I've started making Halloween cards now because it's just too stinking hot. I'm so done over summer. So I decided to use a new digital image that I've had for a while and not used (NBUS), from The Cat's Pajamas called Ghoulish which just happens to be FREE. Can you say SCORE?!
I started out by printing the image onto Hammermill white card stock before coloring using prismacolor markers and Castle Arts pencils then layered and added brads and set aside. My card is made using black Stampin Up card stock with the brick wall digital paper from We Are Three. After printing the brick wall out onto Hammermill white card stock, I trimmed it down to my card's size before adding it to my black card. I then dusted off a retired Spellbinders Halloween fence scene and shapes die and die cut scrap navy blue card stock before stippling Tim Holtz chipped sapphire distress ink over it then added it to my card. I then popped up my layered image using pop up glue dots before stamping the web/spider directly onto the brick wall in memento black. My final embellishments were prima flowers with black ice stickle center and highlighting the pumpkins/saying using a clear Sakura 3D glaze pen.

This is a fabulous Halloween card, Bonnie. I love all the little touches you gave it. I have a few of We Are 3's papers, they are awesome. Also Lily of the Valley makes some good ones, believe it or not! Found them on their etsy. They are called Backing Paper (British). XOX
