Hi there!

It’s that time of year when I’m torn between creating autumn and Halloween cards. I have so many beautiful supplies and I always feel I never use them enough! Today was the turn of Halloween with some products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

To start, I created a blended background using a number of distress inks (Black Soot, Hickory Smoke, Peeled Paint and Crushed Olive). I then embossed it with the Dashed Design embossing folder (65-001). I then cut the Big Boo die (51-794) from orange glitter paper plus a few pieces of white cardstock and stuck them all together to add dimension to the die cut. I used tape on the top layer as I knew I would want to lift parts of the orange die cut up later.

I then stamped, fussy cut and coloured three cute images from the Ghostly Greetings (30-594) set using my Twinkling H2O paints and distress ink (for the bat).

I adhered the BOO to may card and then tucked the image under the orange layer, using foam tape to hold them in place.

Although this was all I had planned for the card, I felt it still needed something more so I used the versatile Happy Builder mini stamp set (30-973) to create a stamped sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!
