Happy Ghosts on a Forest Path by Jean Okimoto

The new Forest Path from our Christmas 2022 Collection is quickly becoming a Design Team favorite. It's great for frosty winter scenes like Sara's and Trina's. Add wide-eyed ghosts from the Ghosts in the Forest set - and it's a Halloween card too! Hi, Jean Okimoto here sharing a fall scene with a combo from our Fall and Christmas Collections.

Prep the Forest Path die by rubbing it briskly with scrunched waxed paper to help release the tiny offcuts around the treetops. Cut it from black cardstock.

Cut a piece of the dark gray/brown Earth Neutral 6x6 to fit behind the black diecut and attach it. It's either an old country road winding thru the woods - or a muddy stream after a fall rainstorm. Attach it to a top-folded dark orange A2 card.

Cut the ghosts from the Ghosts in the Forest set. Love their faces! Attach them to the background with foam tape.

Cut Boo Posh Script from black cardstock and the bright yellow-green Lush Green Collection 6x6.

Use a hard rubber brayer and frayed burlap Distress Oxide ink to highlight the texture of Kraft Woodgrain Paper. Dry the ink and diecut Rickety House - just the main section, not the roof section. Cut the roof from the dark brown Earth Neutral 6x6. Cut a scrap of the yellow glittered Twinkling Jewel 6x6 for a sparkly door and windows.

Thanks for visiting our blog - hope you enjoyed this little detour from our Christmas designs. Halloween cards are always fun to send - and receive - before the Christmas rush.

See you in October...
