I just started getting into the Halloween spirit, just a little behind everyone else! I've seen such amazing Halloween projects out here on blogger and YouTube, and I have yet to create something... but I'm getting there! hehe! I was lucky to get a 20% F&F coupon at Michael's from a YouTube friend, so I'll be stocking up on my Halloween scrapbooking stash soon... then I can get started on a few mini albums. :-)
I created this card for a friend... the Greeting Farm "Sweet & Toxic" image was my inspiration. I had just received the Sizzix spiderweb die in the mail this morning so I had to try it out and decided to incorporate it into the card. I used silver acrylic dabber paint on the spiderweb then edged it with pitch black dabber paint. I shredded some cheese cloth under the spider web to add some freaky dimension. I also took my hot glue gun and pulled on the hot glue to add more realistic spider webs. The rubbery spider is from Michael's (Oh, and let me say that I absolutely HATE spiders, they creep me OUT!! So working with this rubber spider was just so freaky for me!!!! LOL!!) The paper & sentiment are from last year's "Halloween" paper collection by Recollections. I edged the paper with my Tim Holtz paper distresser and inked it with Black Soot distress ink. I then sprayed the polka dot paper with "Black Magic" glimmer mist by Tattered Angels. The Halloween Ticket is from the Tim Holtz "Odds and Ends" clingmount stamp set. I colored in the sweet & toxic chick using my Copic markers and At You Spica glitter pens. Hope you likey! :-) Thanks for stopping by!
hugs,
Arlene

Cute card but I could not put a spider on one of my Halloween cards, (I freak out on those guys) Yikes!! But I have to say it gives it the perfect touch to the card. Just saw your videos and your baby album turned out really adorable. Thanks for sharing your Anniversary album too. Beautiful work there Arlene.
Have a wonderful Sunday and week too.
Blessings!
So cute!! I love that little girl, lol!
Super cute card Ar. I am not really a halloween person, so it is hard for me to get in the spirit. Your card turned out amazing.
