Boo To You

Hello, Gemma here today to share a Halloween card with a mix of older and new products.

I began by creating the background. On a piece of grey card, I used the new Crackle Background stencil with distress oxide inks in Hickory Smoke and Black Soot.

I then splattered the background with sparkle spray mixed with some of the black soot distress oxide ink. This gives added texture and sparkle. Once dry, I adhered to an A2 landscape card base.

To create a large word across the front of my card, I started with the coordinating die from the Boo stamp set for the letter B. I die cut it from purple card, adding some layers and an offset white layer to help it stand out from the background.

Next, I die cut a Stitched Pumpkin, adding a spooky face and adding layers as I did with the letter B.

Finally, I die cut a Stitched Ghost from sparkle white card. I added a black offset layer this time.

For an additional sentiment, I white heat embossed on black card a greeting from the Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set. I die cut this out with a Stitched Strip die, and added a couple of layers to this also.

I adhered the die cut images across the card to form the word ‘BOO’, then added the additional strip sentiment below to finish.

I hope this card inspired you to look at your craft stash and see what other dies you can use to “spell” out words!
