Boo!

Today is Tuesday, and that means it's time for another CBC challenge! This week's challenge was to use the Rolling Marble Background technique. I had never tried this technique before. In fact, I didn't even own a marble. I picked up a jar of them at an antique store last week while shopping with a friend, so I was set. Oh, and then I got home and realized we have a Chinese Checkers game. Doh! Marbles! Oh well. Now I have lots. :)

I used Going Grey ink on Going Grey paper for a monotone look. I don't know why, but I thought it would make a nice weathered tombstone. Isn't that a dreary card though? lol! It's a dark damp night at the ol' graveyard, I tell ya!

Every shape on this card was cut by hand, with the exception of the spider eyes, which were circles from my 1/8" and 1/16" circle punch. Have you ever tried gluing down a 1/16" circle onto a 1/8" circle? Yeah. I wouldn't recommend it. But, it's done, and it's creepy and perfect for Halloween, no?

The layout was heavily cased from a giftbag that I saw in my October issue of Paper Crafts magazine. Except she used a Quickcutz die for everything. Slacker! ;)

Be sure to check out the creations from all of the other CBC Chicks via the links to their blogs near the top of my sidebar to the right of this post. And be sure to play along! Link your creation on Courtney's blog for a chance to win a prize!
