Hi, it's Candice with you this evening! I really hope you all have been enjoying the daily dose of Halloween on the Whimsy Blog this month and have been inspired to create! I am going to continue the Halloween fun today by sharing a Happiest of Haunts slimline card with you!
I began my card by creating an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which fits perfectly into the size 9A envelopes.
I first stamped the Happiest of Haunts stamp and heat embossed in black along the bottom of my card. I then stamped it again on masking paper and trimmed to mask the image.
Next, I created the background using Rusty Hinge, Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin, Dried Marigold and Scattered Straw. I splatter it with black and white paint using a damp paint brush and then removed the mask.
While I let that dry, I die cut the bats from grey and black velvet paper and the moon & stars from gold foil paper. The moon I created by cutting twice with a stitched circle die.
I water colored the images with Tombow markers and Copic markers for her skin.
To finish the card, I added the layered Halloween with purple velvet as the top layer.
I hope you and your kids are all ready for Halloween in a few days and maybe feel inspired to create one last Halloween card before putting it all away until next year!
Happy Halloween to all my crafty friends, and I will see you next month as we begin all our scrambling to get our Christmas cards done!

Love the gold moon. This is really cute. I'm not sure how to link in. I've been commenting almost every night I think but I don't have social media. I'm not sure if that matters or not.[Bunny]
ReplyDeleteI think the background color is absolutely amazing. I never would have thought to combine those colors! Beautiful!
