Hi friends! It's Colleen here, and I'm going to share a spooktacular Halloween card with you today! For my card, I'll be using the new A Spooky Flight stamp and die set, Liquid Paper Splatters in Kiwi Lime, and Falling Brick Wall die plate.
This card was perhaps the most fun one of the month! I'm going to give this one to my 10-year-old granddaughter - she loves Halloween, and she loves purple! And it's not a scary card, it's cute!
First, I stamped the butterfly / bats (they look like a bat and a butterfly got together and had a baby!) and heat embossed them with a deep purple embossing powder. Then I colored them in with my Copic markers in V04 and RV17 (I mixed the 2 together to get a unique color). Then I die cut each of them out with the coordinating dies.
Already I was LOVING the look of this card! Next, I wanted to create a dark background for the butterfly / bats (do these really exist?). To add texture to a black background panel, I die cut Falling Brick Wall die, added the purple embossing powder, and adhered it over the black cardstock. Then, I stamped the sentiment words from this set that say "Spooky", "Fun", Halloween" and "Night" in the purple embossing powder all over the background panel. I added foam tape to my butterfly / bats and placed them over the background panel, deliberately placing a few off the side of the card panel and then trimming them. I finished with Liquid Paper Splatters in Kiwi Lime all over the card panel!
I am thrilled with how this turned out, spooky and playful all at the same time! And I still want to know if butterfly / bats actually do exist! The Kiwi Lime Splatters were actually added as an afterthought, and I love how it looks on this card!!! To shop the items used in this post, click on the description to be taken to the PFS shop.
