For some reason I have Halloween on the brain already. Normally I get my house decorated for the holiday as soon as the 1st of the month hits, but I'll be a tad behind on that this year as I'm doing my Fall Open House that day, and thought that putting the house in chaos to get it decorated in time for that event 'might' be pushing it a bit!!
I decided to have a bit of fun using the digital versions of 'Toil & Trouble' & 'Halloween Bash' (that are in the Holiday catalog) to create these fun cards (which I received in swaps at Convention this summer).
First up, Toil & Trouble . . .
I just LOVE the angled DSP on this card, so that was one of my biggest challenges, but once I got the pennants placed, this card came together really quick. Also, a quick note on the bat--it's created using the butterfly punch, then the small circle punch on the bottom of the wings. HOW cool is that?!?! And my digital re-creation:
And then I had another card using this same set.
The green, purple & orange background was created by sliding the ink pad across the paper. I probably could have found something similar in my digital content, but decided to use a little creative license and used some of the splatters instead.
And this card using Halloween Bash! The challenges on here were to create a DSP that had the chevron/embossed look & the Washi tape.
What do you think?!
The Washi tape is probably my favorite element on this card. I used the skull & crossbones DSP from Witches' Brew (which is in Pumpkin Pie) and re-colored it to Basic Black. Then, I also created a 'double torn edge' punch that I filled with the re-colored DSP and lowered the opacity a little. LOVE it!!
