Happy Haunting

Hello my crafty friends!  Maria here on the blog with you today sharing this cute Halloween card, featuring a few of my favorite stamp sets by LDRS Creative.  Halloween is fast-approaching and I want to start creating my cards so that I'll have plenty of time to mail them to the recipient.

 

For my card below, I am showcasing the Happy Haunting stamp set and coordinating dies, A View for All Seasons stamp set and coordinating dies, In the grass die set with the Sweater Weather patterned paper pad and hybrid inks.

 

 

I started by stamping the images on some Neenah solar white card stock using the Raven Hybrid ink.  I colored the images in with my alcohol markers and die cut, using the coordinating dies.  

 

I ink-blended my A2 size panel of Neenah with some Banana Cream Pie Hybrid Ink and mini sponge dauber.  I increased the intensity of the color towards the middle.  I foam-mounted the window, flower box and the black cat on the card panel then started adhering the rest of the ivy leaves with liquid glue.   

 

 

Before adhering my trick-or-treaters, I die-cut the two grass panels out of the Sweater Weather paper using the In the Grass die set.  I added the pumpkins and the treat bag, then foam-mounted the rest of the images for added dimension.

 

I finished my design by stamping the cobweb and spider, then stamped the sentiment using Raven Hybrid Ink.  Here's another look:

 

 

I absolutely LOVE that you can mix and match these cute stamp sets to create a beautiful Halloween scene.  I hope you like my card today and happy stamping!
