Spooky Greetings
Hello bloggers! I used an older Christmas die for this Halloween card. I cut the Christmas Scene Mini Background cut in black using just the outer die. I added mounting foam to the back of it. I cut just the bottom village scene again and added it on top of the original. I backed it with a piece of deep orange card. I used some Fossilized Amber distress ink on a smoothie to the centre of the orange card. I cut a large yellow circle and glued it inside the frame. I cut the small flying witch from the Haunted House die set. Before gluing the witch, I used a smoothie with Black Soot Distress ink on it and swiped it sort of diagonally across the circle to look like the trail made by the witch. I glued the witch in place and added the Spooky Greetings sentiment, cut in black, below. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue, I do like seeing your older dies working alongside your new ones. Love the fiery glow in the background, a little bit like our sky here at the moment. Crafty Hugs,Pauline x

A lovely halloween card. Who would have thought a Christmas die could be used in a halloween card but it does, so well. Love the witch speeding across.
Good morning Sue, A fabulous card, I love how you have put a little trail from the witch & the little village scene below standing out. It just shows how a Christmas die can be used in other formats. Yvonne xx

Hi Sue Oh I have that Christmas village scene die and it looks great in your Hallowe’en card with the witch flying across the night sky instead of Santa on his sleigh
