Skull Halloween Card

 

        We had a marvelous weekend with summer like temperatures and took advantage of it by biking and hiking at Rondeau Park. Today is a rainy day and we really need a rain here in town. I’m sure the farmers are not happy about it as they are trying to get the crops in now.

        Today I’m posting the last Halloween card I made for the grandkids.

                       
          The background was made the same as the other four – scroll back to previous posts to read about the process. The background was cut down to 4 x 5 ¼ so it would fit on a regular card base. The spider web is from a T.H. stamp set. The tombstones are from an old set I have no idea who the manufacturer is. Distress Dusty Concord Ink and Black Soot were sponged around the edges only leaving the middle very light.

    The skull and bones is from a very old Spellbinder die set. I die cut them all twice and glued the bones together and rubbed some soft grey around the edges to make them look old. The two skulls were glued together and black ink was sponged around the edges – but very gently.  I die cut the skull again from black cardstock and used the small bits and eyes to fill in the holes in the white skull. The sentiment was heat embossed in white onto a scrap of black cardstock and glued on on an angle. Before gluing this to the card base four black square brads were inserted in each corner.

        That’s all for a rainy Monday, September-28-2020.

Cheers
