Go ahead - Scare Me!

"Skelekidz Girl" was provided by Bugaboo Stamps

I love Halloween - and I usually go much darker with my cards for adults.  But for the grandkids? - you gotta lighten it up a bit.  They are old enough now that I can venture a little past the "smiling ghosts" images with out scaring the bajeebies out of them - or even worse yet having their Mom claim I am going to give them nightmares!  All said and done... this one will end up for one of my siblings - the sentiment on the inside has thrown it just over the edge I'm afraid! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha as a friend of mine would day.

Aud Sentiments is challenging everyone to create a project with a Halloween Sentiment. You have up to FIVE entries until Oct. 7 and the prize this week is from Bugaboo Stamps.  The DT made some great projects for this challenge - if you need some inspiration, there is a boat load of ideas from tags to cards to coffins here!

TECHNIQUE

[Note: specific information on supplies and sources will be found below under “Supplies”.]

• Base card is an A2 with a left fold
• Front and inside covered with old Halloween 12x12 papers as is the mat for the focal image.  Die cut was used for the panel and the mat and when the panel was complete it was mounted slightly off the edge of the card.
• Printed 3 copies so that I could 'paper sculpt' the image.  Layers were colored with Copics.
• Used rubber stamps for the web and the candle & skull - fussy cut and sculpted the skull - mounted on foam tape.
• Inside has a rubber stamped crow and the 2nd sentiment - also mounted off the edge.

This card should be eligible for the following
