BIC23: Spookin' Up Some Fun

It's Beate Day! He he... I think that is what I am going to call Inspiration Tuesdays from now on. This week's challenge is a fun livingroom scene with some bright splashes of Kiwi Kiss. I think Kiwi is my new favorite green so this challenge was perfect for me!

I paired the Kiwi with Black, White, Gray and Chocolate Chip... lots and lots of neutrals. And then I made a Halloween card... which I was not intending to do at all. I originally pulled out a butterfly set but well that didn't pane out. :)

Quick notes: I used a couple of the new sets that Stampin' Up! will be releasing at the beginning of October: Season of Friendship (the tree) and Frightful Nights (the Halloween schtuff).

Hmmm... wonder what the rest of the team used on their cards? You too? Well here are some links to their blogs: Jennifer, Susan, Silke, Dawn and Charmaine. Make sure to visit Beate's blog and if you make a card link it there!

Back to the card - Instead of knotting the ribbon I just tied the ends together. I really L-U-V this felt ribbon! It has such amazing texture and the stitching on the edges is sweet! I'm going to have to buy another roll... I just know it. :)
