I don't make many Halloween cards, but I really had fun with this one. Plus, I used a couple dies for the first time--yay! Reverse Confetti Halloween Bits die set was in a destash giveaway some time ago and I won Memory Box Happy Halloween Posh Script a few months ago. I also pulled out SSS Birch Tree Window die that I used once in the past for a Halloween card. 
I started by covering the bat in WOW Regal Sparkles (glitter) and the ghost in Ice Pop. The bat was outlined with a silver pen and the ghost with a black one. I backed the bat eyes with a scrap colored with the silver pen and the ghost eyes and mouth with a scrap colored with the black. I ink blended the background using Distress Oxides fossilized amber and spiced marmalade. The cardfront was covered with MB glossy black cardstock for a nice contrast from the plain black cardstock I used to die cut the window. 
I ink blended the Happy Halloween shadow to match the background and stacked it 2 high. The words were die cut from the glossy black cardstock. There's a video showing the sparkle and shine in my IG post. Be sure to check out all the wonderful creations by the JUGS team and I'd love to see you in the gallery! I'm entering SSS WCMD and WAW.

I have this die too, and you're right, it could also be used for a Halloween card. Well done.

I love this spooky Halloween scene! I love that window die framing this and the that fabulous sentiment. It totally glows!
ReplyDeleteI love how you just highlight part of the birch tree and what a wonderdul backdrop. Hoot hoot for those colourful bats. Super halloween card Gerda.
ReplyDeleteThe ghost is hiding out among the wonderful tree window die. Maybe he's afraid of bats. I love the glimmer and ink blending along with the glossy cardstock. Fun card, Greta.
