Here is my card, inspired by orange (and Halloween!)!

LSFIThop October

To create my shaker card I blended Wild Honey, Dried Marigold, and Ripe Persimmon distress inks onto a piece of watercolor paper.  I flicked on a little water and let it set for about 10 seconds before blotting it off.  Next I die-cut a large circle from white cardstock and blended on Antique Linen and Old Paper distress inks to create my large harvest moon!  I adhered the moon to the background and stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Spooktacular with versafine and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Then I stamped the cat from Spooktacular with versafine, embossed it with clear powder, and colored him with copics.  I used my Scan N Cut to cut him out.  Then I used the Grassy Borders die to cut grass from black cardstock.  I adhered the cat and grass to my background and then set it aside while I worked on the shaker portion of my card.

I die-cut a stitched frame from black cardstock and adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the frame.  I used foam mounting tape to build up a border on the back of the frame and then filled the shaker with seed beads and sequins!  I adhered the background panel to the foam mounting tape and then adhered the shaker to a black card base!

I hope my card inspires you to use orange in your creations!  Get hopping and don’t forget to leave a comment on every hop stop for a chance to win $25 to The Ink Road!  Also, make sure you leave your email address so that we can contact you if you win!

    Awesome inking! This is a darling shaker. I love how you have set it up so it looks like the cute kitty is playing in the sequins. Very cute.
