CFC24: Create a Clean And Simple Halloween project with NO orange. Not even a tiny spot!



 

This card is quite clean and simple but I use the word 'simple' very loosely!Somewhere in my travels I saw a picture of this tree.  Of course, I didn't have a stamp that even closely resembled the tree.....so I photocopied the picture (probably illegal), cut out the tree (believe me it took 4000 hours to cut those branches), traced it onto black cardstock and cut it out AGAIN! 

I also hand cut the grass because once again, I didn't have a grass die cut or  punch.  The moon was punched from Crushed Curry and edged with Riding Hood Red (not orange). I stamped the bat and the sentiment with Stazon ink, ran some Basic Grey paper through an embossing folder and added  a couple of brads.
