It's an Orange kind of day

Happy Halloween ya'll!

I have two projects today, and although they both use Halloween colors, they are not Halloween projects. Thought I would change things up some. The first project uses an image from Sassy Studio Designs and a template from there.

The first one is a fun pillow box with a wonderful cupcake image (both from SSD). I used a few challenge to help me put everything together.


Challenges used:
Mojo Monday - sketch
Copic Color Challenge - R20, YG06 (I used YG03 as it was the closest color I had), and E33
Funky Fairy Challenge - touchy feely (lots of glitter, glassy glaze on the cherry, and the faux suede tech.)
My Time To Craft - Rip it up (I had to rip the orange c/s to make the faux suede look)


This next project uses an image from DZ Doodles. The was a one was a challenge due to the colors I was to use and the limited images I have. I really need to make some purchases from them. I decided to use the mouse ornament I have. I really like how it turned out, but now I have to decide how to use it since it's not really a Halloween card. Maybe I will still use it for a Christmas card. What do you think?


Challenges used:
Ditgital Tuesday challenge - color challenge: Kraft, Orange, & any other color
DZ Doodles - color challenge: Orange, Black
Paper Take Weekly - Spots n Stripes
Character Cafe - use papers only from Halloween paper pack & glitters (The paper came from an old SU! Halloween pack and the glitter is on the stars, eyes, nose)

These are both fantastic projects. Love your cupcake box.
The card is just too cute too. I think it would still be fine for christmas, maybe add some gold glitter for a little festivity.

Your pillow box is great! I have never thought to use sketches of any kind to decorate boxes, and it's a great idea! I always make great boxes and keep them a little plain for whatever reason. Love the mouse image. You could definitely use for Christmas.
