Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge 69

Hi all!

I created a little card to play along with the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge this week.  Here is my card: 

Happy Halloween Hat

And here is  the inspiration sketch:


I created the hat from black cardstock and embossed with a swirly embossing folder.  The brim was cut from a strip of black cardstock that I cut with a pinking border die. Cream lace was added above the brim.  I stamped the focal image from Gracie at Halloween in black in and colored in with some Copics. I am a bit of a neophyte when it comes to the Copics, so please forgive my coloring.  I punched the image with a 1 3/4" circle punch and backed it with an olive pinking circle and adhere it to the lace.  This finished hat was adhered to a simple base of kraft, black and orange paper with pop dots. 

Hope you like my take on this week's sketch.  Thanks for stopping by!
