The Fusion Challenge is “Purple Nights.”

Fusion 201016 Purple Night-001

I loved the purple sky, and that was the source of my inspiration for another Halloween card—this one for my only grandson.

Ghosts

I started with a piece of Amethyst Allure cardstock, ink blending with purple and black inks around the edges, leaving the center lighter. I also added a bit of white in the middle. “Caught in the Web” from Ink to Paper was die cut from True Black cardstock. I randomly added some Spectrum Noir glitter to the web which is, as always, nearly impossible to detect in the photos, but effective IRL. It’s interesting that in the original photos, it’s visible, but once uploaded to the blog it seems to disappear.

The two ghosts are from Ink to Paper’s “Ghosts and Ghoulies. I added the google eyes and attached the ghosts with Wobblies. I had no luck trying to do a short video of the ghosts wobbling  back and forth when you flick them, but it’s pretty cute. The sentiment is from “Friendship Jar Fillers: Autumn,” one of my all-time favorite sets from Papertrey Ink.

The card went in the mail today with a layer of foam on top and in a 5×7 envelope with extra postage. Hope it gets there intact!

  1. It’s a fun card & I’m sure he’ll have a broad smile when he sees & knows his Gran made for him. I like that shade of purple.

  2. Beautiful ink blending and LOVE the sparkle of the web…. and he will be so excited to see the google eyes and wobble-y ghosts!!
    A faboolous addition to the Fusion Challenge gallery!

  3. I bet he’ll love it! How clever to add the moving parts – always exciting and fun for a little one :). The sparkle must give it a little extra something too.

  4. You really rocked that purple background and I love the cute ghosts. Photos never do sparkle justice but we are good at imagining it! How fun to have the ghosts on wobblies and with those googly eyes!
