Happy Haunting

Hello bloggers!  I started by using Distress inks to create the background.  Using a piece of white card, I sponged Fossilized Amber in the centre of the card, then I added Spiced Marmalade around it and finished with Barn Door on the edges.  I cut a simple circle of yellow card and glued it in the upper right corner area.  I cut two of Jamie Rodger's Spooky Tree dies in black and glued them to the background.  Next I cut Jamie's gates from his Graveyard die set and added them along the bottom of the card.  I used Jamie's Happy Haunting sentiment cut in black and glued across the sun.  The last thing I added was two crows from the Spooky Tree die set and several bats scattered in the sky.  I completed the card with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.

Don’t miss Jamie demonstrate my new festive craft die collection today Tuesday 6th of  September at 4pm and Wednesday the 7th of September at 1pm and 5pm   There are some great additions to the Slimline range, accompanied by a versatile Slimline Christmas Accessories craft die set among others.   Tune in to see the shows on Sky 670, Freeview 73, Freesat 807 and via the HobbyMaker website   All for now, Sue x

Congratulations to all Halloween die winners. Same here Sue, even before the pandemic we had no little ones with parents dressed for Halloween knock our door, we see the odd house/garden dressed like a graveyard or haunted house but that's all. You did a great job and they made me smile so another launch to make us weirdly happy lol.

This is fabulous, a mix of 2 brains working together (how I love that film and Steve Martin) I'd like just ONE that works effectively. Today's inspiration is perfect for the occasion, Congratulations Sue.
Love to all xxx

Good morning Sue,
A fabulous card that is still Halloween but not too spooky that it would frighten a younger little one. Yvonne xx

Morning Sue,
Loving your Halloween card samples. I think Covid stopped trick of treaters from visiting for the last 2 years here.

Congratulations to the lucky winners. Enjoy your dies.

Good Morning Sue. Another spooky 👻 card and of
course a fabulous halloweeny 🎃 background. These will be great for the kids and I would think some of the Goth community would love them made up as a greeting card. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, I like this card and you have shown Jamie's dies perfectly - spooky but not scarily so although it looks like a graveyard that I wouldn't want to walk through :-). Looking forward to seeing Jamie demonstrate your dies later.

Congratulations to the winners, I'm sure you will have plenty of fun with your dies.

Crewe Trish - Happy Birthday to you and welcome to the 70+ club. Hope you have a wonderful day.
