A brighter Halloween creation for today . . .
~ Ü ~
Make My Monday has a black & orange autumnal challenge, with an optional halloween extra. Stampin' Royalty has spooky/creepy/halloween theme and Top Tip Tuesday says Trick or Treat.
So I'm linking up to all three with this
Tip #1 - Don't limit yourself to one image. If two or more images can tell a story, then by all means use them!
Tip #2 - I've used gloss gel for the eyes, and let it dry. Then applied the crackle paint on the bat, including the eyes. Spooky, eh!
The fence is corrugated cardboard. It has been liberally inked, and then coated with crackle paint.
Tip #3 - I find that a lot of embossing folders are designed to American standards and do not match A4 size. So, instead of shortening the card, I ripped the embossed piece through the middle. That way, I can get even edges on all four sides (and more black!). To fill the gap, I drew spider webs with a marker, and ran gloss gel over the lines. I also added black glitter to give the embossed piece more definition.
Thanks for stopping by!

Great card and thanks for all the tips, particularly the one on embossing folders. I rarely make 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" cards, but on my embossing folders are geared to that size. Enjoy th weekend. Yvonne
