I See a Ghost Card

by 29 Comments

     Since Halloween’s almost here, I’m sharing the last of my Halloween projects.  I’m posting two different type of cards in one post mainly because I don’t want to come up with another catchy blog title!I’ve really enjoyed making all my Halloween decorations this year. Obviously, because I’ve posted 12 Halloween projects on my blog! Now on to some Thanksgiving Decor and of course Christmas- Yikes!!Halloween Ghost Card

This card was a challenge for me since I was only able to use black and orange.  I kept wanting to add purple or green but I stuck to the challenge.
 The card base is cut from Wild Card and I glued a transparency on the window so it looks like the ghost is looking through one.   The sentiments are from Bug Bites and of course the ghost is cut from Mini Monsters.  I really wanted to put the ghost on a wobble but I didn’t have one so I had to use pop-dots instead.  The card still seemed to simple for me so I added some texture embossed stitching and  black and orange twine.

I like how this picture turned out, the glare makes the ghost look like you can see him in a mirror.  Spooooky!  If I make this card again I’m going definitely going to put the ghost on a wobble.

Here’s a Few More Ghostly Cards…..

I made these simple tri-fold cards from extra Halloween paper and die-cut scraps that were laying around.   I really like the look of these triangular tri-fold cards- clean and simple.

The ghost and spider are from Paper Doll Dress Up and I used ribbon as a belly band to keep the card closed.  I added some texture embossing to the inside for dimension and again I stamped a Halloween sentiment from Bug Bites.

Thanks for looking and wish you a Happy Trick or Treating!
