A Ghoulish Fright Halloween Card...

Hi everyone, I'm so glad you stopped by today!  I'm sharing another fun card I made for the Tim Holtz Sizzix Halloween 2018 Release.  Tim has a great video here, showing us all the wonderful samples and ideas from this new Halloween release.

Let me walk you through how I put this card together.  To start with I applied Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide using a blending tool w/foam to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 sheet of Distress Watercolor Cardstock.  This cardstock really soaks up that color wonderfully.

To layer more color and kick it up a notch, I swirled on some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide to the outer edges of the cardstock.

I thought it would be fun to create an ombre effect with a little Black Soot Distress Ink to the bottom portion of the cardfront.

I added a bit of distress with watered down Black Soot Distress Paint splatters.

 

 

I added color to a new sheet of Distress Watercolor Cardstock, using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide.

 

Then applying Black Soot Distress Ink to create more ombre to bottom half of cardstock.

I did spray a little spritz of water on colored cardstock with Distress Sprayer, then dried with heat tool.  After dried I diecut the Vintage Spirits Thinlits word "fright" from wilted violet/black soot cardstock.

I diecut the Ghoulish shapes using the new Tim Holtz Sizzix Ghoulish Thinlit dies, out of Classic Kraft and white cardstock.  The bats, vampire and zombie get a little sanding to expose the underlying kraft.

I layered everything up on a black cardbase, kraft panel and cardfront.  I also did a little messy sewing.  Then, I adhered the Ghoulish diecut using Distress Collage Matte Medium and "fright" with black foam squares.

Those little bats are so stinkin' cute!

I really love the new Ghoulish Thinlits die set, I have lots of plans for it!

 

I hope you give it a try!  I'll be sharing more of my fall/halloween projects in the weeks to come.  Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time and have a wonderful day! xx
