FMS #351 A Ghostly Greeting


I made another Halloween card using some die-cut alphas and a greeting that I won in blog candy probably 2-3 years ago and never used. Today was the day to use them. I layered up the word "ghostly" in orange and lime green" and placed the other letters on a purple strip of cardstock. The 3 ghosts are die-cuts from Impression Obsession, and were embossed with Lawn Fawn "glow-in-the- dark" ep before cutting. I added a snippet of black behind the faces so you can see their expressions. The tiny spider web and itty bitty spider are die-cuts from Taylored Expressions and the web was also embossed with glow-in-the-dark ep. I made 2 eyes on the spider with an orange glaze pen. (click the photo to enlarge the detail)

I made this card by following the Freshly Made Sketches FMS #351 so I'm entering it over there.



Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Carol

My magical mice are back in my blog, amazing how many requests to put their magical spirits back so they are back...
