Carol chose the new colors for this round at Color Hues, and in my opinion, it is just perfect for Halloween.
Although the card didn't end up the way I envisioned it, I had so much fun creating it, and the end result is so much better than what I first envisioned.
I pulled out Royal Purple (Simon Says) and Orange Zest (Papertrey Ink) for the card. After die cutting an oval into the front of the top folded purple card, I added a piece of orange to the inside of the card. Then I added the spider webs in glittery black cardstock which were die cut last fall with a friend's die. The "Scary Ghosts" are from Poppy Stamps, and I backed their eyes with a scrap of black cardstock. The ghost on the inside of the card is adhered with dimensional tape and the others were adhered to the front of the card, partially floating as ghosts are apt to do.
The sentiment is from Hero Arts, "Witch Feet" set, and the bat is die cut with one of the images from Spellbinders "Spooky Boo" which I cut three times and layered for some more dimension. Here's a look at the inside of the card.
So, one Halloween card down, and four to go!
Not everyone on the Design Team thought "Halloween" when the colors were announced, so be sure to hop over to the Color Hues blog and take a look at all the inspiration. We'd love to have you play along!
