Bats and Ghouls

Hi fellow crafters, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing some Halloween inspiration with my spooky card. I always have great fun at this time of the year creating cards with scenes on them.

For this card I decided to make my own inky background using Distress Inks and mounted it onto white cardstock. 

My spiders web was drop shadowed adding another inky layer on top with my sentiment which compliments the Twisted Tree Die so well. Finishing this area with a couple of scary ghouls.

My skeleton I cut his legs off and then placed all the parts behind the gravestone in a fun abstract way.

My Twisted Tree I decided to lay on its side to look like a spooky branch also adding a drop shadow to it. I then added my crow and attached my bats on to the branch by drawing a line with a fineliner pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you feel inspired to create a fun Halloween card.

Crafty Hugs,

Who Ate The Spider !

Hi Everyone, I am having so much fun with the Halloween Dies from Cheery Lynn Designs, creating little scenes on my cards that I just had to share another one with you for my DT project this week.

My background was created with Hickory Smoke and Stormy Sky and a Spiders Web Stencil.

My Washing Line and Moon were cut out in White Cardstock and coloured with Copics adding a little bling on to the Witches shoes.

My Tombstone was also cut out in White Cardstock and shaded with Distress inks. My Barbed Wire was heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder and a little Rust Coloured Stazon ink added to it.

As you can see my very naughty Horrible Cat ate the Spider off the web ! I cut my cat out in Black Cardstock and trimmed his head and front legs off. I then glued the body part in to a sitting position and placed a little Silicone Glue on to the back of his head and re positioned it for added dimension. My Spider I trimmed his legs down a little bit in an uneven way so they had a chewed look to them.

Thanks for stopping by today.
