Halloween Haunt

 

It's that time of year again where Halloween is exploding all around us.  I don't make a lot of cards for this particular holiday but this is the first this year.  I end up donating a lot of them to Operation Write Home (as long as I haven't added glitter of any kind).  Two challenges were used for inspiration today:  Create with Connie & Mary Fall 2013 Challenge #1 and Fab Friday Challenge #25.

The card base is Naturals Ivory card stock (love those little flecks in this paper).  I stamped the web from the Web Wishes stamp set with Basic Black ink.  The image from the Best of Halloween stamp set was heat embossed on Summer Starfruit card stock with VersaMark and Black Embossing Powder.  I matted it with Modern Medley

designer paper and Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black card stocks.  The sentiment from the More Great Greetings stamp set was also heat embossed with Black Embossing Powder, punched out and matted with Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie card stock circles.  It was attached with Dimensionals.  My two little web crawlers from the Web Wishes stamp set were stamped on Naturals Ivory card stock with StazOn ink.  I colored them in with Pumpkin Pie and Summer Starfruit markers and then fussy cut them.  They were added to the card with Glue Dots.  Pumpkin Pie Candy Dots were added to the image and the sentiment.  Crystal Effects was added to the eyes of the spiders for a bug-eyed look.  I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend.  And if you have an over abundance of cards that are sitting there with no where to go, check out the Operation Write Home site here.  They send hand made cards to military personnel around the globe so they can then send them to friends and family back home.  Enjoy your day.
