I have fun and bright Halloween card today. And it’s pretty easy to make, so as soon as these dies are released (soon!) be sure to grab them. Then pick your favorite bright background, add the die cuts and done!
A big congrats to Misty, the newest Featured Stamper (FS918). She has a fantastic gallery & I was inspired by THIS card. I liked the black lacy die cut over a bright background, so I kept that, but I used different dies, colors, turned it vertical & made mine a Halloween card.
For my spooky spider card, I die cut the spider web, parts of the spider & the shadow of the word die out of black. The web is a cover die & I wanted it a bit smaller so I used the 2 largest rectangle dies to cut a narrow black frame, attached it over the web & trimmed off the excess. Then I looked around to see what background I had to go under it. I found this really bright scraped acrylic paint background I made ages ago. I tried, but I just couldn’t get the camera to get the colors exactly right. It’s a much brighter, orangey/yellow neon color in real life. I looked good under the web so I used it under & also cut the word die out of it. The background is really easy..just drop some big dots of acrylic paint on plain card stock, near one edge, then take an old credit card or similar tool & scrape the paint across the the rest of the paper. Don’t try to blend it & be aware of the colors you’re using so you don’t make mud.
The spider & die cut greeting are popped up for dimension.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
