Today I have used the Bunch Of Roses digital stamp and Delicate Lace digital paper from Twinkle Lane Designs, one of our generous sponsors this week, to make two cards.  Yes, our challenge is Halloween Colours but as you can see, although I have used the traditional orange, green, purple and black, my cards are far from being a Halloween theme.

I opened the digital image and paper in Silhouette Studio and sized the image panel to suit a 5" x 7" card.  To make the lace of the digital patterned paper more delicate, I duplicated the paper so that they made 4 7/8" x 6 7/8" panel when two were joined together.  This digital stamp comes with three lovely sentiments, so I sized each one to fit on my card too.  I printed the image and sentiments on X-Press It blending card, I printed the patterned paper panels on textured white cardstock.  I trimmed the panels down to size then coloured the images with Copic markers.
I decided to try two different orange blends.

This one uses the following Copic markers - Y35 + Y38 + YR04 + YR09
and has become my Candy Corn Halloween Rose.

I matted each panel with black cardstock, getting the perfect 1/16" border on each one by using my Perfect Layers Ruler.  I cut a 1/2" black strip to cover the (digital) join in the patterned paper.  I secured all the layers in place using liquid adhesive.  I originally planned the cards to be 5" x 7" but I decided to finish them off with a wider 3/16" white border cut using my Perfect Layers Ruler.
My cards ended up being 5 3/8" x 7 3/8".

The other orange blend is much softer, using YR61 + YR65 + YR68

NOW it's YOUR turn!
