take a look at this super cute Halloween card:
- create a background on watercolor paper with Distress Inks (Milled Lavender, Seedless Preserves, Dusty Concord and Black Soot for the sky and Mowed Lawn, Pine Needles, Iced Spruce and Pumice Stone for the ground) and the Mini Ink Blending Tool
- add some water splatters to the background and dab with a paper tissue; add some pearlized water splatters for that extra shimmer and shine and the starry sky look
- cut two strips from the BoBunny Enchanted Garden 6x6 paper pad and use border punches on them (Martha Stewart Edge Star and EKSuccess Dotted Scallop); stamp the stitching pattern from Lawn Fawn Argyle Backdrops on the purple one
- stamp the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Spooktacular with Versamark directly to the background panel and heat-emboss with detail white embossing powder
- stamp the tombstone from the same stamp set on the grey patterned paper
- stamp the cat, the witch hat and the bat on Neenah Solar White cardstock and color with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor and Zest-it
- for extra glitter, color the buckle on the witch hat with Delicata Golden Glitz Ink and a very fine brush
- use kraft cardstock as a cardbase and adhere everything using double-sided tape and foam tape
- add some of the leftover stars in the background with DIY glue dots
