Like a Moth to a Flame

I used mostly gradient fills to help color in this image to get the effect that I wanted. When using gradient fills I find that each element of the image has to be colored in on it's own layer to get a separate effect. Like for the leaves for instance...each leaf had to be colored in on a separate layer or the gradient fill would be spread across all three of the leaves.

The challenges involved in this entry are:

Allsorts...Use a candle

Beware of What Lerks on Halloween Night

I guess I have just added another color for Halloween..red! And why shouldn't it be...blood and guts are always thought of that night! ;D

This nontraditional card is for three challenges:
Allsorts Challenge...spots and stripes

The image used in this challenge is one of Dustin Pikes...I think his images are hilarious and fun to color.

Happy Birthday

Allsorts Challenge is called bingo. Card Patterns is a sketch, both are pictured below.

This challenge is for Card Patterns which is always a sketch. I enjoy doing sketches because the layout is provided for you. The digi papers and embellishments are from a free digi kit, I would post the artist's link but all I have is a name and that is shariabraxton. Thank you!
