This spooky card was extra fun for me to make because this color combination is one of my favorites for the Halloween season. I love the contrast the purple, green, and black create. It's very witches-brew-esque.
My favorite part of the card is the green puff paint on the green paper. It makes the paper look dimensional with the monochromatic scheme.

It's that time of year again, my favorite year in fact, and I'm so excited! I'm starting off with this funky (and extremely heavy weight-wise) card. That spider and cauldron are metal and suspiciously hefty. I used a bunch of bits and pieces I had from Halloween cards past and I love how it turned out.
I swear these felt skulls I bought a couple years ago are going to haunt me for forever because just when I think I'm about done with them I find more. I've always wanted a good ghost story, but this one isn't good so much as sad.

The countdown to my favorite Holiday continues with this cute little card. It's not as spooky as some of my other efforts, but it's perfect for some of my more wholesome friends.

Once again my phone camera isn't doing this card justice, but it's good enough.
I really enjoy using funky colors for these types of cards and these leftover bits I found in my stash really give me room to play.

Today's card feels surprisingly whimsical despite the large dark skull gracing the front of it.
Once again, I got to use some embossing powder which I think looks pretty cool with the other raised and textured elements in the design. I'm using up scraps and still creating pretty pieces that I'm very proud of. So far this October Halloween countdown has been very productive!

I'm starting to realize that I don't have quite as many Halloween sentiment stamps as I thought I had and I might need to remedy that soon...

The countdown continues with this funky Halloween card! It's mostly all made of scraps and other pieces I've had sitting around for far too long.
I'm trying to experiment more with color and try to branch out of the traditional Halloween colors for some of these. It's mostly an excuse for me to keep from going completely orange and black insane under the guise of creativity.

This Halloween card was really exciting for me to make because it's the first time in a long time that I've broken out the embossing powder. I forgot how much I love watching it gild itself under the heat gun.
I started out by just cutting the background triangles out of some of my Halloween paper, then the rest just unfolded from there. The scissors I used for all of my cutting were also old ones that my mom used to use way back when our family first got hit with the scrapbooking bug. Between them and the embossing powder I really felt transported back to that time.

I mostly aimed to use up some scraps when I designed this card, but I absolutely love how it turned out so I might try to emulate it in the future with what scraps I can scrounge up.
