The first two Halloween cards have been created and will go in the mail today. There's just one week for them to reach their destination. Wisconsin doesn't seem so far away, but the time for delivery of a letter or card varies widely. I try to make sure there's at least a week before the event.
The first one is for Caleb, and the color choices came from The Addicted to CAS Challenge: Black, Purple, and Green. I hope the spider web doesn't disqualify the card from being CAS, but I enjoyed using those colors regardless. I'm also sending this off to the Festive Friday Challenge where I used: Black, Spider, and Ghost from the list.
I started with a Royal Purple card base (Simon Says) and added a black web from Papertrey Ink's, "Caught in the Web." Last year I bought these creepy spider stickers by Jolee, but never used any of them. I decided Caleb would enjoy it. The ghost is from the only new Halloween set I purchased this year, Ghost, from The Stamp Market. The sentiment cut from a green scrap is also from that set.
I die cut a larger ghost for the inside and stamped my sentiment from PTI's Sentiment Staples: Halloween. I gave this ghost some green eyes
Hannah's card uses the more traditional orange and black colors.
I used a lot of different products to create this card: the ghost is from Ellen Hutson's Ghost Hugger. The ghost is holding a pumpkin stamped, fussy cut, and shaded with Copic markers from Grateful Home by right at home. The card base is my favorite orange-Orange Zest by PTI to which I added a Circle Cover Die by Reverse Confetti in black.
I added some dimensional tape behind the pumpkin so the ghost's "hands" also had some dimension. The cute die cut sentiment is from PTI's To Die For Sentiments: Halloween.
I used two stamp sets for the sentiment: Happy Halloween from The Stamp Market and Sentiment Staples: Halloween from Papertrey Ink. The little ghost is also from the Happy Halloween set.
I'm sending both cards to another challenge: Inspired By: Ghosts.
