Boo

Hello and happy Friday!  I am sooooo ready for the weekend, it's been one of those weeks and the weekend can't come fast enough!  It's another exciting new release day today at Whimsy Stamps and it's all about Halloween!  I know I've mentioned it before, but I LOVE Halloween!  It is one of my favorite holidays to make cards for, so you'll be seeing lots of spooky inspiration over the next month or two. 
Today I'm sharing three cards created using the new "Boo" dies combined with Distress Oxide ink backgrounds for an extra spooky sky effect.    

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

All three of these A2 sized card are made from a base of Neenah White Solar Smooth cardstock.  I cut the window frame using the Arched Window die.  This frame was cut from black glitter cardstock.  I created a cloud template using the Grass and Cloud Edge die set and acetate sheets.  I ink blended distress oxide inks in Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron and Seedless Preserves to create each sky.  I blocked off a small white circle with masking tape for the moon.  I die cut each of the ghosts from white cardstock and put a small piece of black cardstock behind their eyes and mouth for a shadow effect.  I die cut the word "boo" from orange, green and purple glitter cardstock and made my own shadow frame from black cardstock.  All ghosts images and the word "boo" were adhered to the card with 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  

Are you starting to think about making your Halloween cards yet?  I promise, getting a good head start now will make you panic much less on October 27th!

​Have a great weekend!

XO, Crystal
