After returning home from a month in Europe (I'll share some photos in another post), I finally had some time to get started on my Halloween cards.
My sister let me use her multi-aperture frame die to cut a few frames when I visited her last summer. I cut one in purple and several in white. I kept all of the aperture cut-outs to use, so on this card I took some of the white ones and colored them with my alcohol markers.
I used an assortment of die-cuts, stickers, sequins and a spider web border punch to decorate my card. I also added some sparkle to my witch hat and dress and to the spider's body with a Wink of Stella pen. Can you also see that I added a little bit of definition to the witch's broom with a white colored pencil?
I used several stamps on the inside of my card, popping up the "Happy Halloween."
I think you can see in the photo on the right how the "Happy Halloween" is on foam squares.
It has taken more than a week for me to sort of get back into the groove of crafting. There has been lots of catching up to do--laundry, grocery shopping, yard work, etc.
I've also had some catching up to do at the thrift shop where I volunteer, but I think I am beginning to get things under control.
I hope you are have a beautiful autumn (or spring, depending on where you are). Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Wow! Everything is there to scare you ...
A very nice Halloween card.
Hugs.
That frame card let you get in all the spooky elements of Halloween. Cute card.
Don't you love the precut or rather die cut frames, just have to find the image that fits. I haven't made any Halloween cards yet, made some fall cards but no Halloween. Love all the elements you used on this fun card.
What a fun Halloween card! Perfect idea to color the white die cuts with just the color you want! I have that die too and have an idea for Christmas but I'll have to keep this in mind for next year.
Great card, Cheryl - how fun! It sure does take a while to get caught up on things, doesn't it?? Even being going for just a few days seems to take me a while to catch up. Your vacation sounds amazing - can't wait to see pictures.
