Halloween Theme Week- Day 2

Hi Friends! It’s Jane here today and I’m sharing this fun pretty pink Halloween shaker card. Breaking from tradition, I thought it would be fun to create a pink and black Halloween card (rather than the traditional orange and black).

To start, I created a background using an A2 piece of Bristol smooth cardstock and masked a cresent moon  from the Halloween friends stamp set.  Next, I ink blended the following distress inks (bottom to top): tattered rose, spun sugar and worn lipstick and splatted the background with water to create some interest. 

Next, I heat embossed the pumpkins from Pumpkin Patch Critters stamp set using versamark ink and white embossing powder. Then using distress inks in the same colors as the background plus picked raspberry and festive berries, I ink blended the pumpkins in an ombre pink pattern. The ghosts are from the Halloween Friends stamp set. All the images were cut using the coordinating dies. Black cardstock was used to cut the grass, frame and trees using the Nature Essentials die.  

To create a shaker, I glued down all the elements to a clear acetate sheet and stamped the sentiment from the Halloween Friends stamp set using black StazOn ink. Here are the Pretty Pink Posh sequins used to fill the shaker: 3mm sparkling clear sequins, 6mm sparkling clear sequins, 4mm ballerina pink sequins, silver star confetti, iridescent stars and a few tiny iridescent stars. Double foam tape was adhered to the frame and the front of the card was adhered to the ink blended base. 

Finally, the card front was mounted to an A2 card base.  I added a few details with a white gel pen, and that completes the card!
