Add some glitter to your next Halloween card project and add a little extra treat to your tricks this year.
Julie designed this amazing October scene and said, “Halloween cards are so fun to make. You can use fun colors, images and some sparkle never hurts. This card uses all of those and is not hard or complicated. Only the little hippo was colored and the twig background & greeting dies were heat embossed with glitter powder.” We love a sparkly Halloween card- is it just us, or does shimmery glitter bring up images of teen vampires? Just us? Ok. haha. Check out the quick steps to recreate this spooky and sparkly card.
- After coloring & die cutting the cute little hippo, I popped him one layer.
- Going thru my stash of backgrounds, I came across some wide strips of a brayered background in oranges & yellows. The strips were actually brayered on a bright yellow card stock, so the brightest color is just the true color showing thru.
- These aren’t even full backgrounds, just strips. I put 3 together with colors not in line with each other. I liked the way they’re mixed around. I taped them on the back then cut it big enough to fit behind the black die cut twig cover.
- The black glitter embossing powder was still out from last week, so I covered the twig cover w/ Versamark & embossed it.
- The little arches were cut & the bottoms trimmed to size. The black one also has the edges glitter embossed, as well as the die cut greeting.
- The little bats were die cut out of some scraps of the glitter embossed black.
- The embossed twig bg wanted to curl a bit so I added cardboard twig layer behind it to give it strength.
