Inkspirational Challenge # 296 - Designer's Choice - Iridescent/Clear - Spider Web and Witch's Cauldron Happy Halloween

Hello, 

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #296, where our wonderful Marlena, for her Designer's Choice challenge, invites us to use something "IRIDESCENT/CLEAR" on our projects. Holographic paper, images of glass or ice items, foil, embellishments with a sheen, etc. - anything (regardless of size) that varies in colour when light catches is perfect.  


Here we are, nearly mid-August, and my thoughts are turning to Halloween! Seriously...I'm 'this close' to tuning in to full-on spooky mode. For this challenge, I'm bringing back a favourite stencil and die set: Halloween Create-in-Quads from Taylored Expressions. This time, rather than stencil the background, I used one of the Spider Web Foil It panels and ran it through my laminator with iridescent Deco Foil. Super easy and the panels turn out wonderfully every time. I also didn't stencil the cauldron bubbles; Studio Katia iridescent embellishments did the trick. 


Here's a close up of both the foil and the droplets. 


Check out the fabulous cards by my awesome team, then join us in the gallery with your take on IRIDESCENT/CLEAR.

Thank you for dropping by!

It’s fun that you went with the Halloween theme for this challenge. The background has a wow factor and great use of iridescent pearls too to make the bubbles.

So so beautiful with the foiling... I have resisted the urge to buy the foiling machine but when I see something amazing like this the resisting is even harder! :) Love your fun design and cute spooky feel!
