Hello everyone. I have a simple Halloween card to share featuring the Large Layered Witch Hat die from the current 2023 Fall release.
The hat/shadow pieces were die cut from dark grey cardstock while the band was die cut from light grey cardstock. For dimension, the hat/shadow pieces were shaded with dark grey and black dye inks using a detail foam blending tool. Dimension for the band was achieved by die cutting it out a couple more times and stacking them together. Assembled the hat then spritz with a shimmer spray for a bit of sparkle.
The background is purple cardstock hot foiled with White Opaque hot foil and the Spiral hot foil plate using Spellbinders Glimmer hot foil machine. To enhance the tunnel-like effect, the spotlight ink blending technique was done with Villainous Potion distress ink (DI) blended around the center (center left untouched) and Black Soot DI blended around the edges. The sentiment was white heat embossed on black cardstock then fussy cut out. Assembled the card onto a split black/white card base. Added some purple Autumn Fairy Crystals to finish.
I can create Christmas cards any time of the year, but Halloween cards in July was a tough one for me. 😂 Thank you for joining me today. Have a wonderful week.
Supplies
I like the spiral effect, it is spooky and a great background for the hat. The layers you created make the hat look so puffy and life like.
