What gives you the creeps? Perhaps spiders crawling in and out of crevices, or skulls with hinged jaws and eyes that reflect light, or tactile fiber that feels like spider webs. Who says paper crafting is child’s play? Sure, you can create cute at Halloween, but isn’t scary what it is all about?
Instructions
STEP 1:
For focal image, stamp skull in black ink on black cardstock. Using cotton swab, apply bleach over the stamped image and allow drying. Tear the edges around the image.
STEP 2:
Using white cardstock, create card base, 5.5 x 8.5 inches in size. Use spider stamp for background stamping on the white card.
STEP 3:
Cut black/gray duplex paper slightly smaller than card, 5.25 by 8.25 inches. Tear the duplex paper twice, producing three pieces. Use the black portions on the edges of the card and the gray in the middle. Stamp a background on the duplex paper, using the spider stamp again.
STEP 4:
Wrap fiber around the bleached skull image and mount it on the gray duplex, centering it on the card. Apply dimensional magic to the eyeballs for additional interest and to create a reflection. Allow drying.
STEP 5:
Stamp “Happy Halloween” with black ink on orange cardstock. Trim closely, leaving enough room on the ends to create openings for ribbon. Distress the sides of the orange strip with black ink.
STEP 6:
Insert ribbon at each end and then mount title on card using 3D Dots, securing ribbon ends between white card and black duplex near the lower corners.
STEP 7:
Add skull and crossbones stickers on either side of the card along the black duplex.
STEP 8:
Stamp inside card and on envelope if desired.
