Ghoulish Greetings
Hi there my crafty friends! I started today's card by going through my scrap box and finding some amethyst, antique gold and gold mirror card. I cut them into half inch strips. I covered a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet. I laid down the strips next to each other on the adhesive sheet, alternating the colours. Next I cut a white frame using the Double Stitched Rectangles. I added mounting foam to it and added it to the middle of the card. I cut the Skeleton die set in white. I cut them again in amethyst card and nipped away the hats. I glued the purple hats on to the white skeletons and added them inside the frame. I cut the Ghoulish Greetings in black and glued it beneath the frame. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 9 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a great way to use up all those scraps, the background looks amazing. Hands up who else has loads of scraps that they keep.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Not sure today…Love all the elements- the skeletons are such fun and the background is great as is the sentiment though maybe a little lost (but that could just be the photo s) but not sure…
Hi Sue. Not your typical scary Halloween card, but a good example of a design that could be used for other cards and a great idea for using up all those scraps that we all collect.
This card is great sue great for useing scraps that all crafters save for another time it makes you smile thank you sue xxxxxstay safe my friends June Horrocks xxxxxx
Hello Sue, a great card and the background is fabulous. Glad I am not alone for having a lot of scraps. I try to organise them by colour but then forget to use them lol Marion S x
Hi Everyone, I am behind on posting. Its been very busy here lately. Anyhow, I do love this card. Love the craft busting background. I used the skeletons on a number of Halloween cards that just went out yesterday but didn't think of this background. Maybe next year....with my memory, who am I kidding? Have a great weekend, Stephanie K
