Boo To You!

Good Sunday morning all!  I selected a piece of soft grey card to use for the background.  To give it an eerie feel, I swiped  a black distress ink pad across it, then used an old yellow pigment pad (it was almost dry) and then finished with an old Snow Cap pigment ink pad. I used a round die and cut a large moon out of black gloss card and glued it to the upper right corner.   I cut the Skeleton Frame in black and cut it to extend it (without actually extending it), but I glued the pieces into the left and right corners, removing the very top part of it.  I cut the Haunted House die in black and glued a yellow backing behind it.  I added that to cover the cut skeleton frame area.  I added two bats cut from black gloss card above it.  I used the Boo To You sentiment from the same named frame and cut it in black and shadowed it with a white die cut, then glued it to the middle of the card.  The card was completed using white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  9 1/4"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

An atmospheric Spooky Halloween card. Love the card. My nephew's wife sent me a message that the Halloween card I sent them was a big hit with their 3 year old daughter who carries it around and "reads" it.
