Halloween Theme Week- Day 1

Hi friends! It’s Stefanie here and today we are kicking off Pretty Pink Posh’s Halloween Theme Week! We will be sharing lots of crafty inspiration.

**All items in the Halloween Section are 15% off during theme week!

My card today features the Halloween Envelopes stamp set and a sentiment from Ghost Friends stamp set.

There are coordinating dies for both sets, but for my card I only needed the Halloween Envelopes Coordinating Dies.

To create my card, I started by stamping out the envelope with the most adorable creepy critters and some tiny extras on white cardstock. Then I colored my images with Copic markers.

• Ghosts: B00, B000, R30, R000
• Bats and Hair: W5, W3, W1
• Frankenstein: BG93, YG61, R30
• Spiders: BV02, B60, R32
• Outer Envelope: E42, E41
• Inner Envelope: E40
• Splatter: W9

I laid my images out on an A2 card base so it looks like the creepy fliers and the creepy crawlers are spilling out of the envelope to see where I wanted my background ink blending.

I used distress oxide in Iced Spruce to blend heavily from the bottom right corner and fade to white in the upper left. Then I adhered my colored images using foam tape.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed “Boo to you” in white on black cardstock, then cut it out to the shape I wanted. I think it fits nicely in the corner!

Finally to tie everything together, I added a little bit of “splatter” using a Copic marker. I think it matches the sentiment and draws a line for the eye from the top to the bottom of the card.

At the end, I added a touch of highlight using a white gel pen and my card was done.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like my card! Be sure to come back tomorrow for Day 2 of Halloween Theme Week!
