Hi friends!
Today I am showing you how I made this Halloween card. I love Halloween and am so excited to make my first card of the season. I'm using a set by Diamond Press that came out last year. It is still available, link below!
I love traditional Halloween colors so I went with orange, purple, and black. I originally wanted the background to be black instead of orange but decided it was too much black. The main idea was to have the pictures in the frames to be black on black.
I cut the black background piece 1/2 inch smaller than the white card base (which is 4.25x5.5 inches) and then the orange by another 1.2 inch. I did this by using dies with a stitched border but these can easily just be cut with a paper trimmer.
I used shimmer paint and a fan brush to spatter paint for the the background.
I positioned 3 frames and a small sentiment on the card. Once I liked the arrangement I stamped the sentiment directly on to the card panel. I glued the frames to the panel. I stamped the images for the frames with clear embossing ink on to black paper cut from the same frame dies. I applied clear embossing powder and heated them. I hope you like the slight creepy look it has!
