Spooky!


Boooooo!!!!!

Tis the season for spiders and ghosts and goblins...oh my!

I had lots of fun making this card. My colors were inspired by the color challenge this week at

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpWNlBy6AMpcU-E2D4ZMGmoWI97bHy2TSRcgAdRbGalFm_pUxbSGHMFwwDAl6Q4VV21iaQddjkTGgMdpySeuDyKAfCzzyc23eKX-sx5H0T-_92t9JmS_pOqOeXnP1E0yJ07JMmX4ozfC-7/s1600/0color+story.jpg

I made the water colored background with stamping inks. I watched a tutorial from a
Stampin Up demonstrator who has the greatest web site. I used Color Box Ink by Stephanie Bernard. Love, Love, Love these new inks! I took an aqua marker and wet the entire piece of watercolor paper.  I dipped my aqua marker into the different inks and painted the watercolor paper. The ink spreads onto the paper and makes this really cool background.

I stamped the Spider Web (Stamps of Life)with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with black embossing powder.
I also stamped and heat embossed the larger spider (Stamps of Life) and then punched it out with a circle punch. I added some wiggly eyes to the spider...tied some black floss to make a tag and attached it to the top of the card.
Finally, I added purple satin ribbon and tied it in a pretty bow!

Thanks for stopping by!
