Ghoulish Greetings
Hi bloggers! I selected a piece of silver sparkle alcohol ink card to use for the background. I selected some alcohol inks and added a few drops of each colour to a piece of felt on an applicator and I used it on the silver sparkle card. I started in the centre with Sunshine Yellow, then moved to Sunset Orange then to Boysenberry around the outer edges. I cut a Spooky Tree out of black card and added it to the left side of the card. I cut the Vampire die out of milk card. I used markers to colour his cape, jacket and pants. I added his face with a fine tipped marker. I attached the vampire in front of the tree. I cut the ghost from the Trick Or Treaters die set. I cut the ghost out of white card and used a marker for the feet and legs and pumpkin. I attached the ghost with foam on the right side of the card. I cut the Ghoulish Greetings in black and glued it above the ghost. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
