Splashes of Watercolor

So this is a really different Halloween card for me!  I’m used to doing cutesy ones for the grandkids.  But I thought that this iron gate looking folder from the Cuttlebug Heritage set would make a good background for a Halloween scene.

The only thing I stamped is that great sentiment from the Our Craft Lounge Spooky Tags set.  The bat and jack-o-lantern are grungeboard pieces.  I coated the bat with Ranger Inkssentials black enamel accents, then outlined it with a silver leafing pen.  The jack-o-lantern is backed with a piece of dark yellow cardstock, then coated with Glossy Accents and covered with Art Institute Turning Leaf glitter.

I dyed the seam binding with Ranger spiced marmalade Distress ink.  And don’t you love the wooden Bingo token?  It’s from Maya Road.

I also used the Drippy Goo border punch (Martha Stewart) and the Fanciful Labels embossing plus folder from Cuttlebug.

***ETA: I've entered this card in the Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge #10 - a Halloween creation using ribbon.  Check it out!

Mummy!!

Run!  It's a toilet paper mummy!  LOL!  This Mummy X-ing stamp set from Our Craft Lounge is a riot!  I just had to make a card with the mummy running around in the moonlight!

I purchased  a few rolls of crepe paper in Wally World the other day, so I used some of the black by gathering it and stitching it to the patterned paper before it was adhered to the card front.

The moon was sponged using the reverse mask of a circle die cut, and I also sponged the sentiment oval to match it.

YAY!  I'm slowly making progress on getting all my Halloween cards for the grandkids done! 

Thanks so much for stopping by to have a look!  Have a great weekend!

Boo!  Ha, ha!  I wanted to play along with the Our Craft Lounge sketch for this week.

This is what it looks like:

I pretty much stuck to the sketch, which is a feat in itself for me!  Here's my Happy Fright Night card:
