Tis The Season To Be Spooky
Hi there my spooky friends! I started with a piece of purple card as the background. Next I cut the Spider's Web in white and glued it on top. I added a couple of Jamie's spooky gates cut in black to the bottom of the card. From the Halloween Frame, I cut the pumpkins in orange and added a soft yellow backing piece to them and I cut the mummy out of white card. I used a grey pencil and outlines the mummy's wrappings, then distressed the rest of him with Weathered Wood distress ink. I added the pumpkins and mummy to the bottom of the card with mounting foam. I cut two of the Ghoulish Ghosts in white and added some highlights with a soft blue pencil. I attached the ghosts to the top of the card. I cut the Tis The Season To Be Spookysentiment from the Halloween Frame in black. I matted it with a purple and black mat then attached it to the centre of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. I do love the features on the mummy and pumpkins, I can't help but smile at them, I could go as far as saying they have that cute look to them lol. Hope everyone is OK today. Sending love xx
Good Morning Sue. I am not the biggest Halloween fan... But... I agree with Pauline... This is the best so far... I dont know why but it just seems that way. Maybe because its colourfull rather than the usual halloween black and orange. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds Please stay safe and well 🙏
