A Halloween Hello

Spellbinders | Happy Haunting Collection

Hi everyone!

Today’s card has me reminiscing about Halloweens past!  My brothers and I dressed up as ghosts – or whatever Shopko costume we chose – and going door-to-door.  Many times, we had winter coats over our costumes and mittens that never held onto the treats as securely as we wanted.  But it was always a fun and exciting surprise to get home and see what sweet goodies we had gotten – and then trading each other for our favorites!

I couldn’t resist the pup in his ghost costume on this card.  He’s cute as a bug!  

To make this card:

  1. Mask off a circle on your card base and ink blend a background using Distress Oxide Inks. 
  2. With the mask still in place, splatter the background with water and white and black paints.
  3. Die cut the pieces for your pup and his basket, then ink blend them using colors of your choice.
  4. Assembly your die cut pieces and use them to determine the best placement for your sentiment.  Be sure to stamp your sentiment before you add your diecuts to the card.
  5. Pop your pup and basket up using foam adhesive.
  6. Add a few gems for some shine!

I hope you like this card and that it inspires you to create something fun!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
