Hi friends! Halloween is almost here, so I thought it was time to share this fun, easy, happy Halloween card. Honestly, I am not big on the spooky and scary things for this holiday, so I went cheery and bright for this card.
To begin this project, I used the Ghostly Treats stencil from scrapbook.com to ink blend in some happy CP ink colors: it’s a girl, bellini, garden party, sixteen candles, cummerbund, and chiffon. I used blending brushes to get a light layer of ink and tried to create a gradient in the larger images. I also used some bits of mint tape to mask off any shapes that I did not want to accidently get ink into. For this project, I decided to color in each set of shapes its own color. When I was done with the inking, I wiped of my stencil and used an embossing mat to emboss the image into my inked background. Then I trimmed the panel down so that it would leave a border on an A2 size card base.
For the sentiment, I swiped some sixteen candles ink onto a piece of white cardstock and used some bold alpha dies to cut out the word boo. For the “to you” portion of the sentiment, I just used a black pen and a scrap of white cardstock.
I stacked up some “boos” for my sentiment and adhered all of the pieces to an A2 size card base. And, voila!! My card was done!
