Train Challenge

This month we have Train challenge as our special event.  With a train challenge the original card was given to someone.  Then that person C.A.S.E.’s the card and sends it to the next person.  This continues until the last person gets the card.  It will be interesting to see how the cards changed from the original card.

The original card looked like this.   

This card was sent down the line to 5 other people before I got it.  The card that was sent to me was created by Tantalaya and is below. 

So when I got the picture, I saw the trees from Lovely As a Tree.  I decided to pull it out and use it to create a Halloween card.  I began by stamping the Lovely As a Tree stamp on Whisper White using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I punched a 1” circle out of a post-it note and added it in the sky.  I then did some sponging using Daffodil Delight, Elegant Eggplant, So Saffron, and Memento Tuxedo Black inks.  I cut a 2 ½” x 5 ¼” piece of Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I mounted this onto a Pumpkin Pie card base that measured 5 ½” x 8 ½” that was scored in the middle at 4 ¼”.  I then added the tree panel on top making sure to line up the edges and to leave a small border at the top.  I cut the witch out of Basic Black card stock using the Halloween Scene Edglits dies.  I attached her using glue dots.  I cut a ¼” strip of Pumpkin Pie card stock and added it across the bottom polka dot panel.  Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink I stamped the sentiment from Spooky Fun and used the Modern Label punch to punch it out.  My sentiment was added using Stampin’ Up Dimensionals.  Here is my C.A.S.E. of Tanatalaya’s card.
