I bought this Impression Obsession sentiment a couple of years ago but hadn't used it before now. With it's fun message and decorative fonts, I really felt it deserved to stand alone as my focal point.
Used Distress Oxides (Orange Marmalade, Twisted Citron and Wilted Violet) to color an area of cardstock slightly larger than I needed. Once dry, stamped and embossed the sentiment. Die cut using my favorite MFT In & Out Square dienamics. Cut another sheet of thin cardstock to put behind my stitched square for added dimension. Matted to slightly larger black square.
Cut 5" square panel of Bazzill Diamond Bling card stock and attached to card base. Centered and adhered my focal panel.
Looked through my diamond bling scrap box and found this leftover frame from another project. Trimmed it down a bit and used glossy accents to the back and attached to my card. (Hint: In order to get this thin frame straight, I got it positioned, then used post it tape on bottom and right to "edge" the frame. After applying the glossy accents, it was simple to just position into the tape corner. Just remove the tape and you have a perfectly placed frame!)
Easy Peasy!

Such a fun Halloween sentiment, Debbie. I love how you let the text be the star of your creative card design. Wonderful die cutting and framing. TFS your tip on how to center the narrow frame. Hugs...Nancy
