Tis' The Season To Be Spooky

Hello crafters!  Today's card was a bit of an experiment, but I loved the way it turned out!  I started with a piece of white Yupo card.  I used Purple Twilight, Sunset Orange and Sunshine Yellow Alcohol Inks on a felt applicator.  I worked from the centre outwards by pouncing the applicator tool on the Yupo card.  Once I had it like I wanted, I put a few drops of Blending Solution on the applicator felt and went over it.  This creates little bubble-like areas on the card.  I cut the Spider's Web in black then cut it into sections and glued them to the top of the card.  I cut Jamie's Spooky Tree die in black and glued it to the card.  I added a raven and some bats flying around it.  I also used Jamie's gate (from his Graveyard die set) and added another raven to it.  I used the Tis the Season To Be spooky sentiment from my Halloween Frame to the right of the tree.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue.
If there was ever a perfect Halloween card or scene then this has to be it. I've fallen in love with your Halloween dies, it's such a shame it's not my favourite time of year, but I your dies are just fantastic.
Love to all xxx
