I never thought that I would be making cards let alone Halloween cards. I got into card making because I was looking for a quick project that I could finish in a couple of hours. I had delved into scrap booking several years ago but lost interest in it. Card making was perfect because I could use those cool scrap book supplies and embellishments in my projects. Here are some of my Halloween cards.
Here are two of the cards that I finished this weekend. I'm including the directions for both cards.
Witch Card: Supplies: Martha Stewart Halloween border punch; cream, black and purple card stock; Basic Grey Halloween paper;stamps by Inky Antics; Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist; ribbon; color pencils.
Stamp witch on white card stock using black ink, place a mask of the witch over the stamped image and stamp the pumpkin. Color the witch and pumpkin with color pencils and cut out images.
Spray black card stock with Raven Glimmer Mist and let it dry. Spray the card stock again with Sea Glass Glimmer Mist and let it dry.
Mat tree patterned Halloween paper to black card stock and then mat onto purple card stock.
Glue witch and pumpkin on the tree patterned paper at the base of the trees. Stamp bats in the trees.
