Hello friends! I'm popping in to share a card made for the challenges at Just Us Girls and Festive Friday. I had a die set on my desk for creating one last (I think) Halloween card for my family and realized it would work great for both of these challenges.
The little ghost cup with it's cute smiling face reminded me of the three I was readying for my card, except they have a few more apparel items, shall we say!
My card has 4 items off the Inspo List - orange, black, green and a Halloween sentiment.
And here's what I ended up making...
These adorable ghosts are from a die set that I bought on sale earlier this year because I found their cuteness so charming. I used a quad layout for my card similar to an example on the Spellbinders website except I changed up a number of things.
I went with classic Halloween colors of green, orange, purple and black, both for the attire that the ghosts are wearing and the background. After putting together the three ghosts and the sentiment, I went to work on the background.
I used four different colored panels cut to 2.5" x 3.5" and adhered them together on a 5" x 7" piece of super lightweight cardstock. Not quite as thin as copy paper, which would work fine too, but thin enough that I could then emboss the layered panel after finding the right sandwich. One of the small panels had pulled away from abutting the other during the embossing, so I cut four black strips to cover that up, which also acted to separate each of the four sections.
The ghosts were then added with thin foam tape as was the pumpkin candy holder and the sentiment. Lastly, I used some black star embellishments that came in my Heroween kit to add a bit of sparkle. I think these ghosts are so adorable and I'm also thinking their hats and glasses might work with other dies sets...we'll have to see!
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
