EEK, CHILLS, BOO!

 I send salutations to all my crafty persons!  

Another festive Halloween card has been created in my crafty space.  I was quite busy this past weekend I must say!

Here it is:

Actually I ended up adding a sentiment & bling to it, but the above photo really shows off the really nice distress ink blend that I achieved!  I blended milled lavender, wilted violet, seedless preserves, chipped sapphire, and black soot to get these results.  The blending was done on a sheet of Ranger distress watercolor paper.  I had an 'oopsie' on the other side and did not want to waste the paper, so I figured if I blended a dark blend on the opposite side, it would not show thru.  It worked quite well and my 'oopsie' turned into a 'HECK YES' moment!

I splattered some white gold (No. 906) from the Kuretake Gansai Tambi starry colors palette onto the panel in addition to some water droplets.  Then I matted it onto a dark purple A2 vertical card base.

 

The twisted tree oval die was cut from Neenah 80# cardstock and so were the whittle ghosts.  Both of those dies are from #Poppystamps.  Aren't they adorbs?!  I think so and they pair so nicely together!

Copic markers were used on the oval frame:  BV17, BV34, E47, E89, & C10.  Just some simple coloring for a big impact!  Or should I say, spooky impact!  

I kept all the pieces together with some washi tape on the back and then popped it up with foam tape.  I popped up the ghosts with foam dots.  

Happy Haunting mix from Little Things from Lucy's cards embellishments were used all over the panel to keep the chills coming. 

I finished off the card with three simple words (eek, chills, boo) that I had embossed onto black cardstock with white embossing powder.  These words are from a Whimsy Stamp set called You're my Boo.  I trimmed the words because I could not bear to cover up anymore of the wonderful spooky background!  

Here is the finished card:

Thanks for popping on over here today to see my post!  I hope you enjoyed it.  I sure do ENJOY having you here, so I can spread some crafty (HALLOWEEN) cheer!
