I love Halloween, always have. So when Mary, over at Card TV, challenged us to make a Halloween card, I was super excited! I recently bought bothe the October 31 and the Happy Hauntings cartridges and used cuts from both on this card!
This 5.75 x 5.75 card fits perfectly in a 6 inch square envelope. The house is made with strips of grey Bazzil card stock, cut at .75" , inked and layered. The "brick"is just a piece of terra cotta card stock that I used a white gel pen to draw in the mortar and then dabbed ink on to age. The window was cut at 2.75 and the sign bracket at .75 from the Oct. 31 cartridge. The other cuts are Happy Hauntings. The ghost in the window is cut from vellum at 2.25", the fence is at 3" and the pumpkin at 2.5". The moon was cut at 2.75" with my MS Circle cutter and the "beware" is a sticker from MS Halloween line from 2007.
Thanks for the challenge Mary - this was super fun to do!
What a cute card. I love it. I have the Oct. 31st cartridge ordered and I have the Happy Haunting also. I entered the challenge but I had a hard time picking out the paper. I posted it on my blog:http://lovethatexpressions.blogspot.com/
