Happy Halloween Monsters

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I’m sharing a Halloween card I made inspired by some patterned paper that I have had sitting in my collection for too long!

I started with making a custom background by stenciling the Halloween Words Stencil with Distress Oxides in Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed, Pumice Stone and Peacock Feathers on white cardstock. Using the largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies, I cut it and splattered some black ink before setting it aside to dry.

Next I did a lot of die cutting from patterned paper using the Build A Monster Dies and assembled them all together. You can see the steps I did to build them by watching my video today! I also added some pink cheeks with a marker and some white highlights with a gel pen.

My sentiment is embossed in white on black cardstock using “Happy Halloween” from the Halloween Corners Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies. I also cut the second largest die from the Stitched Torn Rectangles Dies out of vellum. I layered the stenciled background onto a card base, then the vellum, followed by the monsters and sentiment with foam adhesive to give them some dimension on top of the Stitched Torn Rectangles.

I love these unique colors for Halloween and that you can personalize the monsters in such a fun way with patterned paper! What color combination would you use with the Build A Monster Dies for Halloween?
