Today I'm sharing a card that I created for a new blog,
Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge. - I found out about this from one of my blogging/stamping friends, Leslie Miller who just happens to be one of the design team members for this new blog.
Here is the card that I created for the challenge:
I think this might be one of my all time favorite Halloween cards that I've created. This one came together exactly how I envisioned it.
I started with a Basic Black (SU) card Base. Then I added a piece of designer paper, DCWV-Spooky time stack. - Because the color wasn't exactly what I wanted I sponged on some distress ink to get the shade I was looking for.
Next up I stamped the Crow image on Whisper White card stock and used distress inks sponged over the image. I mounted that to a piece of Pumpkin Pie Card Stock. The sentiment was stamped the same way and mounted on Basic Black card stock.
I added a punched spiderweb border, a distressed strip on pumpkin pie card stock that I accordion folded and then glued down.
Finishing touches were black pearls & a punched spider that I added black glitter too.
Stamp Sets Used: Crow - Inkadinkado - Sentiment from Creepylane Stamp Set - Inkadinkado - I've used this crow before. You can view that card HERE
Distress Inks: Dried Marigold, Fired Brick (Tim Holtz) and I added a little Memento London Fog ink as well
Other Items: Spider Punch - EK Success, Black Hole Glitter-The Art Institute, Black Pearls-Annabelle Stamps (no longer in business), Spiderweb Punch-Martha Stewart
This is an awesome card.I like everything about it

It is one of my favorite cards! There is just something about it...well, everything about it. I don't think it could be improved in any way.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an elegant Halloween card and I love every single detail of it. That MS spider punch is perfect, I swear I owned it and I have no idea where it went!
