Happy Saturday friends!

I wasn’t planning on making a Halloween card this weekend, but when I saw the Freshly Made Sketches challenge, I could not get a Halloween idea out of my head… so this morning, I got busy with some products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

This card evolved a LOT as I played around with the stamps and dies! The bat and hats were the only constant! The bat is from the Ghostly Greetings set (30-594) and the hat is from the Sweet Witch mini set (30-597). I didn’t mask the witch’s face when I stamped the images but then I decided that I wants to add some depth to the image. So, I cut some ovals from black card, adhered them under the hat image and then fussy cut around it to leave a thin white border.

I had originally planned to include two more stamped images but when I started to assemble the card, I decided a couple of glittery die cuts might provide some nice contrast! As I went through my newly-organised dies, I spotted the vine die in the Hanging Planter set (51-501) which I thought would work well – I cut into the back of the glitter card to reverse the image.

I wanted to add some colour to the top of my card to ground the images, but I didn’t want to blend ink as I had done that on my Big Boo card. So I smooshed some Frayed Burlap distress ink instead and added a tiny amount of Crooked Broomstick Mica stain as well.

Finally and I hung the images from one of the branch dies in the Nestled set (51-722) and added white Nuvo drops to create the berries and complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!
