Lost Coast Designs Background Forward Challenge

This is a special challenge the first half of the month... Background stamps are the focus of the project.  A sentiment and or embellishments can be added, but the background stamp must be the star of the show!

I did not realize this stamp  of the Lost Coast Designs GRUNGE TREE is considered a background image until I was on the website looking at stamps.  I have been wanting the flying monkeys and was searching for it when I stumbled on a few stamps I own that are considered backgrounds! 

I only used half of the sentiment from Carmen's Veranda:

When witches go riding 

And black cats are seen  

The moon laughs and whispers

'Tis near Halloween

The sentiment is mounted on dimensional foam.

Today I have a new card using POE from Carmen Verada!  The shimmer on the black cardstock background is pearl alcohol ink. The POE stamps are from the internet. "Nevermore" words and phrases Lost Coast Designs. Embellished with ribbon, flower and crow. 

Lost Coast Designs is having a famous faces challenge - I will be linking POE to this also Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Walk of Fame  

Day 3 I created this card:

It felt like it was missing something.... WELL LOOK AT IT NOW!

I love the addition of the GOTH RAVEN from Lost Coast Designs to the POE image from LeighSBDesigns!
