Gosh this week is just flying by, here we are and it is Thursday in a few hours ! Been out shopping today and finished the day off with a lovely Chinese meal. Hoping to get some crafting done tomorrow. As Halloween is nearly upon us, I thought I would show you a card I made for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts a few weeks ago. My Grandson has his pumpkin now and is going to enter it into the school pumpkin competition ! 1 hope he wins lols. This card uses three really fun stencils.
Take some yellow card and colour with distress inks adding some hills to the bottom of the card. Spread some Black Stars Sparkle Medium through the stencil onto some spare yellow card for the moon with the bat, when dry cut it out and glue to the top right of the yellow card.. Do the same for the witch and fix a piece of acetate to the back of her. Fix the other end of the acetate to the back of the yellow card. Spread the sparkle medium over the different elements of the stencils ie., the castle, lightening fence and bats. Colour a large moon and glue behind the witch.
Matt this onto a piece of black card, slightly larger than the yellow card and then onto an A4 folded red card, (landscape style). Fix it to the left side of the red card. Make another bat and moon with a bat across it and fix to the top right of the red card. Below is a side view of the card and because the witch is fixed to a piece of acetate, she is free to swing and looks as though she is flying through the sky.
Trace around the pumpkin onto some yellow card using the stencil, cut out and colour the pumpkin with distress inks. Fix it to the bottom right corner using silicone glue to give the card some dimension.
To finish off the card, spread sparkle medium over the word Boo! using the stencil onto a spare piece of card. When dry, cut out the letters and glue to the pumpkin.
Viola ! one fun Halloween card finished ! Hope you like it, I would love to know what you think of it.. Until next time, have a nice weekend and thanks for stopping by to visit.
Take care of yourselves, I'll be back soon and I hope you will too !
Love and rainbows,
Hugs Jennifer xx
