all of the open possibilities and landed on a totally clean and simple Halloween card using my favorite Stitched Autumn Icons batty-bat and eye chart stamp from Read Between the Lines.

I'm also using the current Fusion Card Challenge - All Hallow's Eve as my (photo) inspiration.

A month or so ago I Spy'ed the word 'eek' in the Read Between the Lines eye chart stamp and tucked my little discovery away, just waiting for the right moment to use it. I thought I'd better hop on my little secret soon since Halloween is just a little over a week away. Using my MISTI stamping tool, I first stamped only 'eek' in black ink and embossed it. Then, I inked up the entire stamp with Versamark ink and clear embossed it. The MISTI tool allowed me to work with my stamped image layer (apply embossing powder and heat set it) and then re-position it in the original spot for the Versamark stamped layer.

I then went in with an orange watercolor wash to reveal the clear embossed sentiment and die cut it with the tag from SugarCuts Gift Tag, BUT I used a partial die-cutting technic and only used the round bottom edge of the die to cut both top and bottom of my eye chart layer. It's a great way to stretch your dies. You can find a tutorial on partial die-cutting HERE.
