Halloween card making is finally complete, and over the next week I’ll be sharing the cards I made. This one is for my mother-in-law who has always loved Halloween. In the days when she ran a very successful bed and breakfast, she often closed it over Halloween weekend to entertain her grandchildren with games, hide and seek, and lots of Halloween treats.
The design of this card was cased from a winner at The Paper Players Challenge several weeks ago. The original card was a fabulous example of a CAS card. I went a bit fancier with mine. I die cut the Pretty Pink Posh “Stitched Film Strip” from black paper and the Papertrey Ink “Corner Adorner: August” from silver glitter paper. Then I backed the opening in the frame with pieces from the die cut web.
I layered that on a bright purple paper and embossed the sentiment from The Stamp Market’s “Halloween” in silver. The cute spider (is any spider cute?) came from Hobby Lobby.
It all went on a bright orange cardbase. I never used much purple and orange together in past years, but this year, it’s been a favorite combination. I’m throwing this in the ring at the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge which is Spooky/Halloween.
The silver web and the HL spider are so fun and make your card pop! I think your MIL will enjoy this bright card!
I am not generally a fan of Halloween anything, but I am not surprised that I find your card enchanting! Cute and not too icky!! Perfect.
I like the purple & orange combo & I am sure your Mother in Law will like this card very much.
