Hi there friends!
Today's Halloween card is made by using an embossing folder by Crafter's Companion. I used the original Crafter Companion's Gemini machine to run the 3D embossing folder. I don't link up that in my supplies because there is a new model available that I don't own. I also own a Sizzix Big Shot Foldaway. This one still works great and I see no need to replace it -- use what you have!
If you run the embossing folder through the die cut machine it comes out like this:
I think this is a beautiful design just as it is but i was in the mood for some color. To color the flat background, swipe an ink pad along the folder on the inside side that the features are indented. I do and run through the machine and repeat for more coverage. You likely won't get a perfectly crisp result and that's okay, I don't always want that.
Now color can be added to the parts that didn't get inked. I used alcohol markers. I almost colored the "Trick or Treat" gray or black but then I chose to leave it white because it is the rarest color (if you consider white a color) used. I really love how it turned out. I added some holographic stars for sparkle and matted on a orange glitter paper.
