Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #382 ~ A Color Challenge

Hello friends~  The week's slip by so quickly, I can hardly believe we're ready for another challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations.
Are you ready for the spooky cute COLOR inspiration?  Use the colors chartreuse, white and grape or colors like them on your project this week.

This week's sponsor is 7 Kids College Fund
and they're generously giving away a $20 store Gift Certificate so you'll definitely want to play along!!

Before we get to my card, I have a disclaimer to make.  For some reason this card photographed extremely hard and the colors didn't come out how it really looks at all.  So I apologize for the harsh look of the photo.  It really much cuter in real life.
 I started by embossing a white card stock panel with a brick embossing folder and randomly rubbing some limeade ice ink over the bricks.  I made the door and steps myself out of some purple card stock and rubbed a bit of white ink around the panels of the door so they'd stand out.  I cut the web and spider out of white card stock using Frantic Stampers "Spider Web Corner" and colored the spider black with a marker.  The ghost is also from Frantic Stampers "Cute Halloween Icons".  I backed up his eyes with more limeade ice card stock. The urn and greens are from Taylored Expressions "Door To Door Decor" set.  I stamped the sentiment from MFT's "Primitive Pumpkin" onto the bottom step. 

Be sure to visit all the fabulous designers to see how they've used these fun colors together!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I appreciate all your comments.  Blessings~ Birgit

Birgit, your not so scary card is perfectly adorable!!! Love how you added inking for effect, and I'm in love with that embossing folder. Who makes it? It's so cool how it's left plain along the edges. Great combining of dies for your sweet scene!
