I had a lot of fun putting these Halloween cards together; from the stenciled background to the playful ghosts and the cheesecloth in the background!

To begin both cards, I cut two panels measuring 4 by 5 1/4 inches out of Lilac Grace and Plum Pudding cardstock. I used a craft stencil to add some Plum Pudding ink to the lighter panel and Royal Velvet ink to the darker panel using a blender brush. Once that was done, I added the Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste over the top to give the polka dots some shimmer and shine! I loved the raised detail it gives the panel as well! I felt the polka dots played off the ghosts' expressions nicely!

I die cut all of the ghosts, bows, and speech bubbles out of white cardstock and then stamped everything using my mini MISTI. Since I was making 2, it really made things easy!

I stamped the "Happy  Halloween" sentiment in black onto a strip of Royal Velvet cardstock to bring in more of this particular shade. It's so rich and really helped me to ground the cards.

I stamped and heat embossed the spider web image onto a small rectangle of black cardstock. I adhered the white and the black panel together at a wonky angle using foam squares. I also attached the snippets of cheesecloth to the back pulling it here and there until I got the desired look.

Mr. Ghost is wearing a dapper bow-tie and Mrs. Ghost is sporting her Lilac Grace bow. The eyes and mouth images got a little extra detail with a bit of Crystal Glaze to make them shine! I also added a few sparkling clear sequins here and there! Thanks for fluttering by!
