No Tricks, Just Treats

Happy Friday everyone!  It's Jeanne today with a quick, clean and simple card for Halloween.  I love Halloween; not the ghoulish things but all the cute Halloween things - the black kitties, jack-o-lanterns, cute ghosts, trick or treaters, etc.  This card features just such a cute ghost and jack-o-lantern.
I started by making an A2 card base from black cardstock.  I then cut a panel 4 x 5.25 inches from Halloween designer paper.  I used the largest of the stitched rectangle dies to cut a panel from white cardstock.
I used scraps of Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and white to cut the pieces from the Happy Ghost and Halloween Phrase and More die.
I glued my image together on my silicone mat.  Using the mat allows me to glue all the pieces together without fear of them sticking to whatever is underneath.  The eyes are colored with a fine tip multi-liner pen.
Next, I glued all my panels together and laid the ghost and pumpkin on the white panel so I could get the right placement for the words.  To make sure the words are straight I will use a ruler and my grid paper.  My ruler has a cork backing and does not slip so I can place it straight across my card and use it as a guide for the word.

Finally I popped the ghost off the card with foam dots.
I still felt it needed something so I added a few matte black sequins.

Happy Halloween Hanger

Hello creative peeps!  Sheila here to share a mixed media Happy Halloween Hanger.
I used while watercolor paper to die cut the Happy Ghost Cottage Cutz.  
I used different shades of yellow and orange watercolors to start layering color on the dies.
I continued to add layers for watercolor color in the pumpkin, stem and ghosts.  Once dried, I assembled the Happy Ghost die gluing together then adding glitter glue.
Then, I die cut black cardstock with the Happy Halloween Web.  Then adding glitter glue to add a little sparkle.

For the canvas pennant hanger, I used spritzed on glimmer mist in coordinating colors. Then I used high impact paints, in coordinate colors, to add dimension and shimmer to the canvas.  Next I layered the canvas pieces on top of the pennant hanger.  
(Created with Cottage Cutz dies, Canvas Corp Brands, Tattered Angels products and Prima Marketing Watercolors.)

Then, I added ribbons, lace, vintage button and washi tape to complete.

I hope you enjoyed a little Halloween inspiration!  Remember to go to the online store on Wednesday, Sept 20th for ordering.
