I made this twist 'n pop card for Halloween for one of our granddaughters. I started with this piece of SU! designer paper, stamping a MFP cat on the fence, and a witch flying in the sky with a SU! stamp, plus bigger bats done with a stick stamp by Judith. I added a punched-out element from an old Halloween kit by Teresa Collins. It measures 5" x 5-1/2" folded flat, so I'll have to make an envelope to fit this before mailing.
Here's what it looks like opened, with all sorts of Halloween die-cuts and elements. A raven on a branch with a graveyard beneath, and mummy jar with eyeballs on top, a dangling spider or two and some toxic slime in a bottle. Oh, yes, and there are tiny little die-cut mice snooping around as well. The bottom portion has a computer-generated sentiment panel, complete with a drippy goo border, a pumpkin border, a black cat and another little spider web with a tiny spider. I used lots of stickles, glossy accents, white gel pen, glaze pens, and fluorescent Copics on the elements.
Here's the back, with a glittered die-cut "BOO" I got several years ago in a blog candy prize. I love how it looks on this SU! dsp of bricks and I might just add a few die-cut ghosts here before mailing :)
I had fun making this and I made another one for another DGD that I'll post at another time.
I'm entering this into the Wednesday Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge
