Halloween 31
Hi everyone! I’ve started seeing ghosts and witches on front lawns! You know it’s that time of year!When Halloween came around, my sister and I would walk the neighborhood, knocking on doors and going as far as we could before we came home exhausted with a bag full of candy. Oh, the candy corn and apples and goodies we had!
My Halloween card was inspired by those neighborhood travels.
My materials:
I used The Townscapes Alterations die and some grungeboard to cut out the town. I colored it with some walnut distress ink which gave it an old woody kind of look. I wanted the windows to glow and I wondered, “Now how can I get windows to glow?” I used some gold stardream paper behind the grungeboard.
My card mat is in black cardstock and is flicked with silver paint. Looks pretty good, don’t you think?
I cut a circle out of silver glossy and added that to my card. I attached the houses with mounting tape to give it some lift.
I needed to add some kind of sentiment to the cover to identify my card. What better than “31”? I got the number from Tim Holtz’ Seasonal Stickers.
Here are some close ups of my card.
I hope this card inspires you to make some scary cards of your own! Until next time!
