Og My Fright, Frightfully Fun, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. It actually wasn't a card, it was a tag but I worked it into a card. You can see the tag by clicking here. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Black card stock for the largest layer. I cut a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package. I taped it to the Basic Black piece and that was then taped to the front of the card base.

Using the third largest die in the "Everyday Arches" set I cut one of Basic Black card stock and then using the 4th largest, I cut one of Basic White card stock.

On the Basic White arched piece, I took a blending brush and scrubbed on some Pumpkin Pie ink at the bottom and another brush and scrubbed on some Gorgeous Grape ink. I took my mister and gave it a few sprits. My mister was a pretty light one so I didn't get the big glops of watermarks like the original one did. But it's okay, I like how the background looks. I set it aside to dry.

While the piece was drying, I cut the tree and bats using Basic Black card stock and the dies from "Oh My Fright" bundle. The moon was cut using Lemon Lolly card stock and I brushed the edges using Lemon Lolly ink to highlight it a bit more.

I cut a ghost using a piece of vellum. 

Once the arched piece was dried, I glued it to the Basic Black arched layer. I used glue because the Basic White piece warped from the water. 

The words are from the "Oh My Fright" bundle using Basic Black ink and were stamped at the lower left of the arched piece. 

When I cut my tree, I used a piece of a double sided sheet because I wanted it to be a sticker. Gluing down those branches is not fun so adding the adhesive sheet to the back made it easier to stick in place. I removed the backing and then added the vellum ghost to the back of the tree after I removed the backing from the tree. I pressed the ghost in place and then added a bit of glue where the ghost is touching the tree. Glue anywhere else will show through the ghost. The amount I added where the tree showed through the ghost was enough to hold it in place. The tree was set in place on the edge of the top arch. 

The moon was added next and it was glued in place.

I cut pieces of dimensionals and added it to the wings of the bats. The original piece using a large bat and I liked it, I actually put one on the card but I removed it because my tree was up too high so there wasn't a lot of room and it looked crowded. So I added the smaller bats. I actually like them better.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the arched layers and it was set in place on the front of the card. I centered it by eyeing it. I always figure that if it looks centered to my eyes, it's centered enough.

Those cute little ghost were added last. They are from the "Adhesive-backed Bats, Ghosts & Dots" package. They are just too cute!  And that was it, the card was done!

This was a fun card to make. I love the colors and all the activity going on here. I can't wait to play with this bundle again!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,
