Hello everyone. I have a fun Halloween card to share today. I decided to dress up the Autumn Pumpkin from the current 2023 Fall release. As you can see, they cover the classic mummy, Frankenstein (Frankie) and vampire.
Started by die cutting the Autumn Pumpkin from white, green and purple cardstockk, thennk blended Lost Shadow, Shabby Shutters and Shaded Lilac distress ink (DI) around the respective edges for shading. Cut the upper part of the pumpkin from black cardstock and black glitter paper to die cut Frankie’s hair and vampire’s head, respectively. Used the Circle Basics and Boiling Cauldron dies for Frankie’s hair and eyes (pictured below). Frankie’s stitches were made with a thin trimmed black cardstock strip.
The Double Stitched Heart and Boiling Cauldron dies were used for the vampire’s head and mouth (pictured below). Partial diecutting was done to shorten the mouth. The star die was used for fangs. Red googley eyes were used here to mix things up. 😉
The mummy was pretty simple. The eyes (minus eyelids) were done the same way as Frankie. Tore strips of copy paper to mummify/wrap it then trimmed off excess.
For the background, masked off the moon then ink blended Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge and Black Soot DI. Splattered with diluted black gouache paint. Removed the mask then applied residual ink to the moon and stamped the sentiment in black. Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.
That wraps it up for my card. Thank you for joining me today.
