Halloween Card 2014 Number 08

Hello Crafter's,

Welcome to my blog today.

Today I'm sharing the last Halloween card for this year. I realise I have left all my cards very late compared to everyone else. Everyone's started their Christmas cards and I've only just finished my Halloween cards. So I'm really behind the times. Never mind, so the card for today is a haunted house card. I had huge visions about this card and realising I didn't have all the crafting supplies to make my first idea. I had to gather everything I did have and plan it out carefully.

I Started by using Water coloor card and using Distress Ink for my background. I love making a night scene by using a dark blue and a dark green. I put it to the side while I worked on the images.

I used Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting stamp set and stamped the house image. I coloured it in using Promarkers. I used only the darkest colours I could to make it look more dark and spooky. I loved how it turned out. First of all I just wanted a silhouette of a house, but I think this turned out alot better.

I thought the house by it self looked a little bare so I stamped the tree image and put that on the card too. The bottom still looked a little bare so I decided to use the fence border stamp on the bottom. That's another reason I love Lawn Fawn stamps their border stamps are so easy to line up. I stamped the moon and coloured it in grey and a few bats too. I covered the moon, bats and the windows on the house in glossy accents.

For the sentiment I used Adirondeck ink in Rust. I stamp it straight onto the background. I wasn't sure how it would turn out as it was on water colour card which already had Distress Ink on. I was really surprised how clear it turned out. I used black soot distress ink around the edges of the watercolor card to help blend with the card. I used foam pads to adhere the back ground to my card base. I used my black card, these card bases have been used a lot this month and I still have a lot left over. They were a bargain.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog, please comment below I would love to hear from you
