When Tara at EK initially sent me goodies to play with, this was the first idea I had for a Halloween card, it just took me a little while to get to it. I wanted to show how to use the Wreath of Leaves in a completely different season.
I white embossed the Wreath of Leaves onto a charcoal color cardstock. Then I stamped the Large Web using Black Soot Distress Ink with a mist of water. I sponged more Black Soot around the edges moving inward, and wiped off excess ink from the wreath with a baby wipe. I used THIS skull with it's googly eyes (so FUNNY) with ribbon underneath. The greeting comes from THIS set of 12" spooky borders, just cut it to fit the card. I cut out the candy corns from THIS paper, and used Cackle Accents for an aged look.
I finished the card off by using three colors of Hero Arts gems: Sunshine, Floral and Neutrals mixed accents.
I hope you're enjoying this little journey through some Halloween fun, I still have a few more ideas to share with you this week. I'd love to hear your comments!
Enjoy!
