Hey everyone!
It's only a couple of days before Halloween, are any of you dressing up? I guess I'm what you call a non-dresser for Halloween, but I do like the event. Not sure if we're going to get the same 10-15 people coming to trick or treat at our house so just in case I'm getting a few bags of my favorite candy because if none come at least I'll enjoy eating the leftovers. hahaha!
Today I have a Halloween card, but did not use a traditional Halloween image. This little girl is another one of the cuties from the Three Little Autumn Girls set at All Dressed Up that has been sitting on my desk for a while. Thought it would be fun to get her dressed up in Halloween colors (black & orange) with some grays and hints of purple, as in purple hair! :)
I used a new Sizzix die for the intricate black background. It was a bit difficult to work with, but the end result was a worth it. I'll have to figure out a better way to remove it from the die next time. I hadn't done clouds in a while and thought gray to black looked cool here. I used a Studio G spider web to add a bit more spookiness but didn't add the spider cause it just wasn't cute enough. (hahaha) See the flower?
There's the spiders! I used the poinsettia die from Paper Smooches and some new Recollections Halloween paper to create the spooky spider flower and added a nice big orange gem to the center. The sentiment(s) is from CC Designs, AmyR Ghostly Greetings sentiment set and I used another Sizzix die to cut it out. I'm going to join in the All Dressed Up Halloween challenge with this card. Wish me luck! (haha)
I have one more Halloween post coming up on Thursday so hope you'll stop by again. In the meantime, stop by the Yumi & Fumi Handmade blog for the newest challenge. We've got a color challenge (orange, black, green, purple) going on and if you use those colors why not link up? Go HERE to see all the details.
Mahalo for stopping by!! Have a great day!!
