Halloween Card 2014 Number 3

My stripy Halloween Card

Hello Guys,

Are you enjoying your Halloween crafting. Today I am sharing a plain card today. No cute critters no stamping just things that everyone would have around the home.

I chose my black pre scored card for the base and cut strips of orange, yellow and green paper. I used the left over yellow paper as a base. I stuck the strips of coloured paper diagonally on the paper using PVA Glue. I still used the yellow strips so there would be no bumps and the card would be even.

I don't have any alphabet dies for my big shot so I used a pencil and drew the letters my self. The good thing about doing it free hand is that you can get any kind of letters you want. I cut the letters with some scissors. 

The worst thing about cutting out while watching TV is that I lost a C and a K down the sofa. For a while the card would have read 'Tri and Treat'. I did some more and cut them out and all of a sudden the ones I lost decided to show up. ironic huh? I should really take this lesson but I bet as soon as I have a image to cut I will head over to the sofa and watch TV. It just makes it easier. I find cutting a bit tedious, watching a comedy just helps.

I used Glossy accents and a glue for my letters and when they were all on I decided to use glossy accents on the accents to give the card a little extra something. I stuck the stripes with letters on the base with foam adhesive.

I love how bright this card is. It's not your usual Halloween card. I love how the stripes turned out and the letters look awesome. This card would be perfect for people who don't usually celebrate Halloween. It's not in your face with ghouls and not cute critters. In a way it's plain and simple with cool letters. 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. Please feel free to leave a comment I would love to hear from you. Have you made any Halloween cards Please share them.
