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 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Basic Black card stock for the largest layer. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package. I taped that to the Basic Black piece and then that was taped to the front of the card.
Next I cut the pieces for the long panel. The back layer is a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock that measures 4-1/2" x 2-1/4". On top of that is a 4-3/8" x 2-1/8" piece of Basic Black card stock and on top of that is a 4-1/4" x 2" piece of DSP from the same package. I taped these layers together and added Dimensionals to the back. The panel was set in place on the left side of the card about 1/2" from the top and bottom edge and also from the fold.
I cut two ghosts using the dies in the "Oh My Fright" bundle on a piece of vellum. I also cut the bats from the same bundle using Basic Black card stock.
The words were stamped from the same bundle using Basic Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the 1-3/4" die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I used a retired circle set and cut a Basic Black piece using the 1-7/8" circle die. I taped the two circles together. Dimensionals were added to the right side and tape to the left. The circle layer was set in place about 1/4" from the right edge and 3/4" from the bottom edge. I didn't press down on the taped side. I added a little bit of glue to the right side of the ghosts and slipped them under the circle a bit to hold them in place and to hide the glue.
I cut pieces of Dimensionals and added them to the back of the bat's wings and I set them in place on the panel.
I was going to call the card one but one of those little stinkin' cute bats from the adhesive-backed "Bats, Ghosts & Dots" package. I don't know which I like better, the cute bats or the adorable ghosts! I think it's a tie!
This was a fun, very quick and super easy card to make. It's one of my favorite layouts/sketches.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,
Wanda

I like how you can see the background paper better in this one, and am just loving those ghost out of the vellum. Cool touch with the bats too!
ReplyDeleteGood job hiding the glue holding the ghosts in place. Cutting them from vellum was a great idea. I will give that a try.
